4 stars
"A pitch-perfect K-pop rom com! Fame and friendship
can get complicated, especially when there are more than platonic feelings at
play.
Seventeen-year-old Lulu Li has her last summer before college all planned out.
But her plans go awry when she learns that Kite Xu, her old next-door neighbor
and childhood friend, will be returning home from South Korea.
Lulu hasn't seen Kite since eighth grade, after he left the country to pursue a
career in K-pop, eventually debuting in the boy group Karnival. When Karnival
announces that Kite will be taking a break from K-pop activities for mysterious
reasons, the opportunity to rekindle their friendship arises.
Star-struck and nostalgic, Lulu tries to reconnect with Kite. As they continue
to bond and reminisce over the past, Kite's sister, Connie, warns Lulu not to
get too close to her brother. The harder Lulu tries to deny her feelings, the
stronger they get. But how could a K-pop star ever fall for a nobody from home?
And even if he did, is there any way for their relationship to end but badly?
Underlined is a line of totally addictive romance,
thriller, and horror paperback original titles coming to you fast and furious
each month. Enjoy everything you want to read the way you want to read
it."
My Review:
Very cute YA contemporary about when the boy next door
becomes a K-pop star in another country and then comes home for the summer.
Childhood best friends and neighbors, Lulu and Kite have not seen each other
since the end of eighth grade. Kite is now firmly established as a member of a
K-pop group and Lulu and her friends just graduated from high school. I enjoyed
watching as they caught up on all the things they missed over their years
apart, and how their friendship turns into something more, slowly and sweetly.
