Reach for this book if your teenager is struggling with the pressure to fit in or feels like an outsider after a major life transition. It is particularly resonant for those navigating the high-stakes world of social media or competitive extracurriculars. The story follows Alice, an American teen in Seoul who is thrust into the grueling world of K-pop training after being scouted at a karaoke bar. Beyond the glamour of the stage, the book explores the loneliness of moving to a new country and the resilience required to maintain one's identity under intense public scrutiny. It is an excellent choice for sparking conversations about self-worth, the reality behind online personas, and the importance of finding a supportive community when you feel like a 'fish out of water.' Recommended for ages 12 and up due to its sophisticated look at industry pressures and social media toxicity.
