As a fan of Girls' Generation since their debut, I found this book quite challenging. I spent a lot of time guessing who might be who and looking up outfits and details. 

However, I felt the writing was poor. The plot, set five years after the first book *Shine*, focuses on the main character's other activities like her fashion line and boyfriend, rather than her group. The main character came across as annoying, always portrayed as a flawless victim, while the other characters were depicted as villains who were always wrong.

I did appreciate that in the end, she achieved her goals with her fashion line and relationship, leading to a happier life for her.

As a dedicated OTP9 fan, I still love and support all nine girls. This book seemed to push her side of the story, and I genuinely wish we could know what really happened and if they still communicate now.
