Jessica's new book 'Bright', a sequel to her debut novel 'Shine!', will be published next month on May 10. 

To commemorate the release of 'Bright', Jessica plans on holding a virtual book event, hosted by The Strand, on May 18 at 8 PM EST. Make sure to visit The Strand's official SNS for details on how to reserve tickets. 

Meanwhile, Jessica's debut novel 'Shine!' initially faced criticism after its publication, as the author was accused of intentionally "exposing" certain aspects of the K-Pop industry in a negative light.

Hmmm I read the synopsis and it just sounds like it’s gonna be a fictionalized version the infamous 9/30 event

-


“Couture gowns, press parties, international travel. Rachel Kim is at the top of her game. Girls Forever is now the number-one K-pop group in the world, and her fame skyrockets after her viral airport styling attracts the attention of fashion’s biggest names. Her life’s a swirl of technicolor glamour and adoring fans. Rachel can’t imagine shining any brighter.

- Do I even have to explain who Girls Forever is based on

-It’s hard to say when SNSD was at their peak, but 2013-2014 was a pretty popular era

-Jessica’s well known for her airport fashion

The only thing that’s missing is love—but Rachel’s determined to follow the rules. In her world, falling in love can cost you everything


Enter Alex. When Rachel literally falls head over designer heels into his lap on a crowded metro, she’s tempted to give up her anti-love vows. Alex is more than just heart-stopping dimples and adorably quirky banter. He believes in Rachel’s future—both in music and in fashion.

-Tyler Kwon’s support for Blanc and Eclare + her music

-Also has the simple part covered

But the higher you rise, the farther you have to fall. And when a shocking act of betrayal shatters her world, Rachel must finally listen to her heart.

-It’s hella obvious what this one is LMAO

-Jessica’s fav phrase: “Follow your heart”


I’m interested but I can already expect her ghost writer to beat around the bush surrounding 9/30 for legal issues and not the actual tea
