I didn't read the first and I won't read the second but I certainly will enjoy reading _about_ them lol

i did read the first but i don't think i'll tune in for the second - i would love to read a book report on the second book though!

I'll download it as ebook and will try my best to read it - but given how fast I skimmed through this first chapter, I'm doubtful about it. I can't take so much of bad writing, and my own fanfics/stories are bad enough lol.

I felt the girls' characters were blury enough in the first book + well enough mixed in with common YA tropes to not tie them 100% to one specific SNSD member, which was clever of Jessica to do honestly. I'm curious to see if she keeps it up when her character leaves Girls Forever. As a SNSD fan I'm not gonna lie, I'll welcome some gossip.

yea I don't think there was any specific member tied to Mina or the other girls, which is better for Jessica as I don't think she can afford to name drop anyone. but Ari and Sumin sound very Yuri/Sooyoung/Hyoyeon

I thought Ari and Sumin would fit Taeyeon and Tiffany

Ari and Sumin are sipping cocktails by the dessert bar and, as usual, are arguing about something or other. Being the same age and having started training at the same time, the two of them are constantly jumping back and forth between being best friends and roasting each other until one of them cries. Honestly, they're like a dysfunctional old married couple. It's actually kind of adorable.

That would def fit them lol

I read the first and I'll read the second, I'm curious to see if this time my eyes really will pop out by all the rolling they'll inevitably do.

Of course I will read it! I read the first and I hope she'll write something more ridiculous than Jason taking Rachel and her sister in a private jet to Tokyo to do Mario Kart in real life.
