Vengeance With Maybe Some Fava Beans
I'm the girl who wants vengeance on the jerks who messed with me at Oxford Academy. He's a K-pop star moving back to America after his image takes a blow in Korea. We meet under less than optimal conditions, and he offers to help me under one condition. Pretend to be his girlfriend long enough so the media focuses on his redemption arc. Frankly, I'll agree to anything if it means I can make the Kings and Queens of Oxford Academy pay. I started my career in the US. It seems fitting, after losing dual citizenship status in Korea, to return back now that I'm nearly nineteen. My motives for helping Rin aren't altruistic. The jerks at Oxford Academy do deserve to be taken down. But I'm here because I want her to see that I'm the one she wants. Except she's still in love with one of the so-called Kings. And most girls who fantasize about me don't understand the cost of being famous. Everything has a price.

Wow!
This really surprised me! I’m ashamed to admit I kept passing this book up because of the cover (it doesn’t look like a romance cover, which is what I was looking for), and I’m so glad I finally read it! The story about a severely bullied girl who gets the chance for revenge with the help of a famous k-pop star was a great read; the writing, the characters, and the storyline are all excellent. And it’s definitely a romance, HEA included. Highly recommend!

Sweet and real
The story of two young people suffering to rebuild their lives is realistic. Of course love story is the key to a happy and beautiful plot. I throughly enjoyed it. I’ll probably reread it as I got the next 2 books in the series! 💕💕💕

tw: blackmail, bullying, drug use, overdose, date rape (discussions of)
A competently made teen thriller focused on revenge and falling in love with an international pop star.
It's fine! In this subgenre of K-pop books it stands out in actually handling mental health fairly alright. I just don't find the characters very compelling overall, and the romance between Jae and Rin doesn't feel developed enough.
