11 00 p.m.: Jack is sneaking into a fancy hotel, on assignment for his tabloid job that he keeps secret from his parents.
On his way out of the hotel, he runs into a girl wearing slippers, a girl who is single-mindedly determined to find a hamburger.

Rating: 🌟🌟
My Review: I really enjoyed this author's first title but I have to say this one I just really didn't care about. I think it really had a lot to do with this being about K-Pop stars. Which is just something that I am not interested in. The writing was done pretty well but I still think it wasn't as good as the other story I read. This one reminded me of The Sun is Also a Star as it takes place over the course of a day. I could see this as a summer beach read. Just something to pass the time with. But not one that you would come back over and over to read. Its a one trick pony with this one.
