I'll Be the One

BLURB: Skye Shin has heard it all. Fat girls shouldn’t dance. Wear bright colors. Shouldn’t call attention to themselves. But Skye dreams of joining the glittering world of K-Pop, and to do that, she’s about to break all the rules that society, the media, and even her own mother, have set for girls like her.She’ll challenge thousands of other performers in an internationally televised competition looking for the next K-pop star, and she’ll do it better than anyone else.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Fun and cute.
“I’m fat. People think it means I should hate myself, and when I don’t, it makes them uncomfortable. But this is just another part of who I am, and I’m happy with who I am.”
[...] “You’re living your best life,” he says. “They’re not.”
“Exactly.”
Cheesy? Corny? Too straightforward? Yes. But. I. DON'T. CARE :D
Haneul "Skye" Shin es una chica de 16 años , coreana-americana ,
bisexual y rellenita, con un gran sueño: ser estrella de K-pop. Asi que
cuando sabe que habrá una competencia de talentos para K-pop en Los
Angeles, donde ella vive, acude de inmediato dispuesta a demostrar su
talento como bailarina y cantante , sin que le importe lo que piense su
madre, los demás, y hasta la misma gente del ambiente del K-pop que
favorece a las chicas extra delgadas.
Como podran suponer con esa
presentación, hay tema para todos en esta historia, en contra de los
prejuicios y la definición de normal según quién sabe que estandares.
De modo que tenemos:
-Heroína no-blanca.
-Adolescente alegre y valiente.
-LGBTQ +
- Bailarina de talla grande.
Es
una historia bastante lineal, sin grandes dramas, siendo el mayor
conflicto con su madre. El interés romántico, grata sorpresa, es
bastante dulce y agradable. Hay algunos comentarios acerca de los
comentarios desagrables en linea, principalmente lo que aqui llaman
gordo-fobia. En el mundo del espectaculo esta crítica la vemos seguido y
creo que más de alguien se sentirá identificado, y aqui me incluyo
siendo adolescente.
Asi que si quieres una historia sencilla,
para agradarte el dia y disfrutar. (Y sobre todo si te gusta cantar y
bailar) Aqui la tienes :)
Miren esa portada, por favor.

Haneul "Skye" Shin is a 16-year-old Korean-American bisexual plus size girl with a big dream: to be a K-pop star. So when she knows there will be a talent competition for K-pop in Los Angeles, where she lives, she immediately goes to show her talent as a dancer and singer, no matter what her mother think, the others think, and even the same people from the K-pop scene who favor the extra slim girls.
As you might suppose with that presentation, there is a theme for everyone in this story, against prejudice and he definition of normal according to who knows what standards.
So:
-Non-white heroin.
-Cheerful and courageous teen.
-LGBTQ+
-Plus size dancer young lady.
It is a fairly linear story, without great dramas, being the biggest conflict with her mother. The romantic interest, pleasant surprise, is quite sweet and pleasant. There are some comments about the nasty comments online, mainly what they call fat-phobia here. In the world of the spectacle we see this criticism often and I think that more than someone will feel identified, and I include myself here.
So if you want a simple story, to enjoy your day. (And especially if you like to sing and dance). Here you have it :)
