I'll Be the One by Lyla Lee
4.5

Mini Audiobook Review: Okay this was SUPER cute!!!! A plus size FMC who is on a singing/dancing competition?! Yes please!

I absolutely loved Skye's attitude throughout this whole book! She is such a force to be reckon with and I am so glad she stood up to not only her mom but to the judges & critics who were criticizing a teenager. She knew what she was good at and knew what goals she wanted to achieve. I only know a smidge about the K-Pop world so it was nice seeing the behind the scenes of it. I already know being a daughter of a mother can be difficult but WHEW Skye's mom was no joke. Even my husband who could hear the book when I would listen would make comments about how mean her mom was being. I am fortunate as a plus size teen that I wasn't put under that kind of microscope but I can imagine in a lot of households it could be like that. I am glad she had her dad in her corner.

I thought the audio went by super fast and the narrator Greta Jung was great as all the characters. I do recommend via audio. Also how fab is this cover & the model even did some K-Pop dances to teach readers.
