SO YOU WANNA BE A POP STAR?
Cover Art by Jeff Östberg, Design by Frances Soo Ping Chow
Five solo pop artists. One chance to make it big…together?
Everly Brooks knows she has what it takes to be the next big singer-songwriter. At least, that's if she could get her onstage presence to stop feeling so wooden and blossom like her rich, moving lyrics. The reality signing competition, SO YOU WANNA BE A POP STAR? is her chance at proving to the world—and herself—that her talent and artistry can mean something more than just live streams and online videos.
Vinny Vecchi thought he was heading toward a life full of makeup, wigs, and werking it on the drag stages of NYC. But a powerful diva voice is a precious thing to waste and, in need of money to make his drag dreams come true, SO YOU WANNA BE A POP STAR? is the next best thing. However, surrounded by competitors with clear brands and sharpened musical identities, he wonders if he can break through while still discovering himself.
When a group performance on the show goes viral overnight, Everly and Vinny find their careers unexpectedly tied together. Along with their competitors—dancing queen influencer Dea Seo, pop-punk powerhouse CeCe Winnifred, and boy band heartthrob Stern Green—these five artists are forced to become the newest pop super group: Jeweltones. Too bad they’ve already been flirting, friending, and feuding for months.
You, the reader, get to make choices that will make or break Everly, Vinny, and the group’s meteoric rise in this interactive novel. Will you heat up the steamy romances and mend the cracks to help Jeweltones shine bright, or will they burn out under pressure? The CHOICES are yours to make!
