We are so excited today to be joined by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and the author of our new fave Kpop YA novel, Alexandra Leigh Young! We read Alex's new book Idol Gossip and we have so many questions for her! First get Alex's Kpop origin story as is tradition before getting into a non-spoiler-y discussion of Idol Gossip. Hear about the work that went into building Alice Choy's world as a kpop trainee, Alex's real world inspiration, how she balanced actual Kpop history with fiction, and what lessons she took for more realistic portrayals of performing.

Pre-order your copy of Idol Gossip now! We have so much more with Alex coming in a super spoilery book club episode soon!!
