So You Wanna Be A Pop Star?
The next book in our unique interactive fiction format, an upbeat and playful YA following two queer teens on their journey to music stardom as part of a new pop supergroup, perfect for fans of Can't Take That Away and K-Pop Confidential.
Everly, Vinny, and their groupmates Dea, CeCe, and Stern can create musical magic. The only problem is that they have been competing against each other in a reality singing competition show for weeks. They all had their own hopes, dreams, and relationships with each other, which have made things... complicated. So, they aren't expecting their group performance on the final night of the competition to become a viral hit.
Then, in an unexpected twist, the show decides the record deal isn't going to be for one winner—it's going to all five of them as a new supergroup! Everly and Vinny's musical dreams are now tied to this band—and to their other groupmates. Will they manage to find a way to come together before their big first concert, or will their differences rip them apart and leave them as one-hit wonders? The choices are yours to make!
With alternating chapters featuring the point-of-views of Everly and Vinny, readers move forward through the plot by making a combination of character-focused and plot-focused decisions. These choices will offer different possible regular and romantic endings, encouraging readers to go back and reread. The story also incorporates the characters' different genres of music and musician styles (singer-songwriter/pop diva queen) in unique ways to shape the available choices.
So You Wanna Be A Pop Star? puts a playful emphasis on personal interpretations, offering readers an opportunity to build their own song-list or discover what kind of musician they might be in this universe based on their choices.
