Synopsis
Amaya Stein did not come to K-pop willingly. She came because her editor sent her to cover MYNX, one of the biggest acts on the planet, with a tight deadline and very little sympathy. The woman who assigned it is also her aunt, which is a separate problem.
Amaya is a serious journalist. She has opinions about narrative structure. She does not have opinions about fan chants. This will not last.
What she doesn't see coming: that the music will actually move her. That she will develop a parasocial relationship with a light stick. That the late-night messages she keeps trading on Echo belong to Noah, MYNX's main vocalist, Korean American, the one who writes the songs that have been stuck in her head for three weeks. He is funny. He is honest. He pays attention to everything she says. None of this was in the assignment.
She also hadn't planned to invite him into her kitchen in Manayunk and cook dinner like two people who have been doing it for years.
She is twenty-eight. She has a novel she is not writing, a biopsy scheduled for next week, and no room left over for falling for a man twenty thousand people scream for by name. And yet.
A Star Keeps Its Distance is a love story about music, belonging, and what happens when a woman who has perfected the art of holding her feelings at arm's length meets someone who makes it impossible. Set between Philadelphia and Seoul. Featuring excellent food, a devoted fandom, and two people who take a very long time to say the obvious thing.
For readers of Beach Read, The Kiss Quotient, and People We Meet on Vacation, and for anyone who has ever said "I don't even like K-pop" and then lost four hours to a fan forum at midnight.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Amaya Stein did not come to K-pop willingly. She came because her editor - who is also her aunt, which is its own problem - sent her to cover MYNX, one of the biggest acts in the world, with a deadline and very little sympathy. Amaya is a serious journalist. She has opinions about narrative structure. She does not have opinions about fan chants. She will, by the end of this. What she does not expect: to find herself genuinely moved by the music. To develop a parasocial relationship with a light stick. To start exchanging late-night messages on Echo with someone who turns out to be Noah - Korean American, main vocalist, the one who writes all the songs she has had stuck in her head for three weeks - who is, against all reasonable expectation, funny and honest and paying very close attention to everything she says. She also did not expect to invite him into her kitchen in Manayunk and cook dinner with him like two people who do this all the time. She is twenty-eight. She has a novel she is not writing and a biopsy scheduled for next week and approximately zero emotional bandwidth for falling for someone whose job involves twenty thousand people screaming his name. And yet. A Star Keeps Its Distance is a love story about music and belonging and what happens when a woman who is very good at keeping her feelings at arm's length meets someone who makes that genuinely difficult. Set between Philadelphia and Seoul. Features excellent food, a devoted fandom, and two people who take a very long time to say the obvious thing. For readers of Beach Read, The Kiss Quotient, and People We Meet on Vacation - and anyone who has said "I don't even like K-pop" and then spent four hours on a fan forum at midnight.
