For everyone who found comfort, laughter, and warmth within the pages of This Place is Magic, this collection offers a chance to step beyond that orange door and stay a little longer.

Through eight interconnected stories, each told from the perspective of a different character, spend more time with Eunjae, Jiyeon, and the members of Apollo while they face the choices they’ve made and the future that awaits them. Hear all the gossip. Spy on the group chat. Lounge by the pool with some K-pop idols hiding from the public eye. In every story, discover what happened over the course of a summer filled with new experiences and shifting relationships.

A continuing exploration of brotherhood, family, and fame, This Song is Ours expands a beloved world while also serving as a bridge to the duology’s forthcoming conclusion. Award-winning author Irene Te returns with the humor and heart that captivated readers of her debut novel, inviting them to linger in the cozy booths at Wanna Waffle, stroll along sun-soaked suburban streets, and shout from the balconies of grand seaside hotels. Enjoy a front row seat as loyalties are tested, love endures… and one impulsive revenge plot changes everything.
