However, the joys of this book are partly overshadowed by the characters. This is particularly true in Angel's case, where she acts selfishly throught the entire book only to be cast as almost a hero by the end.

This book is not emotionally light. There is a lot of mention of mental health issues as well as the consequences of having obsessive fans.thatreadinggal11's review against another edition

I related to both of the main characters in the book. Angel through her parents constantly worrying and her trying to find her own way in the world. And Jimmy with his anxious thoughts and panic attacks. It felt like they understood me in a way that people never really have before and I understood them.
The premise of the book is very interesting with one POV from a member of a band and the other from a fan of the band. I don't know much about the behind the scenes of bands but it seemed to cover that well. This book was a lot about relationships and how keeping things from each other affects the relationship with that person.
I wouldn't say it was an easy read with Jimmy's panic attacks sometimes causing me to feel panicky too but I did enjoy this book.
