Angel’s whole world revolves around her love for the boy band Ark, so her and her internet bestie make plans to meet for the first time in real life to go to the Ark concert. Jimmy is a member of Ark and is having a lot of difficulties with the stress and anxiety of being in one of the biggest band in the world. This book follows each character as they go throughout the week learning a lot about themselves, what they prioritize in life and their friendships. I really love the diversity of this book and that the main characters are very religious but not in a problematic or traumatic way, they just find peace and happiness in their God.

as are all of Alice Oseman’s books this was a very easy read, the short chapters are just *chefs kiss*. the characters were also very likeable and diverse which is always rly nice to see. bonus points for having a trans character, multiple lgbt characters and a hijabi Muslim! such a diverse cast is so rare in books these days i feel.

to be honest i found myself not being able to really really get into it because the band and fandom theme wasn’t really my thing but it was still good nonetheless.

Interesting concept, I related a lot as a former (vaguely current) fangirl. I really apprec ated the diverse representation and appreciated that those aspects were not tokenized. However the story itself got much darker than I thought and I was not really prepared for that based on the description. The ending wrapped up much too quickly and would have loved a little more time with the characters, but I like that the author left a hopeful possible future for the main characters.

I was worried about this book when I learned it was about the relationship between a large band and their fandom, but I think it was handled relatively well. I thought the characters were well thought out and developed. I do think the book felt a bit rushed at times, but it is a YA book so that’s partially expected
