Very interesting book analysing fandom and the internet, but I think I would've enjoyed it more if it wasn't so much about One Direction. They're definitely a good case study for the subject, and the author being a fan of them adds more depth to her analysis, but there are so many other fandoms that would've been just as interesting to explore. Fandoms like Swifties and the BTS Army were only briefly analysed/mentioned when they could've opened up other conversations for the book to have. All of this is to say that I think you have to be a 1D fan to get the most out of this book, but it's definitely still a great read even if you're only familiar with them.
