emotional funny hopeful

4.25

Den här boken var inte det jag förväntade mig men jag är glad att den inte var det. Otroligt underhållande, dramatisk och känslosam. 

Boken har två POVs, det första är Angel. Angel är en fangirl och hon lever för the Ark. Det andra POVet är Jimmy, en av de tre medlemmar i the Ark. 

När Jimmy och Angel plötsligt mötts inser de att allt kanske inte är som det verkar och att verkligheten skiljer sig från tankar och drömmar. 

Det här är en otrolig "coming of age" bok som bjuder på skratt, visdom och tårar. Oerhört relaterbara karaktärer och bra representation. 100% läsvärd!!

I was born for this af Alice Oseman er en bog jeg vil anbefale til alle fans af hvad som helst, og også alle andre faktisk. Jeg har hørt lydbogen to gange nu og den kan varmt anbefales, selvom bogen nok er lige så god i skriftlig form.

OH MY GOD. This was absolutely incredible!!
✯Representation:
Transgender (FTM) and gay main character
Bisexual side characters
Hijabi Muslim main character
Biracial (Indian and Italian) main character
Black side character

Alice Oseman never disappoints, honestly. Their books have this...charisma that makes me want to die out of happiness. The characters are amazing and the plot was very unique and interesting. I love the take on 'fandom culture' and how we treat celebrities. The mental health portrayal was well done and THE FRIENDSHIPS!! I love the friendships in Alice's books the most.
Man, I so wish The Ark were real. I wanna listen to their songs now😭

P.S. No one fucking come near Jimmy or I'll take out the knife🔪

horrible parents

parents kicking out child , assault, harassement, violation of personal boundaries, one slightly inappropriate reaction to someone having a panick attack (out of ignorance)
