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

Cute and interesting YA story that features a member of a boy band and a mega-fan of said band and the unexpected ways that their lives collide. I thought mental-health and LGBTQIA+ issues were dealt with well in this book. Not my favorite of Oseman’s books, but definitely a good, quick read.
