Now I've read all the four big books by Alice Oseman and this one is absolutly my favorite one out of them.
In this book we get to follow Angel who is a big fan of the most popular boyband at the time: "The Arc". She is truly one of my favorite character in this book, along with the whole band. Angel feels like a real person with what she say and do. I can totally see us as friends.
The part I really enjoyed with this book, was that we also get to follow Jimmy who is one of the members in "The Arc". He struggles with allot of anxiety both personally, but also from being in the band. To follow his bandmates thinking and doing was a big highlight of this book.
I really felt like Angel allot of time while listening to the audiobook. I think we have allot of similarities, example of that being to have dedicated allot (if not all) of my teenage years to fan-girling over different bands (and fictional characters). Listening to allot of things that she and her friends talked about was something that brought back memories.
I loved to see the differences of the same thing from the two perspectives. That is truly what I liked the most about this book. Some dual p.o.v. can be messy, and hard to understand, but Oseman know how and when to switch and what to keep and what to not. So to live thru Angel as a fan, but also to see Jimmy's point of view as someone in the spotlight was what I loved. To be reminded of the good parts that allot of famous people experience, but most importantly all the bad things that a fan don't see.
I would like all people to read this book, I loved it (!!), but especially all the fans of bands and other real and famous people to see what can be going on behind the cameras. It's not all sunshine and rainbows and it's important to understand that.
