The story of a band and a fangirl. 

This book provides a lot of really fascinating insights on anxiety, fandoms, fame, family, and friendship. It's a really touching and emotional story. The ending is so heartbreakingly beautiful. The diversity is so cool to read, and it also has characters of different religions, which I haven't actually read before done so graciously. 

However, despite all the good things in this book, it also has a lot of pacing issues. It goes very slowly, and it's a little hard to find a plot due to the scattered events of the book. I also thought the climax was midway through the book, but then the book just keeps continuing beyond it. The plot was just unfortunately muddled, which somewhat ruined the excellent characters. (Bliss is an actual gem)

PG-13 For some heavy topics like depression and anxiety, alcoholism, and suicidal thoughts
