a good depiction of parasocial relationships between fans and artists and how things aren't always how they seem on the outside!!!

as are all of Alice Oseman’s books this was a very easy read, the short chapters are just *chefs kiss*. the characters were also very likeable and diverse which is always rly nice to see. bonus points for having a trans character, multiple lgbt characters and a hijabi Muslim! such a diverse cast is so rare in books these days i feel.
to be honest i found myself not being able to really really get into it because the band and fandom theme wasn’t really my thing but it was still good nonetheless.

Same as last time!
Still get anxious reading the ending
Also Juliet is still annoying to me I’ll never truly like her

Definitely an easy read but one that makes you want to know what happens next. One of the big things that I didn't like about this book was how insufferable Angel was at times. She was acting so immature and she definitely had good growth, but I wanted to see more of that. The people around her were teaching her lessons that a lot of young teenagers need to learn, but it took a little too long for the audience to see real change that she took because of it. Also the plot twist within the last 30 pages, was just unnecessary. I believe that the same point could have been made clearer by the boys having a conversation. What happened just seemed like an easy way to end the book and I would have loved to see them all be challenging by a hard, real conversation. This book also really made me reevaluate how the general public views celebrities and other par-asocial relationships. Overall, definitely a good book that I feel a lot of teenagers and young 20 somethings can relate to.
