Come for the cute romance and stay for the scathing look into the dark side of the music industry. I don’t think any part of me expected to feel as much as I did while reading this book. Between seeing myself in Zach’s queer awakening, and also resonating with Ruben’s incredibly complicated relationship with his mother, this book really hit home for me. And that’s all unrelated to what this book has to say about artist management and fandom perception. This books feels incredibly relevant right now, as we learn more everyday about how a lot of artists have been turned into commodities by their management teams. Comparisons can be drawn to one specific boy band, obviously, but this book is much larger than that.
