It was a good book but not really my taste in book. I finished it in the hope it got better. It didn’t. It felt all over the place and unrealistic. I loveless so I had high hopes for this book.

Both Angel and Jimmy have their problems. They are great protagonists. They have their doubt, they strength, their flaws. They are human. Well all the characters in this book are really human. You can’t hate them. I’m really glad I started Oseman’s novels with this one.
I loved the relationships between everyone and the way toxic fan culture is described.
Anyway it’s a 5/5 stars.

My one drawback is that obviously the fandom is focused around band and so there are lots of discussions of shipping real people and rpf which I find a little uncomfortable. But the book explores that phenomenon and how it affects the real people involved so its not like it condones it or anything but it's definitely mentioned a lot.
Overall, such an incredible book. 10/10

Alice Oseman never disappoints, honestly. Their books have this...charisma that makes me want to die out of happiness. The characters are amazing and the plot was very unique and interesting. I love the take on 'fandom culture' and how we treat celebrities. The mental health portrayal was well done and THE FRIENDSHIPS!! I love the friendships in Alice's books the most.
Man, I so wish The Ark were real. I wanna listen to their songs now😭
P.S. No one fucking come near Jimmy or I'll take out the knife🔪
