3.0

Cute and interesting YA story that features a member of a boy band and a mega-fan of said band and the unexpected ways that their lives collide. I thought mental-health and LGBTQIA+ issues were dealt with well in this book. Not my favorite of Oseman’s books, but definitely a good, quick read.

This was a well-written, emotional, and overall AMAZING book. I learned a lot from the topics and themes, and apart from it being an enriching, irresistible story, it brought light to so many things I'm glad I can think about now. Excellent read, definitely recommend!

Eu amo o universo Alice Oseman, mas este livro foi o que menos me impactou, mas não significa que é uma leitura ruim, pelo contrário, abordou (como sempre) temas bem sensíveis, como as crises de ansiedade e pânico, além de lidar com a saída da adolescência pra vida adulta, os dilemas, inseguranças, tudo mais, com maestria, sempre com proximidade e intimidade típicas da escrita de Alice. Adorei também a parte de ser fã, já que tenho amigas profissionais nesse quesito, nunca é tarde pra se jogar, ser o que se é, mostrar que é muito além do que muitos julgam. Recomendo sempre, como todos os outros livros.
