emotional funny hopeful

Den här boken var inte det jag förväntade mig men jag är glad att den inte var det. Otroligt underhållande, dramatisk och känslosam. 

Boken har två POVs, det första är Angel. Angel är en fangirl och hon lever för the Ark. Det andra POVet är Jimmy, en av de tre medlemmar i the Ark. 

När Jimmy och Angel plötsligt mötts inser de att allt kanske inte är som det verkar och att verkligheten skiljer sig från tankar och drömmar. 

Det här är en otrolig "coming of age" bok som bjuder på skratt, visdom och tårar. Oerhört relaterbara karaktärer och bra representation. 100% läsvärd!!

this might be one of the best books i’ve ever read? the themes of anxiety and fandom culture and the price of fame was just so interesting to read in alice’s writing style !! i honestly think i would read anything they write at this point.

I was born for this af Alice Oseman er en bog jeg vil anbefale til alle fans af hvad som helst, og også alle andre faktisk. Jeg har hørt lydbogen to gange nu og den kan varmt anbefales, selvom bogen nok er lige så god i skriftlig form.

This book absolutely blew me away. It was nothing like what I expected, which was refreshing. I’ve never been horribly interested into fame/celebrity storylines but Alice crafted this so incredibly beautifully that I couldn’t not enjoy every minute. It has a slow start that snowballs into some breathtaking twists. 
I found this book to be so important because of the representation. Angel is a hijabi Muslim and Jimmy is not only a famous singer but is also a Transgender Christian. Reading through the perspective of these two characters came to be quite insightful. Everyone felt 3-dimensional and had real and relevant struggles. 
Overall, I learned a lot while reading this book in addition to enjoying the hell out of it!

This book is near perfect. Definitely a must read if you had/have an obsession with a (boy) band. This books talks about what happens when artists and fans meet and how fucked up fan culture can be sometimes. Will make you think
