5.0

My first Alice Oseman’s novel. I loved it. Okay at first I cringed. Because I was like Angel. Not with a band (it was Supernatural and it’s cast for me). And looking back I’m like « how could I be like that ». But yeah I lived for this fandom, it was something as big as the Ark for Angel. But I grew up. Just like Angel did. And that’s what I really love about this book. The characters and their evolution. 

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.
