Everything I Need I Get from You: How Fangirls Created the Internet as We Know It by Kaitlyn Tiffany
3.0
what i find most strange about this boom is this quote “This is not actually a book about One Direction, for a couple of reasons: I don’t think they’d appreciate it, and, as much as I love them, they are not so interesting. (They are boys, and we are the same age.)”, which is fair. However, it’s totally incorrect. It is a book about One Direction, all the way through. Only few paragraphs are about other fandoms (such as the Beatles, Bruce Springsteen & BTS).
If you are not a fan of One Direction, you will probably dislike this book. It’s completely about One Direction & the fandom. Whether the writer admits it or not.
I did enjoy most of it. The nostalgia ran deep.
I do think claims of Liam’s homophobia are more substantial than just the Girl Almighty situation, there was the duck dynasty, both ways & his open hostility to rainbow direction (which is more than just larry. yes larry is analysed at length in this too)
disclaimer: i have been a stan of 1D for over a decade. idk how many nights i lost sleep over those boys
