A review by filipacmiranda
I Was Born for This by Alice Oseman

3.5

I Was Born for This follows the lead singer of a successful boy band and a teenage girl from their fandom. While Angel Rahimi lives her dream and gets ready not only to meet her idols but to be at a live concert, Jimmy Kaga-Ricci and the rest of The Ark deal with the consequences of fame: speculations made by their fans. 

When I started reading Alice Oseman’s third book, I was afraid the story would become like the ones we find in fanfiction. Despite the slightly unrealistic way the events unfold, that didn’t happen. Overall, I found myself thinking it focused on the characters and their personal development while addressing relevant matters regarding the relationship between artists and fans.
