Kill the Boy Band by Goldy Moldavsky

4.0

Twin Peaks meets Heathers meets One Direction? This book is very dramatic and wild from start to finish and will probably go over one's head if they're ages 30+, and I loved every second of it. Some moments were genuinely surprising, while still completely fitting, matching the tone and grandeur of the plot and what the title eludes to. There's still the classic YA trope of an estranged dead parent never mentioned specifically or amounting much to too much relevance, but all of the main characters are memorable enough for their own little quirks. Now I'm just waiting for a movie adaptation that I'll probably see at least 10 times. On another note, this book does open discussion on social commentary on girls in fandoms, and I think it discusses it enough in a very well executed, cumulative, accessible, & subtle way, transitioning nicely and never feeling forced on a topic that should be given more critical thought.
