I Was Born for This by Alice Oseman
2.0
Everyone in this book needs cookies. First, I could not stand Cormac. He was kind of like a blob of tomato sauce on a perfectly good shirt. Just always there and always annoying.
I really loved the Joan of Arc quotes and how multiple religions were observed and treated as valid. Even though characters didn't have exactly the same beliefs, they respected each other and discussed theological ideas. That just made me happy. :D
One of the biggest issues for me:
Why did Juliet, Mac, and Angel agree to stay in the same house if they'd never seen each other in person before? That seemed a little dangerous and I would NOT do that if I were them. Also, why did Juliet invite Mac to stay without warning Angel first?? RED FLAG RED FLAG
I loved Jimmy. He was giving Charlie.
I did like how this book was clear about the negative impacts of fame. Overall, Bliss, Piero, and Cecily were my favorite characters. It was a pretty good read, I just felt like yelling at one of the main characters almost the whole time. Juliet is clearly dealing with something and Angel just thinks it's because of A BAND? Angel has like ZERO emotional intelligence/interpersonal skills! Like, some people have other things going on in their lives, Fereshteh! She just made me mad. But she did eventually apologize and realize her life is kinda dull.

I hated how TWO PEOPLE LITERALLY KISSED HIM WITHOUT ASKING LIKE CONSENT PEOPLEI did like how this book was clear about the negative impacts of fame.
