I Was Born for This by Alice Oseman
4.0
4.5
i read this book in line at the covid vaccination clinic and BOY am i glad i picked smth exciting and fast paced cause i was waiting outside in the cold for 2 HOURS and i think i wouldve straight up passed out at melbourne showgrounds if i was reading smth even slightly more boring (i was also looping exposed by dance gavin dance so i guess thats what the ark sounds like now. sidenote dance gavin dance is an example of such a weird band concept like. its been around so long that none of the original members r even in the band anymore, but its somehow still the same band. like it became a separate entity from the members and just continues w/o them) (unfortunately (well. fortunately for the covid line situation) i am currently hyperfixating on bands/music/being in a band (my friend said i could join their band if i got better at guitar ....to reap the rewards of being a part of smth fun i must face the mortifying ordeal of learning an instrument i GUESS))
hm yes thoughts on the book:
v exciting to read. characters were gr8. has the classic osemanverse ~drama~ and over-the-top-ness. ms oseman really went off with the ark on stage vs the flood of fans
so i was vaguely commenting on the story to my sis while reading and near the end i was like *GASP*. MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH??? and not even 2 seconds later she's like 'oh? the alcoholic?' OK SHERLOCK HOW DID U DEDUCE THIS FROM THE SCRAPS OF INFO IVE GIVEN U. the last comment i made was when the bathroom knife scene happened. shes kind of a genius huh.
