I read an advanced reader's copy because I work at a book store so that happens sometimes...
I've been so excited to read this book ever since I first heard it was going to be a thing. I loved the quirky-ness of the synopsis and of course the fact that it was about fangirls. As a pretty big 1D fangirl myself, I could totally relate to some of the things that the main character was describing about being a part of a fandom: the fansites, the fanfiction, the twitter accounts, etc. And of course the question as to WHY FANGIRLS CARE SO MUCH. I also really enjoyed - as a 19 year-old - seeing/reading about the real things that are the boys girls fangirl about. Like a tattoo being nothing more than something fun or weird; nothing deep at all like fans might speculate. I think something young-teens forget is that the boybands they love are not fictional characters- they're actual people.
I have to say, the ending really surprised me and pulled the rating from a 3 to a 4 star novel. At first, I just found myself connecting to the fangirl-ness (minus the kidnapping), but then it touched a lot of other things, like mental health and friendship.
If you're unsure about whether you're going to pick this up on February 23rd, I say bite the bullet and read it!
