I love how Alice Oseman really understands the culture of fandom (probably because she has participated in and been the subject of it) and how teenagers behave, all of which really shines here. I was obsessed with the characters and related so hard with what both Angel and Jimmy were going through (even though I’m not a worldwide celebrity), and I was really touched. Also I didn’t feel like there were any explicit references to a specific boy band, even though they did remind me a little of One Direction.
It’s like If This Gets Out by Cale Dietrich and Sophie Gonzales but focused more on the fans, which I think is both more realistic and more relatable to most readers of this book.
