I Was Born for This by Alice Oseman
3.0

20/04/2019
3 ⭐ (3.5?? 3.75???)
Honestly, I'm tired and I'm not really sure what to say about this. I finished this a couple of hours ago and while I did really enjoy I Was Born For This for the most part, I'm not left with this overarching love for everything Alice Oseman, which I'm not gonna lie, I was kind of expecting. I really enjoyed the first 200ish (roughly half) pages of this but, the rest was a bit of a miss for me. I think, honestly, that band settings and stories just don't do it for me. After seeing so many of these stories lately like A Star is Born and then Daisy Jones & The Six, I think music just isn't a genre I really care about exploring more than within my headphones.
