I Was Born for This by Alice Oseman
4.0

well that was just so gosh darn cute!!

I do think it looked at the way fandom can turn toxic in a really interesting way - having conflicting perspectives was a unique way of exploring the impact and cause and effect of fan culture.

Although this book did tackle some strong topics, and really embraced a diverse, realistic cast, it held onto that easy ebb and flow of a YA contemporary. A quick, but enjoyable read - I think Oseman does a great job of balancing heavy topics with the lightness you want from a contemporary.
