Description

My band weren’t seen as particularly cool and were often mocked for what others perceived as fake rock but by god – nearly 15 years on since that band broke up I can still remember those feelings. All these biracial and LGBTQIAP+ representation fills my heart with so much joy and not to forget the fact that Alice thanked a lot of people from biracial and trans background who helped her giving a clear presentation for her book. The only thing that is left to be said is that I am desperate to know what The Ark actually sounds like.

I really appreciate how this book showcased just how much anxiety can irrationally prevent you from doing things, no matter how simple and easy they seem, how terrified it makes you of things for reasons that might not even make sense to you, how much it can bring you down paths of low self-esteem and harmful thinking and how much it can hinder your relationships and completely stunt your life. Now I have officially booked Lister as my guy bestfriend because every minute I will spent with him I know I will never fail to laugh ! Featuring a vibrant rainbow design, and our super-sized Q logo, you won't find a more stylish way to make a statement. The book follows up a story of a teen, hijabi Muslim girl Angel who is like a huge fan of this teen boy band 'The Arc' and she is visiting her online friend Julie for first time so they can attend this concert of The Arc .Frances is on the path to Cambridge, even though she's not quite sure why she's so determined to get there. Mac is so annoying, and is clearly written to be annoying, and he still reads as fairly real, which is something to pull off.

The third novel by Alice Oseman, the author of the 2021 YA Book Prize winning Loveless, Solitaire and graphic novel series Heartstopper – now a major Netflix series.But I can’t tell you how much I Was Born For This has given me a fuller understanding and appreciation of the complexities of what being a fan means. Oseman makes clear that when boy band members sing their ballads and look directly into the camera, you can imagine they’re looking at you; when they share a joke with a band member on a YouTube video you’re watching, you can imagine you’re there in the room with them, in on the joke and laughing along with them.

Perhaps the reason I didn’t like this book quite as much is because it very much reads as a slice-of-life; while all the characters grow and change in ways both large and small, they don’t necessarily get satisfying conclusions. The third novel by the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman, the author of the 2021 YA Book Prize winning Loveless, Solitaire and graphic novel series Heartstopper – soon to be a major Netflix series.Right now I am anything but calm plus I have been crying for an hour thinking about this book, "my boys" and everything I have put my heart in for them!

This is my spoilery spoiler warning and if you haven’t read the book yet, I’d recommend to turn around and to head in the other direction. I was surprised about how much I loved it, how much it lifted me from a reading slump and how happy i felt reading it. Angel did a great job considering the circumstances and I really loved her for helping Jimmy the way she did.

There were mention of prayer, the occasional mention of clothes but you just imagined her as a regular teenage girl who loved a band, which is what she was. From the start I felt connected to each and every character that was introduced and really enjoyed reading about every single one of them. I loved the fact that every character felt human and three dimensional, and the relationships are all so complex. I mean there happens a lot that’s off screen and we never get to see it but if they really feel like they’re a fraud that would make me kind of sad. This is identical to the Sumthing Else release of the CD, despite the timing corresponding to the HD remaster release of JOURNEY on PS4.
