About This Book
This deeply moving young adult novel by Alice Oseman offers a dual perspective on modern teenage life, following Angel, a devoted fan of the boy band The Ark, and Jimmy, the band's frontman. Angel finds community and purpose in fandom, navigating her Muslim family's lack of understanding. Jimmy, who is trans, grapples with severe anxiety and the public's perception of his bandmates' relationships. The story explores themes of identity, belonging, mental health, and the often-unseen realities behind the glitz of fame. It's a wise and heartfelt coming-of-age story that provides significant LGBTQ+ and cultural representation.
