SYNOPSIS:
❝I always wondered how normal people became friends with superstars. Then I found out for myself.❞
It's all about who you know. And thanks to having a best friend in the fashion industry, Zora finds herself partying with Four Thrones, the world's latest and greatest boy band sensation. But when one of the charismatic members with a devilishly handsome smile starts to pay her a bit too much attention, Zora is thrown into a world she's not so sure she's ready for.
REVIEW:
Let's all be honest and lay it all down; every single one of us has an inexplicable obsession with boy bands, whether they are from Western Pop, K-pop, J-pop or whatever else pop exists these days. We've all daydreamed about coincidentally bumping into a pop sensation, falling in love, getting married, having kids-- which is exactly why those fanfictions were written with such detailed fantasy. Right?
Well, Boys in Bands is a detailed reality check.
This book is diverse in its characters, honest with emotions and absolutely swoon-worthy in its bittersweet romance. It weaves a sensible love story between a levelheaded woman and man who wanted to be himself despite the pressures of his stardom. It portrays the sickening reality of overzealous fans too entitled to the lives of their beloved idols.
We forget that boys in bands are humans too, and this story brings about a perspective that us fans tend to neglect.
Sing along and fall in love with the main characters falling in love.
P.S. For all those fellow Shawols out there, stay strong.🌹
