I Was Born for This by Alice Oseman
I Was Born for This by Alice Oseman 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 – now a major Netflix series. For Angel Rahimi life is about one thing: The Ark – a pop-rock trio of teenage boys who are taking the world by storm. Being part of The Ark’s fandom has given her everything she loves – her friend Juliet, her dreams, her place in the world. Jimmy Kaga-Ricci owes everything to The Ark. He’s their frontman – and playing in a band with his mates is all he ever dreamed of doing. But dreams don’t always turn out the way you think and when Jimmy and Angel are unexpectedly thrust together, they find out how strange and surprising facing up to reality can be. A funny, wise, and heartbreakingly true coming of age novel. I Was Born for This is a stunning reflection of modern teenage life, and the power of believing in something – especially yourself.

Rated as a best seller. I gave it to my friend who is in her 40’s. Her daughter had read it. It’s actually for pre-teens.

It was interesting read. I think the ending could be improved, I wanted more after reading.
The story line was really interesting and there was never a moment that I felt bored throughout reading this. The characters and relationships are well thought out and their development is easy to follow.
