Angel is Muslim, an aspect to this book I wasn’t expecting. There were a few things in the book that I feel were done outstandingly (admittedly that I wasn’t expecting). I feel as though I could rave about I Was Born for This forever, but I will try to keep the praise to a minimum and this review as short as possible. Unknown to Angel, she makes more friends than she expects and has a very different experience with The Ark than she ever imagined. Angel finally gets chance to see the band live when she meets up with her online friend of two years, Juliet. Girls scream over them, adore them and throw themselves at the boys, imagine early years One Direction, that kind of fame. The band is made up of three boys, all lovable, all incredibly diverse, all young and all attractive. She’s in the summer between college and university and lives for the band The Ark. If you’re unaware, the story follows Angel (if you don’t want to know anything about the plot, stop reading now). 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. I’ve heard countless incredible things about this story, and I found not knowing anything about this story going in to it was the best thing to do. I Was Born for This is my first novel by Alice Oseman that I’ve read, and I absolutely adored it.
