Kill the Boy Band by Goldy Moldavsky
Synopsis:
From debut author Goldy Moldavsky, the story of four superfan friends whose devotion to their favorite boy band has darkly comical and murderous results.Okay, so just know from the start that it wasn't supposed to go like this. All we wanted was to get near The Ruperts, our favorite boy band.We didn't mean to kidnap one of the guys. It kind of, sort of happened that way.
But now he's tied up in our hotel room. And the worst part of all, it's Rupert P. All four members of The Ruperts might have the same first name, but they couldn't be more different. And Rupert P. is the biggest flop out of the whole group.We didn't mean to hold hostage a member of The Ruperts, I swear. At least, I didn't. We are fans.
Okay, superfans who spend all of our free time tweeting about the boys and updating our fan tumblrs. But so what, that's what you do when you love a group so much it hurts.How did it get this far? Who knows. I mean midterms are coming up. I really do not have time to go to hell.
Reading this book was a personal mission of mine, obtaining a review copy I wanted to read the book fast to post a review for my blog. Luckily the book, not being of my normal choice of reading material; was an easy and entertaining read. I don’t tend to want to read about boybands or fangirls, even not very often comedy. Although this particular book does not feed the classic genres, this book has its own creative flow that keeps you wanting more. Our main character brings almost an innocent perspective to the madness of fangirls.
Erin made for an interesting type of fangirl who had been abused, used, humiliated by her beloved boyband; thus turning fangirl rouge. Isabel was interesting in a different form being more devoted to her work than actual fandom. Isabel will make a wonderful reporter! Apple shows another form of a boyband fangirl or blind devotion and admiration. With each new trail the girls faced only escalated the level of intensity and humor.
When our main character is questioning her sanity I was completely there with her question the reality of the situation, I did not for see the true criminal within the mess of a band meetup coming. I flew through this read and enjoyed the ride so I give the book a four out of five rating!
