Review

In this darkly humorous book is the tale of four teenage girls wrapped up in the world of Fandom. Their object of obsession is the boy band The Ruperts, a product of British reality TV. What transpires is the reality of obsessions gone too far, continuous self-doubt, revenge and atonement in an odd but interesting story. All and at times none of the girls are sure of the trouble they have gotten themselves into -- starting with the accidental kidnapping of one the band members and all that follows.

Fans of fan-fiction, fantasy worlds, boy band fandoms will gravitate to this book quickly. Recommended for grades 7 and up.

Overall Book Score: excellent
