Oh how I laughed at this book.

Goldy Moldavsky's debut novel Kill the Boy Band is hilarious. It is a novel about fandom and about the crazy lengths people will go to meet their idols. I've been there. For me, it was Busted. I get these characters.

The genius of this book lays with its main character - an unnamed narrator who opts to call herself various names throughout the book - her quips, witty one liners (god rest his soul) and 80s movie references were genius and made this book such a brilliant read. It made me feel nostalgic for a time when it was okay for your world to be consumed by a band.

I flippin' loved this story.

Kill the Boy Band by Goldy Moldavsky is available now.

This was such a fun little fluffy book with a twist. Highly recommend for a fast-paced, silly beach read.

This was definitely a fun book! I don't read too many books that focus on music and bands, but this was definitely a nice change!

Thank you to netgalley and Pan MacMillan for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This has to be one of the weirdest books I have ever read. 4 girls kidnap their least favourite member of their favourite band hoping to get something out of it but it all spirals so wildly out of control.

Honestly, I didn't know whether to find this book hilarious or ridiculous. I'm a big fan of One Direction and at times this felt really degrading, but I could see the black humour of it. But even though there was times I felt this was a bit sexist there was also times where it shows how important fans are for a band and how female fans can either make or break your career. It's been a couple of month's since I read this book (I have a ridiculous review backlog because I read too fast) and I still don't know how I feel about it.

This was really entertaining, I couldn't put it down, but that's because it was absolutely insane. Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse they did.

I think this is supposed to be completely awful and horrendous to show how teenage girls are treated for loving a band so whole heartedly. It's supposed to make the reader think about their past actions, but at times it just felt completely off the mark. There was some really offensive things at times that I feel were supposed to be satirical but to me didn't read that way. However often parts of this novel defends the rights of teenage girls to love who they want to love so long as it makes them happy.

A very weird book.

I was so disappointed with this book! Although I wasn't expecting to be mind-blown by the writing or plot, this sounded like a fun take on the classic boy band trope. Instead, I got a book that seemed to mock a whole generation of girls and twist their obsession into something that I just didn't find funny. I've never really been a fangirl, but if I was I think I'd be hurt by this portrayal. Maybe this just wasn't my type of humour but I'm sad that I didn't enjoy this book.
