Großartiges Buch, als jemand der selbst seit 10 Jahren K-Pop Fan ist und viele Verhaltensweisen der Fankultur die exakt selben sind wie im J-Pop ist es wirklich ein Flashback zu meinem 14-Jährigen Ich. Akaris Handlungen und Gefühle sind unglaublich eingängig geschildert und sicherlich auch für Menschen gut nachvollziehbar, die mit Fankultur nichts am Hut haben

Short review: I expected more. Long review: The book did stay surface-level and that's what I wished it hadn't done. there were so many interesting topics - the obsession and fandom culture, the mental illness of the main character and how the combination of the two influences her ability to live her life, her relationship with her family. unfortunately none of those things are explored more in depth in this book. we don't even get to know if and why the idol punches the fan. the writing style also wasn't for me, it switched scenes in weird moments which took me out of the story and confused me. the plot wasn't satisfying even though it had a lot of potential. The Afterword was the best part of the book for me and only because of that I'm giving it 2 stars.
