I thought the premise for Kill The Boy Band was really interesting and this is a book I'd been trying to get my hands on for a little while now. While this was supposed to be a humorous story, I just couldn't find the fun and humor in it. Outside of the main character -- did we even get a real name for her? I'll just call her G for now -- I thought the other girls were really crude and took the whole kidnapping way too far. G should have stepped up and stopped them before things got too crazy. I know there was (view spoiler)[ technically a plan all along put into motion by two of her friends, but they really didn't need to do this. When they knocked out Rupert P it was a complete accident, they could've just apologized and, oh, I don't know, not tied him up to begin with? (hide spoiler)] I still like the idea for the story, but I think it could've been written in a way that was more goofy because it just felt too serious to me and there was no balance between the moments that were supposed to be funny and the more serious moments about G's identity and her dad. Then there was the whole part with G's best friend (view spoiler)[being taken advantage of by the Ruperts at a concert (hide spoiler)], which should've been more impactful, but it felt disconnected. That was also how I felt about the final reveal of (view spoiler)[who killed Rupert P (hide spoiler)]. That should've been more shocking, and it was surprising I guess, but didn't give the reaction it should have. I'm also not sure how I feel about the representation of fangirls. I think some aspects apply to some people, but overall they just made it seem like fangirls are super crazy and are actually hated, being made fun of, and taken advantage of by whatever or whoever it is they fan over, in this case by The Ruperts.
