I was born for this / Alice Oseman.

For Angel Ahmadi, life is only about one thing: The Ark a pop-rock trio of teenage boys who are currently taking the world by storm. Being part of The Ark's fandom has given her everything her friendships, her dreams, her place in the world. Jimmy Kaga-Ricci owes everything to The Ark too. He's their frontman and playing in a band is all he's ever dreamed of doing. It's just a shame that recently everything in his life seems to have turned into a bit of a nightmare. Because that's the problem with dreaming eventually, inevitably, real life arrives with a wake-up call. And when Angel and Jimmy are unexpectedly thrust together, they will discover just how strange and surprising facing up to reality can be. A funny, wise and heartbreakingly true coming-of-age novel, The Ark is a stunning reflection of modern teenage life, and the power of believing in something especially yourself.
