Book Review - Kill the Boy Band

From the cover blurb of Kill the Boy Band:  Just know from the start that it wasn’t supposed to go like this. All we wanted was to get near them. That’s why we got a room at the hotel where they were staying.
We were not planning to kidnap one of them. Especially not the most useless one. But we had him – his room key, his cell phone, and his secrets.
We were not planning on what happened next.
We swear.

Goldy Moldavsky captures fandom, cynical teen girls, snarky texts, and the crazy world that is celebrity. This is a quick hilarious book about girls and power – whether used for good or evil or confusion. The power of the internet, tweets, and plain face to face glares. Who knew you could have a boy band created solely because the boys’ names were Rupert? And what length will girls go to meet their fave?  And how long does loyalty last – whether to a boy band idol or to teen friendship?


Kill the Boy Band is a rush to read with spot on dialogue and many twists and turns in just one day. Turn off your phone and turn the pages

  1. I would probably enjoy this book a lot since I was so crazed for all the bands I loved when I was a teen. Except they weren't boy bands in those days!
