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 in 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.

Boy band fangirls are a species that are more focused, determined, and powerful in large numbers than just about any other group of people I can think of.

I thought this was awesome. It's the kind of book you have to be in the right mood for - a dark, sadistic sense of humour kind of mood - but it's a diverse, murderous and hilarious comedy about fangirls in the age of social media.

Kill the Boy Band has many laugh-out-loud moments that come with a side order of guilt because you know you real ...more

People have called me crazy.
It's understandable; fangirls get a bad rap all the time. They say we're weird, hysterical, obsessed, certifiable. But those people don't understand. Just because I love something a lot doesn't mean I'm crazy. And I did love The Ruperts a lot. I loved them more than soft-serve vanilla ice cream in summer, more than seeing a new review of my fanfics, more than discovering a good '80s movie I'd never seen before.

I'm not even exaggerating that because it literally was like reading a book written by 14-year-old to 17-year-old, me. Because 14-17 year old me was a hardcore One Direction fan, just like these girls were hardcore Ruperts fans.

I was holding someone captive and all that was going through my mind was a Billboard Top 40 love song. I was going to hell.

Kill the Boy Band is about a group of girls who kidnap a boy band member, and it is simultaneously one of the weirdest and best books I have ever read.

There's no way to explain the plot beyond “they kidnap a boy band member” because from there, Moldavsky adds a twist a minute. This book is a weird, action-packed journey that never loses its grip on you. Yes, it requires ...more

My copy was an ARC I got from Amazon Vine for review and also reviewed for YA Books Central.

*Apple is Chinese, Isabel is Dominican
*one of the Ruperts is gay
*Apple is a fat Chinese girl adopted by white parents as a baby

Every time I open my mouth to talk about this book, all that comes out is an awe-soaked expletive like “Fuuuuuuuuuuuck.” It’s that kind of book. I used to hate how the cover looked like a placeholder, but now that I’ve read the book, I don’t think there’s a better image. Pink to represent the femininity associated with boy band fandom (because they’re all supposed to be girls and bullshit like that) and black for the utter fucking darkness in the hearts of the four girls who end up kidnapping Rupert P, aka The Worst Rupert. You have no idea what you’re in for and that’s what makes it oh so good.

Unreliable narrators are my catnip and that’s exactly the kind of character our narrator is. Readers never learn her real name; her friends never use it and she gives names from 80s movies like Sloane Peterson and Lydia Deetz when asked–and this girl is supposed to be the sane one of the bunch. After all, Erin is the ringleader with a vengeful agenda in mind, Isabel is the enforcer who seems to be replacing our narrator as Erin’s best friend, and Apple is the girl whose money makes it possible for the girls to get so close to the Ruperts in the first place. The Ruperts more than earned Erin’s single-minded vengeance, but dear God, Erin, this is going a bit far.

Part one of the novel is all about the thrill of what happens when four boy band fans (for the Ruperts, it’s the Strepurs) get ahold of their least favorite member of the One Direction-esque band. Part two starts with a bang and will send your jaw right to the floor as things turn in more of a “mystery thriller” direction, but it’s laugh-out-loud funny even at its darkest. The madness only gets better (or worse) from then on and Kill the Boy Band becomes impossible to put down as the girls’ friendship falls apart, our narrator starts sneaking around with her favorite Rupert, and someone gets tossed off a penthouse balcony.

Making fun of the teenage girls who love Justin Bieber, One Direction, and the like is easy, but Moldavsky doesn’t do that at all. Girls love what they love for all sorts of reasons. In gorgeous prose, our narrator tells of how the music of the Ruperts helped her cope with her father’s death and connected her to Erin, her only “real” friend. Teenage girls love unlike any other group. Their kind of love is fierce and pure and terrifying and complicated. I may dislike Justin Bieber and his music, but I won’t make fun of his fans. They’ve all got their reasons and the wrath of a teenage girl scorned is one of the greatest forces on Earth. Harness that for war and you’ll be able to conquer whatever you please.

I’d also like to stop and appreciate the existence of Apple as a fat Chinese girl. Moreso than perhaps any other racial-ethnic group, Asian women are expected to be slender and those kinds of expectations can cause a incredible number of body image issues. By simply being, Apple subverts those expectations. She’s sheltered, she’s sweet, she’s complicated, she’s afraid of standing up for herself, and she is fat. These are the small but effective ways intersectionality works and makes a huge difference for readers.

HOWEVER. I want to point you to this Twitter thread for another woman's views on Apple as an instance of poor representation of fat women. As a woman who has always been skinny, I don't see her character the same way as a fat woman. Hollowell makes good points points and I'd be remiss as both a reader and a feminist not to acknowledge and think about that.

Otherwise, I can’t think of a bad thing to say. Kill the Boy Band is utter madness in the form of a novel. If that’s not your groove at a given time, don’t read it until that is your groove and be prepared to get your jaw repaired. It’ll probably get dented a little bit when it falls away from your skull and ruins other books for you for a while.

People will always make fun of girls who love boy bands. It’s an unfortunate fact. This is the book that will make anyone smart fear and respect teenage girls, what they love, and what they will do to you if you push them to their breaking point. For the love of teenage girls who love fiercely and almost scarily, read this book. ...more

There aren't a lot of books that make me go "OMG I NEED IT!" anymore, but KILL THE BOY BAND was one of them. I mean, it's such a great concept, in part because it's so relatable.

Kill The Boy Band is one of the funniest books that I've read in quite a while. I adored the author's writing style and can't wait to read more books by her in the future. I honestly don’t know where to start with this review. The characters? The plot? The twist? Everything is hysterical and amazing. I know, I know, that’s not a true review. Okay, I’ll try my best to put this incredible book into words...Here I go!

Four friends: Sloane, Erin, Apple, and Isabel. Well, friends might not be the bes

Four friends: Sloane, Erin, Apple, and Isabel. Well, friends might not be the best word to describe them...They certainly aren’t a typical group of friends. They haven’t been friends since birth, they’ve rarely ever met in person, and...well...only one thing actually pulled them together- their love of the band, The Ruperts. You heard me, a band called The Ruperts, consisting of four guys named...what else...Rupert. No, I’m not joking. This is it.

Let's be real here. We've all had our own fangirl obsession stages. Some of us have theSE stages longer than others, and hey, some of us still are Fangirls. But what would YOU do if your absolute favorite band was staying in the same hotel as you, and one of your friends accidentally knocked one of the band members unconscious? Would you call the police? Hotel management? Try to take care of him yourself? Or...kidnap him and take him to your room? Betcha didn't see that one coming. Yes, kidnapping the band member was exactly what Sloane and her friends did.

But that’s not where this story ends- oh no, far from it. That is just the beginning- the tip of the iceberg if you will. You see, hidden inside of this book is also a rooftop kiss, a crazy “beard,” a murder, and a sex scandal.

Kill the Boy Band is one of those books that you can’t stop reading, because you NEED to know what happens next. It’s also the type of book that will make you cry from laughing because it’s just that absurd. The whole book is crazy. Absolutely crazy. But that’s what makes it fantastic! Also, near the end, you learn something about Sloane that challenges everything that you previously thought was true. It is a twist that you never see coming, until it hits you like a ton of bricks.

The darkness of this book is laced with humor, and the hilarity is almost disturbing because fans like these do exist. Their love for their idols started as innocent and then it turned out to be misguided, consuming and dangerous.

Did I love them because they were the only boys in my life who consistently told me I was beautiful? Probably. I loved The Ruperts for who they were, sure, but I mostly loved them for how they made me feel. Which was happy. The Ruperts made me happy. The simplest thing to be in the world. And the hardest.

I'm quite the fangirl myself, the poor girl version that is (LOL^^) because unlike the girls here who can afford to go to concerts and get VIP passes and other things a fan girl can do to support their idols, I on the other hand can only stalk them on social media or watch their growing fame on celebrity channels, reading all articles involving them and get excited with their upcoming projects but that's about it.

You know in South Korea these crazy fan girls are called " sasaeng ", they do all the extreme things fans do such as stalking their fave boy band's private lives, chasing their cars which can lead to accidents, hacking their personal accounts and just be where their idols are, they don't care whether it's a restroom or their bedroom, they just sneak in wherever they want, some would even try to hurt themselves to prove how committed they are or it can be the other way around and that's just scary and traumatizing for celebrities.

How many celebrities died because of fans like these? John Lenon of The Beatles, Latin Songstress Selena Quintanilla-Perez, Soccer star Albert Ebossé and the most recent is Youtube Star Christina Grimmie. These are just to name a few known celebrities who were killed by their fan's obsession.

So, this is a story about four fangirls, our narrator and her three best friends Erin, Apple and Isabel, and how they met their favorite band The Ruperts. These girls are Strepurs (backward of Ruperts) and they are the band’s die-hard fans. And being a die-hard fan, besides obsessing and daydreaming about band boys, includes stalking, engaging in internet wars, writing fanfiction, going to as many shows as possible, stan wars, and ~~obviously~~ erm kidnapping.

Just because I was a Ruperts fangirl does not mean I was crazy. I think it’s important that you know that up front. Because everything I’m about to tell you is going to seem … well, crazy.

Oh, you don’t say.

I must admit I was never much of a fangirl. My highest fangirl moments include listening songs of my favorite band on repeat or watching interviews with them, and I was never into boy bands anyway. So, as you can see, I couldn't really relate to these girls, but with the way this book was written I could understand the allure of being part of such a community. The fun, the friendships, the sense of belonging, and the happiness.

Maybe it was obsession, but it was also happiness; an escape from suckiness of everyday life. And when you find something that makes you happy and giddy and excited every day, us fangirls know a truth that everyone else seems to have forgotten: You hold on to that joy tenaciously, for as long as you can. Because it’s rare to get excited about anything these days.

This book is filled with humor, OTT situations and pieces of truth about fandom and boy bands. I had so many laugh out loud moments while reading it, and I laughed even when I probably should have not. And I won't even mention of how many times I internally screamed This Is Madness!! I didn’t like any of the characters, and that’s the biggest reason for my rating. Although that was not my case, I can understand why some people would find this kind of humor offending, but I would still recommend this book.

There was so little logic to fandom. At the end, the only thing left was passion. Madness.
