From debut author Goldy Moldavsky, the story of four superfan friends whose devotion to their favorite boy band has darkly comical and murderous results.

Okay, so just know from the start that it wasn't supposed to go like this. All we wanted was to get near The Ruperts, our favorite boy band. We didn't mean to kidnap one of the guys. It kind of, sort of happened that way. But now he's tied up in our hotel room. And the worst part of all, it's Rupert P.

All four members of The Ruperts might have the same first name, but they couldn't be more different. And Rupert P. is the biggest flop out of the whole group. We didn't mean to hold hostage a member of The Ruperts, I swear. At least I didn't. We are fans. Okay, superfans who spend all of our free time tweeting about the boys and updating our fan tumblrs. But so what? That's what you do when you love a group so much it hurts. How did it get this far? Who knows. I mean, midterms are coming up. I really do not have time to go to hell.

"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!" 🎤 🎶

Kill the Boy Band was such a weird, chaotic and unexpectedly fun read. 😂 As someone who was absolutely obsessed with Take That growing up, I really appreciated how accurately the book captured that intense boy band fandom energy, just taken to a completely unhinged level.

This story was wild from start to finish and I honestly never knew where it was going next. The humour really worked for me too. It’s dark, ridiculous and satirical, but there were so many moments that genuinely made me laugh out loud. Underneath all the chaos, there’s also a clever commentary on celebrity culture, fandom obsession and the way fans can build impossible expectations around famous people.

It’s definitely not your typical YA read, but that’s what made it stand out. Strange, funny, dramatic and slightly disturbing in the best way. I had a really good time with it.

The voice work on this makes it ten times better than it should be. Barrett brings these characters to life and I could NOT stop listening! If you want a crazy and progressively dark insight on the life on some crazy fangirls this is your book. Filled to the brim with pop culture and revelations to keep your head spinning and invested for hours on end. I believe this is a book that works better in audio form. But it's obviously not for everyone...

Heathers with Fangirls!

first of all, the narration absolutely makes this book come to life and I would definitely listen to more books by this narrator if they ever choose to do it again! this book is equal parts dark and hilarious and I couldn't put it down, it's so ridiculous in the funniest of ways - it's one of my favourite books now!

something so different for me but I LOVED IT
