Books are one of my favorite things to give people! Hopefully they like them as much as I like to give them!
Idol Burning by Rin Usami would make a great gift!
Translated from Japanese, here is a little more info! “Akari is a high school student obsessed with “oshi” Masaki Ueno, a member of the popular J-Pop group Maza Maza. She writes a blog devoted to him, and spends hours addictively scrolling for information about him and his life. Desperate to analyze and understand him, Akari hopes to eventually see the world through his eyes. It is a devotion that borders on the religious: Masaki is her savior, her backbone, someone she believes she cannot survive without—even though she’s never actually met him. A blistering novel of fame, disconnection, obsession, and disillusion by a young writer not much older than the novel’s heroine, Idol, Burning shines a white-hot spotlight on fandom and “stan” culture, the money-making schemes of the pop idol industry, the seductive power of social media, and the powerful emotional void that opens when an idol falls from grace, only to become a real—and very flawed—person.” Idol Burning is going to be a fascinating read! I hope you get a chance to check it out! Thank you @harperviabooks for this gifted copy! You can find this on our Amazon storefront, this book published last month!
