Everything I Need I Get from You: How Fangirls Created the Internet as We Know It by Kaitlyn Tiffany

medium-paced

2.5

This book was really disappointing to me!! It was almost entirely about One Direction and provided hardly any actual research on the topic of fandom, or even teenage girl fandom, which I thought the book was going to be about. I agree with what other reviewers have said, that the title and blurb is misleading and feels like a lie honestly. I think this book would've worked better as a One Direction Stan memoir or a case study. But it felt really uninformed on fandom studies and the actual way fans shaped the internet. It's mostly an archive of the 1D fandom and I think that's great and should exist, it's just not what I thought I was signing up to read.
