For Angel Rahimi life is about one thing: The Ark – a pop-rock trio of teenage boys who are taking the world by storm. Being part of The Ark’s fandom has given her everything she loves – her friend Juliet, her dreams, her place in the world.

Jimmy Kaga-Ricci owes everything to The Ark. He’s their frontman – and playing in a band with his mates is all he ever dreamed of doing.

But dreams don’t always turn out the way you think and when Jimmy and Angel are unexpectedly thrust together, they find out how strange and surprising facing up to reality can be.

A funny, wise, and heartbreakingly true coming of age novel. I Was Born for This is a stunning reflection of modern teenage life, and the power of believing in something – especially yourself.

Product description

Endželas Rahimi dzīve ir saistīta ar vienu: poproka trio "The Ark", ko veido pusaudži, kuri vētraini pārņem pasauli. Būdama šīs grupas fane, viņa ir ieguvusi visu, ko vēlējās - draudzeni Džuljetu, sapņus un savu vietu pasaulē.

Džimijs Kaga-Riči ieguva visu, kas viņam pieder, pateicoties savai grupai. Viņš ir solists, un spēlēt kopā ar saviem biedriem ir viss, par ko viņš jebkad ir sapņojis.

Bet sapņos ne vienmēr viss ir tā, kā jūs vēlaties, un, kad Džimijs un Endžela negaidīti satiekas, viņi uzzina, cik dīvaina un pārsteidzoša var būt realitāte.

Smieklīgs, gudrs un sirdi plosoši patiess romāns. Tas ir satriecošs mūsdienu pusaudžu dzīves atspoguļojums un spēja ticēt kaut kam - it īpaši sev.
