商品描述

From the bestselling creator of HEARTSTOPPER and LOVELESS, a deeply funny and deeply moving exploration of identity, friendship, and fame.

For Angel Rahimi life is about one thing: The Ark -- a boy band that's 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. Her Muslim family doesn't understand the band's allure -- but Angel feels there are things about her they'll never understand.

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, even it only amplifies his anxiety. The fans are very accepting that he's trans -- but they also keep shipping with him with his longtime friend and bandmate, Rowan. But Jimmy and Rowan are just friends -- and Rowan has a secret girlfriend the fans can never know about. 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.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

來自暢銷書作家《心跳止不住》（HEARTSTOPPER）和《無愛可言》（LOVELESS）的作品，這是一部深具幽默感且感人至深的身份、友誼與名望的探索。

對於安琪·拉希米（Angel Rahimi）來說，生活的重心只有一件事：The Ark——一支正在席捲全球的男孩樂團。成為The Ark粉絲的一部分讓她擁有了她所愛的一切——她的朋友朱麗葉（Juliet）、她的夢想、以及她在這個世界上的位置。她的穆斯林家庭無法理解這支樂團的魅力——但安琪感覺有些事情是他們永遠無法理解的。

吉米·卡加-里奇（Jimmy Kaga-Ricci）將一切都歸功於The Ark。他是樂團的主唱——和朋友們一起組樂團是他一直夢想的事情，即使這只會加劇他的焦慮。粉絲們非常接受他是跨性別者——但他們也一直在將他和他的老朋友及樂團夥伴羅恩（Rowan）配對。然而，吉米和羅恩只是朋友——而羅恩有一位粉絲永遠無法知道的秘密女友。夢想並不總是如你所想的那樣實現，當吉米和安琪意外地被推到一起時，他們發現面對現實是多麼奇怪和驚訝的事情。

這是一部幽默、智慧且令人心碎的成長小說。《我生來就是為了這個》（I Was Born for This）是對現代青少年生活的驚人反思，以及相信某件事的力量——尤其是相信自己。
