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.
