After graduating from college (the first woman in her family to do so), Gwendolyn Ross sets off for Catalina Island, where she'll be interning at the new bird park. While she hopes to spend the summer of 1928 finding new species and creating habitats, Gwen has her aspirations dashed when her supervisor gives her the feminine task of selecting the tile for the park's aviary. Determined to prove her worth, even if it takes time, she carries out her assignment. When she arrives at Catalina's tile factory, Gwen meets easygoing tile artisan Michael Cathner--and can't deny the powerful chemistry between them. Then she learns of Michael's reputation as a ladies' man and refuses to become another conquest. Yet the more she spars with Michael, the deeper her attraction grows. As they explore their feelings, Gwen fears that loving Michael may ruin the plans she's carefully laid out for her life. And Michael learns that his usual charms won't work on this headstrong girl. Amid the splendor of the roaring '20s and the natural beauty of Catalina, Gwen will discover whether she can change a rogue's ways--or if he'll change hers.

"To be a fan is to scream alone together." This is the discovery Hannah Ewens makes in Fangirls: how music fandom is at once a journey of self-definition and a conduit for connection and camaraderie; how it is both complicated and empowering; and how now, more than ever, fandoms composed of girls and young queer people create cultures that shape and change an entire industry. This book is about what it means to be a fangirl. Speaking to hundreds of fans from the UK, US, Europe, and Japan, Ewens tells the story of music fandom using its own voices, recounting previously untold or glossed-over scenes from modern pop and rock music history. In doing so, she uncovers the importance of fan devotion: how Ariana Grande represents both tragedy and resilience to her followers, or what it means to meet an artist like Lady Gaga in person. From One Directioners, to members of the Beyhive, to the author's own fandom experiences, this book reclaims the "fangirl" label for its young members, celebrating their purpose, their power, and, most of all, their passion for the music they love.
