Loved reading your thoughts on this & glad you’re a fan too!
The book reminds me of something I probably read on tumblr as an an angsty teen to do with people forgetting what you say to them but remembering how you make them feel - I can’t precisely remember the plot details of ‘I’m a Fan’ but I know it had an atmosphere like a panicky cold sweat that I’m sure will stay with me for a long time. Its depictions of power, revulsion and desire are so intensely uncomfortable yet so gripping - a case of can’t look but also can’t look away. I’m really drawn to Patel’s fierce and fearless style & hoping to read more from her! X
