Finally, I would like to thank all the boy bands, and their fans, around the world. You are the beating heart behind the pages of this book.
About the Author
When he was thirteen, Chris Russell formed pop/rock band The Lightyears with his best friends at school. Since then, The Lightyears have toured all over the world, performing everywhere from Wembley Stadium to Glastonbury Festival and trashing a grand total of zero hotel rooms. In 2013, after a three-month stint ghostwriting for a One Direction fan club, Chris developed an obsession with boy bands and came up with the idea for Songs About a Girl. He is currently busy writing the sequels, gigging with The Lightyears, and fanboying in the general direction of Harry Styles.
