The final chapter asks the question few people can answer: what was it about One Direction that made them such a phenomenon? And could it happen again? There鈥檚 no definitive answer but ultimately, it had to be them: Harry, Niall, Louis, Liam and Zayn. Five boys who dreamed of stardom and found it together. In the words of Louis Tomlinson, they were 'normal guys but terrible dancers' and maybe that鈥檚 what the fandom fell in love with. In this chapter, Maddie reflects on why One Direction were so important to her as an adolescent - and why the fandom can live forever. Featuring interviews with Directioners Grace Dumdaw and Olivia Peter, songwriter Savan Kotecha, songwriter Jamie Scott, Vanity Fair鈥檚 chief critic Richard Lawson, music journalist Michael Cragg and the 1D Historian.
