Harry Styles captivates audiences worldwide with his talent, charisma and sartorial wit. From his early days as a member of the boyband One Direction to his wildly successful solo career, Styles marries mass appeal with a celebration of fluidity; blurring the lines of fashion, musical genres and gender norms. Once dismissed as a flash-in-the-pan teen trend, Styles has proven himself as a once-in-a-generation talent. Today, Harry Styles is less of a pop star and more of a lifestyle.
When her twenty-year marriage ended, Keris Fox fell into the One Direction fandom and her whole life changed. Ten years on, and numerous live shows later, Keris has travelled the world with a host of new-found fandom friends and learned that it’s never too late to let the things you love teach you how to be yourself.
Part fandom memoir, part celebration of Harry Styles as an artist, The Harry Styles Effect is about the profound impact one of the biggest stars in the world can have on fans of all ages and backgrounds, and the transformative power of collective joy.

Such a wonderful book on one of the greatest talents in today’s modern culture Harry Styles. Enjoyed reading this beyond belief! Full of great information (some I don’t even know as a Harry superfan) I highly enjoyed this!
Part celebration and part memoir, this book is about joy, and loving the things that bring us joy unabashedly and without shame. Fox weaves together her own personal experiences with not only Harry but also with pop culture, alongside the way that Harry has impacted fans around the world. She includes anecdotes about favourite songs, experiences seeing Harry in concert and the way he embraces and includes everyone.

Fox also talks about the way society places values on women’s interests- men’s hobbies often take them out of the house for large stretches of time- golf, recreational sports, boys trips, poker night. Women’s interests are expected to “blend into domestic life” and I’ve never thought about it that way. I have experienced the infantilization of women’s interests though, and it was validating to read about it in this book.
As a Harry fan turning forty this year, I really enjoyed this!

Keris Fox explores what it means to be a fan, especially as a middle-aged woman, in The Harry Styles Effect... A glorious tribute to fandom, friends and - obviously - Harry Styles.
