First off, can we comment on how cute this book cover is? Probably one of my favs this year.
For me, this was the kind of story you just want to follow, not just to the end of the book, but beyond. You feel for the characters and want to know how they do in college (sequel maybe?).
My one complaint is that for me it took too long for the main characters to realize that they liked each other when it was apparent to you, me, everyone else in the book, and their own subconscious. There were times I wanted to reach into the book and say “Ok look, see how they keep touching your arm? Yeah they like you.” I mean, they would literally text each other “I like you.” But I digress.
Other than that the story was super cute. And while there were a few components happening to make everything come together, the story was easy to follow and had heart.
You can see my video review here:
Small Summary:
Growing up under his punk rocker dad’s spotlight, eighteen-year-old Luke Greenly knows fame and wants nothing to do with it. His real love isn’t in front of a crowd, it’s on the page. Hiding his gift and secretly hoarding songs in his bedroom at night, he prefers the anonymous comfort of the locally popular podcast he co-hosts with his outgoing and meddling, far-too-jealousy-inspiringly-happy-with-his-long-term-boyfriend twin brother, Cullen. But that’s not Luke’s only secret. He also has a major un-requited crush on music blogger, Vada Carsewell.
Vada’s got a five year plan: secure a job at the Loud Lizard to learn from local legend (and her mom’s boyfriend) Phil Josephs (check), take over Phil’s music blog (double check), get accepted into Berkeley’s prestigious music journalism program (check, check, check), manage Ann Arbor’s summer concert series and secure a Rolling Stone internship. Luke Greenly is most definitely NOT on the list. So what if his self-deprecating charm and out-of-this-world music knowledge makes her dizzy? Or his brother just released a bootleg recording of Luke singing about some mystery girl on their podcast and she really, really wishes it was her?
