Audrey has just dumped her sort a loser boyfriend who then writes a song about how she dumped him. Now she and the song have become famous. Seen as the villian in the song she's scrutinized by the public and her whole life has turned upside down.

A girl finally brings herself to break up with her agreeable(ish) but self-centered slacker boyfriend, and he chooses that moment to finally pay attention to her. Unfortunately, the attention is paid in the form of an angst-ridden song that ends up becoming his band's big break. Naturally this turns Audrey a celebrity and she finds herself practically held hostage by her new insta-fame. I wonder if anyone can read this book now and not think (if even for a moment) of the once-unavoidable "H

I need to clarify. This book is more of 4.5.
Girl meets boy. Girl dates boy. Girl breaks up with boy. Boy writes song about girl. Girl becomes famous.
You know, I really wasn't expecting this novel to be as unique as it was. It could have easily been annoying and cliched, but instead it was fresh and humorous. And when I say humorous, I mean it. This book was laugh-out-loud funny. So I advise you not to read this book in public. We don't want the person sitting next to More...

Teenager Audrey Cuttlin dumps her rock-singer/boyfriend Evan, only to have Evan write a song about the experience. After hearing the song performed at a party, Audrey assumes she's heard the end of it, until the song gets picked up and becomes a smash hit. Now Audrey is the focus of a media firestorm as the song rockets up the charts.

My Thoughts: Audrey, Wait! is an amazing book! Its one of the best books I've read this year! I just loved it from start to finish! I usually don't rate books this high because either 1. They just aren't that great. 2. Because they don't seem to compare to my obsession of how good The Twilight Saga or Harry Potter was. I do enjoy books but I don't love love love them! This one was one I actually loved. I loved Audrey, and I loved James. I even loved to hate Evan! I don't know why I waited so lon

The biggest problem with Audrey, Wait! is that the whole plot revolves around a so-called catchy, chart-topping song of the same name. Since we can't hear the song, we can only rely on Audrey's word and the words of the song, which are, honestly, pretty lame. While there are popular songs out there with lame lyrics, it's usually because of the beat, the music. But because we can't hear the song in Audrey, Wait!, all I could think was that "Audrey, Wait!" was quite possibly the dumbest

Wow. I expected this book to be good, and boy was I wrong, it was amazzzzing! I liked Audrey's character, the writing style, the music references, the plot, and how realistic it was while still being very light-readish.

When 16-year-old Audrey dumps her musician boyfriend, he writes a song about it which ends up soaring to the tops of the top ten lists. Now Audrey finds herself inexplicably popular, as kids at school start asking for her autograph, and strangers snap photos of her through the school windows. She's trying to get the cute guy at work to notice her, but on their first date they get chased and cornered by paparazzi, and need a police escort to get home. It finally comes to a head as her ex calls

I can't believe I just gave this book four stars. It's like a 3.55, really, so I rounded up. Also, I rounded up because I was surprised at how much I liked it. Bad cover, seemed to be a silly concept ... but Audrey had so much realistic personality, so much voice and ability to make mistakes and energy and older teen-ness (er, not defined well, but still), that I ended up reading the whole thing while standing in front of the bookshelf where I had idly picked it up.

Cute! Very funny, clever little novel. Audrey drops her boyfriend Evan, who, while a nice enough guy, and talented to boot, is more interested in himself and his band than he is in his girlfriend. The breakup goes as well as could be expected, except for one thing. Evan is a musician, and he buries the pain of getting dumped in a song. A song that turns out to the be hit of the year. All of a sudden, "Audrey, Wait!" is all anyone can talk about, and the spotlight has Audrey running for

But when she breaks up with her self-centered musician boyfriend Evan, normal is no longer possible.

I enjoyed this book far more than I initially intended to. To be honest, I loved it. "Audrey, Wait!" did not have a wildly original plot by any means, but the way the plot was approached is what made the story so special. This book follows the changes a girl, Audrey, undergoes after a song her ex-boyfriend wrote becomes an overnight sensation. Unfortunately, the song in question was inspired by Audrey herself.
