Amandaj's Goodreads review of Colin Preston Rocked And Rolled (Read from June 13 to 15, 2011)
Colin Preston, a 19 year old college student, falls fast in love with a girl named Jasmine. He feels like he can talk to her about anything, that she is his soul mate, that they are meant for each other.
He fails to see that maybe she doesn't feel the same way back. Jasmine is his first love and becomes obsessed with her in the way that lovers sometimes do, refusing to see faults, and wearing rose colored glasses. Jasmine is defensive, moody, self absorbed, and most likely confused as to what she really wants.
The book was a quick read that shows how foolish love can be. I could relate to some of what Colin was going through; being wrapped up in love, sex, and the drama that can come with it. A first love is never really forgotten. And falling in love for the first time can make you blind.
I liked the book. It brought back a few memories, some good, some not so good. Colin's love for the Beatles was something I probably could have done without, but it wasn't too distracting. I like the Beatles, but I feel like I have been overexposed to them in my lifetime and I am only 23. I would have gone for more mentions of Bowie, but that is just because he is more my cup of tea :)
