How (Not) to be Seduced by Rockstars #2
When Fangirls Cry
Wonderful white marlin!
Fish-loving Saffi March is no longer a boring post-grad student by day, hopeless fangirl at night. Now that Sweden’s #1 Sex God Staffan Aehrenthal is in love with her, it’s only a matter of time before she has her happily-ever-after…right?
Devastating daggertooth pike conger!
Staffan Aehrenthal is determined never to fall in love again. Saffi hasn’t told Staffan she’s pregnant – and he ends up learning about it from the tabloids. She had made him believe in happily-ever after endings but now he knows it’s an illusion…just like the Saffi he thought he knew and loved.
Optimistic Oriental loach!
With Staffan and the whole world mistakenly thinking she’s carrying the baby of a desert prince, a happily-ever-after for her and Staffan doesn’t seem possible any longer. But Saffi is determined not to lose hope, not even if the man she’s only ever loved is the man who’s hurting her the most.

Bloody hell, bloody hell....BLOOOOO--DEEEEE hell!
I love, love, love Marian Tee and her quirky, well put together stories. I love her characters and how they are so emotionally locked in my head whilst I am devouring her books. I love how one minute you'll be crying with laughter and then the next crying from emotional pain as you watch her characters stumble and hit rocky patches along their journey.
I honestly don't care how cliche some will say these books are, I don't care if others don't like them as much as I do but I will still recommend to anybody I know and even you reading this that I don't know. I wholeheartedly sing to you to read this author. She will without a doubt get you out of a book funk, she will have you laughing at the antics her heroines get up to and she will also reduce you to tears. Think Sophie Kinsella style with erotica. You'll have some idea what to expect.
This book is more emotional than the book When Fangirls Lie but even though I had to read a lot through teary eyes I just loved it. Full of enough will he, won't he and will she, won't she, it's light enough to just fall into with no brain taxing but totally fun enough and colourful enough to keep you enthralled till the end.
Can't wait to hopefully read Rathe's story next. Please Marian churn it out quick if your writing it if only for your #1 fangirl here ;0) who is totally smitten with your books.

I've now read 3 series from Marian Tee and I've come to the conclusion that I really hate her heroine and hero.
Her heroine for starters are such pushover -- they would forgive the hero for practically having sex with them with little to no effort! It drives me crazy.
Her hero is the very much the same. They're immature as hell. I know her books are fiction but I need the satisfaction of knowing that the hero grovelled as much as he can. But we don't even get that.

When Fangirls Cry goes from happy to funny, frustrating to sad, then back to funny and happy then sad and happy again!
I don't love the characters, i hate their relationship woes, i got fustrated, felt the heartbreak, loved the sex, i got really sad and i was smiling. Just for the sheer amount of different emotions the book made me feel, i gave it a 4 star.

Absurdity level of the book was 1000% (I wrote the number correct)

Okay. First of all, this is my first review ever - I think? I've read a LOT of great books and yet I've never written a review because I'm such a lazy girl. Yes, I am. My fault, I'm sorry. But right now, I really can't help but write a review for When Fangirls Cry. This is one of the stories that really gave me such emotions that I never expected to have by reading a book!
I've seen how everything started between Staffan and Saffi and how things progressed. I love Staffan - I'm a fangirl myself - and I also love Saffi. I just love them both! They're not perfect, they have their flaws, yes. Their flaws made them fight over a lot of things, things that they shouldn't had fought about if they were truthful to each other. However, after everything that had happened between them - both good and bad things - they've come to realize that all they needed was to trust and love each other.
There's a lot of things that I'll never forget in this series!
-First is how Marian showed how big a difference could be made by a simple "leap of faith".
-Second is I really can't stop crying when Staffan was being dragged by Silver and Steel away from Saffi's hospital room and he was really trying his best to fight back but despite his strength, he still lost. It's so painful seeing how much Staffan is hurting, how Saffi is hurting, how both of them are hurting.
-Last thing! Who would ever forget - especially a Fahrenheit fan like me - the members of CELCIUS named Calvin and Aaron. I can't stop smiling while I was reading that part. You can try searching about Fahrenheit - a Taiwanese boyband - and you'll know what I'm talking about.
This book is definitely one of the many books that I'll never ever forget! It's close to my heart because I'm a fangirl myself. The truth is, while I was reading this book I really don't have any idea what's happening inside my tummy! Having butterflies is even an understatement! There's a lot of things happening and emotions that really made me feel like my insides are going round and round.
This is really an amazing story! Whether you're a fangirl or not, you're definitely gonna love it!
Last thing! I'm so happy with Yanna and Cons' cameo in this story and most of all, I can't wait for Rathe and Mary's story!!! He better go back to Saffi's room if he doesn't want to be killed by Saffi for killing her babies. lol

I gave the first book 3 stars and for this one, I rated it less. The story just got horrible as it went on. Saffi and Staffan's relationship is unhealthy and destructive. They don't even trust each other. I hated the both of them so much more now. In the first book, I kind of overlooked it because the story was cute. I forgave Staffan's douchebag ways and Saffi's stupid self. But in this second book, I have had enough of their bullshit. They create gazillion of problems which can be fixed with a very simple solution and that is: COMMUNICATION. Hello, we are in the 21st century and letting a bunch of misunderstandings pile up one after another is just isn't realistic to me. They're like 12 year olds with the way they handle their relationship. I thought Staffan couldn't be more of a dick but he proves me wrong. He is simply the world's number one asshole. Saffi is still as stupid. You'd think she'll smarten up after all the mistakes and lessons she's supposedly learned but no. The girl has just got to be the same naive heroine with no emotional growth. I'm sorry for being mean but this books is just... idiotic.

I'm crying and laughing at the same time!
After the events of When Fangirls Lie you knew that Staffan was going to come to all the wrong conclusions, which he did, but you never expected Saffi to dig her heels in determined to keep the man she loves and make a family together. At this point i'm at a bit of a loss as to what to say so as not to ruin this fantastic book! Needless to say Marian Tee manages to combine scorching romance with comedy perfectly, what threw me was how she managed to add an event that is devastating to so many women in such a way it doesn't detract from the fantastic storyline.
What really got me was the lengths that Staffan ended up going to to get Saffi back.
Well having had Constantijin's story in her How Not To Be Seduced By Billionaires series I am now eagerly awaiting the story of the last of the Pusketeers stories, Rathe, and from the last chapter of the book it looks like it may well involve Saffi's friend, Mary. I cannot wait!

El primer libro estuvo terrible pero tenia curiosidad de saber hasta donde iba a llegar la autora con estos dos personajes. Esta historia esta llena de violencia psicológica, inmadurez y actos que van mas allá de lo estúpido.
Muy, muy malo.
Muy, muy malo.

3.5 Stars!
A nice read! I desperately wanted to give this book a 4, but my constant love/hate relationship with this book left me leaning more towards a 3 since GoodReads still doesn't have half star ratings.
The thing that frustrated me the most about this book were Staffan and Saffi's stubbornness. Both of their justifications of why they feel they are right to feel what they do or done what they did is what led to causing each other further heart ache which bothered me to no end. It saddens me to think that the tragic event that occurred could have been avoided if both were better at communicating their feelings and reasons instead of being overtaken by emotions. I can't fully condemn them as much as I want to though because there is the factor of their past that they've had to deal with.
The pacing of the novel wasn't to my liking either which I feel could have been fixed if the book was longer. Some events happen so suddenly. The time from the climax and resolution also seemed rushed. While I do understand the necessity of skipping time in order to not drag out the book and still have the plot make sense, I wish it could've been done in a smoother manner, if possible. It was disconcerting to see the book ending with scenarios being played out in chunks of time.
Also, am I the only one who was frustrated about how long it took to finally find out what was the emotional scarring incident that Saffi had with Steel's ex girlfriend? It kinda irked me that we didn't find out til like 55% into the book and even then it didn't play as big of a role as I thought it would. It explains a few things, but it wasn't some mind blowing revelation as I thought it'd be. I was also confused about a few things.
Overall, I liked the book. While I do have dislikes, I did like seeing parts of the quirky Saffi I've come to know and love along with her romance with Staffan . While I didn't love that book anywhere near as much as the first, I still enjoyed it with the familiar comedy, weirdness, sexiness, and romance reminiscent of the first book.

:) :D :O T_______________adfakdshgjhsdfauohf____________________T *__* ^.^
Can that just be my review? No? Fine.
I got this ARC from Marian, and I love itttt!!!!! It was so different from the first book, but Staffan was- ugh! I just wanted to call up that guy from Madea, 1-800-CHOKE-DAT-HOE, but Staffan isn't really a hoe and I think Saffi and I would be sad if I ever succeeded in killing him during a moment's weakness... sigh.
Saffi is still so innocent and naive and caring with so much love. That's one of the things I love about Marian's characters- they're like fresh air through the window, able to still be their sweet selves without being forced to turn hard and kill that part of them that just- well, idk, shines? I loved her dedication to their relationship, even when he was being an ass. And it was so sad when they lost their baby. :(
Oh. Sorry, this is a spoiled review. All nice and rotten and pretty and shit. :3 But anyways- yes, after he goes off on her for lying (ugh she lied cause you wouldn't take her back unless she said it!) she leaves and gets a miscarriage. :((((( *SOB* You have no idea how much I cried while reading this. T_T But at the same time it made me laugh out loud! And smile because of how fucking CUTE they were. *_* I really liked the way this ended. So cute and right since they met the same way, and I liked how there was so much time in her recovering. Just perfect. X3!!
I recommend this! Marian fans, I already know you'll get it. For those who stumbled upon this, know that you've stumbled upon a gem! It's like TV drama but in book form; it's funny, romantic, heart-breaking, love-lifting, and- fucking flounder -it's just so emotionally evoking, I'd be surprised if you didn't cry!
(Oh, I didn't do that curse right, did I? Flicking flounder...)
Happy Reading!

I didn't like this one as much as the the first book of Saffi and Staffan. I would've thought after Staffan's mistake in the previous book he would have been more understanding and not jump to conclusions with Saffi.

Saffi Saffi Saffi you always get yourself in some much trouble with the lies. I love this book and it's a great read to show people.. This is WHY YOU SHOULD NOT LIE. People will get hurt and you could lose your ONE TRUE LOVE.
Marian always has the best drama wrapped up with some great sex in her books. This is no exception. For people who have not read When Fangirls Lie(How Not To Seduced By Rockstars #1) it's better if you do. First you might get a bit bothered by the main character SAFFI for her lies but once you read it you will fall in love with her like everyone else does.
As for the SEXY ROCK GOD Staffan he is SEXY AS EVER and as always the CRAZY ALPHA Male.
I just LOVE this book and pretty much anything else I can get my hands on from Marian. Again it's the writing style that I can't seem to not love.

I was so looking forward to this book since I really liked "When Fangirls Lie". In a way, "When Fangirls Cry" did not disappoint, although I didn't quite liked as much as its predecessor.
I felt this book had a lot more angst than the previous one. And I think it's for that reason that Saffi's funny and infectuous personality she displayed on the first book was somewhat diminished in this sequel. I kind of missed that. Staffan was also a jerk in this sequel which knocked down some of his swoon-worthiness.
Nevertheless, Marian Tee is an excellent storyteller. Despite my issues with this book, I was still engaged throughout the story and had a hard time putting it down.

SHE DID IT AGAIN!! I absolutely love Tee's books! There unique and entrancing!! I swear everyone of her book make me look like a lunatic! Laughing, smiling, crying by myself while I'm reading, but I can't help it her books a re great! I love how she really makes the characters show true emotion! And god SAffi was really make me mad this boom why couldn't she just tell the true about, well who ever read it already, you know what! All in all I loved it! The ending however I'm waiting to see if that will happen!

Esto estaba perfecto hasta que llego el segundo libro pedorro.
Saffi, me diste dolor de cabeza. Madura, deja de mentir (o miente mejor y en cosas que valen la pena) y deja de poner excusas y tratar de ser la buena del libro, vales mierda, chica. Y Staffan, tienes treinta años no doce, deja de dejarte llevar por lo que dicen las revistas y piensa por tu cuenta.
La autora debió de dejar de escribir cuando terminó el primero, really, esto fue un asco.

This book was not really as i expected not that i didn't like it.. There was all Marian secret ingredients which i love :attraction,steamy sex, hot possessive guys, love, humour, a bit of trouble in paradise and some tears because i was really not expecting Saffi to lose… But i wish it could be longer.. It seems that it lack something but still... Im looking forward to Mary & Rathe story...:-)
September 2, 2013
I did like the story but after two books the hot and cold of Staffan was just grating on my nerves. He loves her then pushes her away. My neck hurt from all the back and forth. Then with Saffi and her "lies" was just ridiculous. I liked her way better in book 1. Her quirkiness just didn't show in this book and I kind of didn't like her being so desperate.
September 7, 2013
This one is not as good as the first one. What i simply don't understand is that by lying jeremy might be the father helps Them to get back together. I admire her courage and determination to try and win him back but those Tactics looked so pathatic.
He is a huge Star, really huge but for 2 months, he was under a disguise as her assistant PA. He didn't perform at all during these 2 months?

Yes! At last! These couple finally grew a pair and got their heads out of their asses.
I thought they were gonna be immature and selfish forever.

This was a wonderful read.Touching,funny,sad,you name it.I dont feel cheated out of anything with this book.It was captivating from the beginning to the end.Thank you it was well worth the wait and the money to read and re-read ;)
September 10, 2013
Freaking awesome! This was a wonderful continuation of Marian Tee's first Fangirl. The emotional rollercoaster that Saffi and Staffan go through is heartbreaking and intense. I could not put it down. Great story. Thanks!
September 18, 2013
I loved the first book so I've been waiting for this one. It did not disappoint either. Saffi is stronger than I would have been because holding onto Staffan is hard to do. Can't wait for Rathe and Mary's story.
August 31, 2013
I loved this book. I great ending.
August 31, 2013
Great ending to this couple's story! Cannot wait for the last of the trio's story with Mary!!!!!
September 3, 2013
I could not put this book down. Read it in one night, had to read it after book one. It is so good and needs to be read twice
September 29, 2013
Perfect sequel for a perfect book i look forward for more of Marian Tee
August 8, 2013
It was semi okay..
