Shelves: 4-stars, reviewed

I'm actually rather surprised at the low rating of Oh Yeah, Audrey!.
description

It is a fun, lighthearted read— all the other reviews critique it as too fast-paced and too light; but this is meant to be "chick-lit", and the novel delivers what the summary promises. This story is about friendship and our Gemma finding herself whilst in the midst of her tribute to Audrey Hepburn's Holly Golightly, and sometimes really, that's all it needs to be.

5 Words: Friendship, attraction, obsession, vintage, quirky.

This was a very quick read.

It's not the best quickie out there, but it was enjoyable. Especially if you're a fan of Audrey Hepburn and Breakfast at Tiffany's.

This is a great day-in-the-life of Gemma Beasley, and I loved how her story was told. It was sweet and fun and light and fluffy, and perfect for reading in your lunch break when it's raining outside and you need to cheer up a little.

I managed to read Oh Yeah, Audrey! in one day. It’s light, quick and easy to breeze through and I definitely enjoyed it, but it didn’t leave a lasting impression on me and I won’t be in a rush to recommend it to friends.

One of the issues is that, because this book is set within a time frame of just 24 hours, there’s not much room for character development at all. That said, Tucker Shaw does manage to squeeze in the perfect amount of adventure, from checking in at a swanky hotel and gatecrashing ...more

I only gave this 3 stars because I love the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. It's got a ton of references to the movie and some to the old time movie stars. Otherwise it would have been a 2 star read. The end took a really weird turn. It should have just stuck to the original story of the pilgrimage to NY for a Tiffanys weekend instead of trying to draw a parallel between Holly Golightly and the main character. I'm not sure teens would appreciate this book at all if they are not fans of the movie. ...more

I absolutely loved the idea behind this book. Breakfast at Tiffany’s is such an iconic film and I was intrigued by how the author would turn it into a contemporary novel for young readers. Oh Yeah, Audrey! is a fun and very quick read, even for a slow reader like me – but it wasn’t memorable enough for me.

My first and biggest problem was that I couldn’t connect with the characters. At all. I didn’t really like Gemma or her “friends”. The only person I liked was the girl who used to post mean com ...more

I was excited for this book. I'm a sucker for Breakfast at Tiffany's and Audrey and Tiffany's. The synopsis sounded cute and fluffy and it turned out to be so disappointing.

I get that it's all about Audrey, but it's really ALL ABOUT AUDREY. The friends who meet up don't really talk about anything else. And yes, I get that the blog is a bit of an escape for everyone, but they've forged this relationship built on a movie and no one seems to know anything else about each other.

OH YEAH, AUDREY! was a novel that had more to it than I anticipated. Our main character, Gemma, is a sixteen year old girl that struggles with the loss of her mother and her loneliness. She has internet friends, and at the time of the novel, she is meeting with them for the first time in New York City to essentially reenact "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Immediately, Gemma is swept into a new world, so unlike her daily life. This story dealt with a lot of things I never would have expected, and it wa ...more

A Novel (Amulet Books/Abrams, 2014) by Tucker Shaw is the second teen novel inspired by Breakfast at Tiffany’s (and written by a man) that I’ve read that was published in 2014. At its bare bones, I liked the book. SPOILER ALERT! Teenaged Gemma, obsessed with Breakfast at Tiffany’s, meets up in New York City with other fans she’s met online. Their goal is to complete a walking tour of places associated with the book and movie and finish up with a movie screening, all in honor of some anniversary. Blinded by her love and admiration for Holly Golightly (played by Audrey Hepburn), Gemma refuses to see the character for what she is: a prostitute. Gemma is convinced that the men in the book just liked handing over money for the sheer privilege of being in Holly’s company.

The meetup and tour get started, but Gemma quickly finds herself swept off her feet by one of the guys she met online. So much so that she abandons the rest of her friends and the tour. And who wouldn’t? Dusty is filthy rich and well-connected. He buys Gemma a vintage evening dress (previously owned by Hepburn herself). He takes Gemma to an exclusive art gallery opening, an overbooked classy restaurant, and an underground music venue. Gemma is infatuated with him but unaware that Dusty doesn’t share her feelings. He just considers it all advance payment for the services she’s expected to render at the end of their evening.

With this storyline, I think Oh, Yeah, Audrey had a lot of promise. However, when it comes to the execution, I would’ve preferred more. The book got a really, really slow start. And I mean really. Over 100 pages in (out of 243 pages total), I still didn’t know the plot. The author could’ve speeded things up by jumping right into the action, revealing the necessary background information as each character was introduced rather than placing so much at the beginning.

The characters didn’t need so much introduction anyway. They were rather cookie-cutter, even for Young Adult Fiction. It’s far-fetched enough to have one rich guy spending money like water on the heroine, but to be honest, two is a bit ridiculous. The book also fed off of some particularly annoying stereotypes: all Californians are rich, all Asian men are gay, and all gays are fashionable. All this wrapped up into one dreadful character, or should I say caricature. Or maybe it’s brilliant parody of Mickey Rooney’s dreadful portrayal of Mr. Yunioshi. I can’t tell. At any rate, it does raise the question of why a Japanese-American would be so in-love with the whole Breakfast at Tiffany’s craze.

As for improving the main plot: I would’ve liked to have seen Gemma come into conflict with Holly Golightly’s other unseemly characteristics, not just her escort service. It seemed as if Shaw’s heroine had read a rose-colored version of Truman Capote’s short-story, free of theft, racism, and slander. The subplots also could’ve benefited from further development. I don’t think Shaw got his money’s worth out of them. Gemma and her friends come to terms with their sort-of-enemy way too early in the course of the story. Gemma’s parental issues seem relegated to needless filler. I also think that the significance of the heroine abandoning the walking tour for a date is lost when the reader considers that she and her friends together had abandoned it to go shopping and checkout the Hepburn dress auction beforehand.

I guess in the end I have to admit disappointment. Oh, Yeah, Audrey had not just an entertaining story to tell, but also an important lesson about how naïve young people can end up in trouble. I really wish the book had been a draft, not the finished product. Some teen girls will probably like it, but I think it ended up as merely a shadow of what it could’ve been. If asked, I’d have to recommend Being Audrey Hepburn by Mitchell Kriegman instead. ...more

Than her Mom dies and in her grief, Gemma starts a Tumblr blog about Audrey Hepburn, called Oh Yeah, Audrey! to pass the time. It's in doing this she discovers her favorite movie of all time, Breakfast At Tiffany's, and her idol: Holly Golightly. Through the blog she becomes friends with Bryan and Trina, other Audrey fans from other parts of the U.S. She even gets someone named Telly involved, who constantly makes hateful comments. The friends make a plan to meet in New York, for an Audrey themed day, ending with a revival showing of Breakfast at Tiffany's. It's shaping up to be a day to remember, when Gemma is presented with the opportunity for adventure of the romantic sort, with a mysterious weathly boy named Dusty. But is he everything he seems? And can her friends forgive her for ditching them? Will Gemma's adventure be everything she wants it to be?

This book is extremely light. Yes, it's chick-lit, but that doesn't mean that at least the characters can't have substance. I have to say, that the plot was really cute (if unbelievable at times, especially a plot point involving Gemma getting her hands on one of Audrey Hepburn's dresses). I liked the friends hanging out and for the most part Bryan and Trina seemed pretty cool. Probably the low point for me with their friendship was how judgemental they were of Telly when she came to apologize about putting down Audrey. She tries to tell them all the great humanitarian things Audrey did, but Bryan brushes her off. She basically says, "Who cares about the fashion?" and Bryan shallowly tells her that's all that really matters. Then near the end when Gemma learns Dusty's true colors and finds out what a slimeball he really is, Trina is EXTREMELY mean and judgemental. She basically wants everyone to shun Gemma.

Basically the book ends with the friends reuniting and woo-hoo, it's all better! Not! The author brought in a subplot about Gemma's unresolved feelings about her Mother's death and it seemed really abrupt/unfinished. Not to mention, the whole thing is set within a 24 hour period and it just really doesn't allow for a lot of depth. Gemma was basically an any-girl, cardboard cutout and I was never really able to picture her through the whole book. Overall, I just felt like this book was too shallow to be good reading. There's a difference between fluff, and wasted potential. This is the latter.

VERDICT: 2/5 Stars

As someone who runs two blogs and meets people from the internet a lot, I could totally relate to Gemma, who decides to start a Tumblr page about Audrey Hepburn to help her get through a hard time. Through the Tumblr, she meets two friends, Bryan and Trina, who she talks to all the time but she doesn’t find herself really confiding in just yet. But they all plan to meet for the first time to see a monumental movie screening of Breakfast at Tiffany’s in New York City.

Sure, Gemma lies to her dad about where she is going but at this point, she needs a little space to do something on her own. And so their city adventure begins but never according to Gemma’s original schedule. There’s a shopping trip, a fancy auction, and the surprise visits of two other internet personalities she was not expecting. So instead of hitting all the Holly Golightley spots in Manhattan, Gemma is swept up in a magical evening with Dusty, a boy she also met on the internet. Does she make a choice to hang out with her friends or go on a once in a lifetime date with Dusty?

Well, you’ll see.

In a span of 24 hours, Gemma is forced to face a lot of truths: why she feels so close to Holly Golightley and Audrey Hepburn, how important these friendships are to her, and also coming to terms with the changes in her family life. While the strict timeline did cause me to feel a bit of suspense, I really wish there had been more time to learn about Gemma’s relationship with her father and spend time with Bryan and Triana, her friends who lived far, far away. When would they see each other again?! On the other hand, I liked how Shaw was not prejudiced over internet friendships being REAL because, in so many instances, they are and they blossom into these wonderful real life things.

Oh Yeah, Audrey! was a great New York City adventure, and I could imagine it as a really fun Disney Channel/ABC Family movie. It definitely inspired me to watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s again, too. All in all, it was a fast-paced read that made me think a lot about fandom and making pals and what we flock to when we are feeling alone. I hope Shaw has another young adult book up his sleeve. ...more

I really loved the premise behind this book, it is definitely a story from modern times, a group of people coming together because of a Tumblr page and meeting in a location that none of them lives in for the appreciation aof Audrey Hepburn. This could only happen in this age of technology and I think it is something that many readers will be able to relate to and deals with the issue of people online friend IRL (in real life!).

Of course, Gemma isn't the only character in the novel aside from Audrey Hepburn as well! We have the friends she met online, fabulous, gay, right Bryan, Holly Golightly wannabe Trina, Telly who is actually the most genuine out of the group and then there's a boy, there's always a boy, who kind of puts the whole Audrey marathon in jeopardy! I liked reading about all the characters. If anything, they could have been a little more developed, I would have liked to have seen the evening from Bryan or Trina's point of view, but then the book would t have been as quick a read as it was so I'm not complaining too much.

The storyline itself was simple, I think further development would have made the book longer and the. It may not have appealed as well to a young adult audience but at the same time, I really would have liked a little more depth. The setting of New York City was, of course, fabulous and I loved the fact that a lot of this novel took place late at night or early in the morning and so you didn't have the business of the city or the wail of sirens the whole book long, the sunset, the sunrise and the dark nights are beautifully described and fitting for the overall subject of the novel. This is a novel about self discovery and freind ship and I really hope there is a sequel soon becaus I really did enjoy reading it and want to hear more from theses characters! ...more
