This was a really quick read (two hours from front to back). I always love rock star books. I especially liked the vlogging aspect that made the band different. Paul, the bassist and male protagonist, added his own touch to gaining fans by vlogging the behind the scenes and even parts of the show, so fans could feel more personal with the band.
Ashley. Man, I felt so bad for this chick. One night of fun turned sour, costing her the job of her dreams and leaving her in state of depression. Her roommate didn’t help matters, trying to convince her to abort the pregnancy. I didn’t like her friend much. Not the very warm and supportive type and seemed more like a bad influence.
I couldn’t warm up to Paul. When women weren’t around, he seemed like a good person, ready to settle down, couldn’t stop thinking about Ashley and their one night together. However, the second a woman threw themselves at him, he dove right in. Though he had mild regret the morning after, the fact that he had no self-control in the first place was a major turn off.
The back and forth of emotions and decisions gave me whiplash. If I was Ashley, I would have run the other way and never turned back. Paul was a major jerk to her when things didn’t go the way he wanted. I understood him thinking he had to choose between her and the baby and his career, but the way he stated things just left a bad taste in my mouth. Ashley had her whole life turned upside down and had already lost enough, and there he was, making her feel worse instead of supporting her.
This is my first book from the author, and the book is labeled as the first of a series. However, it felt like the book started in the middle of a series. There were characters and couples that felt like they had their own book already and this was a continuation of an overall story.
