[Sarah Elizabeth]

47% (view spoiler)[ she doesn’t like Birdie, she doesn’t like Franny. I’m sensing a theme here! (hide spoiler)]

50% (view spoiler)[ the ‘new dad’ comment sounds kinda weird when its coming from a 17-year-old! What is she thinking?! (hide spoiler)]

51% (view spoiler)[ ”You’re grounded from your guitar.”
Her mother knows her well. (hide spoiler)]

53% (view spoiler)[ ”If you date Bill I’ll quit school.”

That’s a bit of a silly threat! She sounds quite childish saying that. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

58% (view spoiler)[ Bean is up to something again. (hide spoiler)]

60% (view spoiler)[ well the Cassie thing was a bit weird. (hide spoiler)]

65% (view spoiler)[ letting Bean rifle through her mother’s bedroom is a bit of a breach of privacy. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Haha, that grounding from her guitar thing made me laugh. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Just finished. Wasn't a bad read, but i didn't love it.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

66% (view spoiler)[ what is wrong with Quasar, Black hole or Polaris? (hide spoiler)]

70% (view spoiler)[ Stardust is good. (hide spoiler)]

75% (view spoiler)[ People with curly hair always wish it were straight, while the rest of us spend hours trying to get ours to hold a curl. (hide spoiler)]

83% (view spoiler)[ she is really hung up on this not knowing her father business isn’t she? She’s a little obsessed. (hide spoiler)]

89% (view spoiler)[you’ve got to feel sorry for her mum. It is really not easy to go back to studying when you have a baby to provide for. (hide spoiler)]

90% (view spoiler)[ Oh dear, Bean has been getting high. That bloke she saw him with was probably his dealer. Explains the sudden ‘I had to create’ thing as well. (hide spoiler)]

99% (view spoiler)[ hmm, not many answers after all that. Is Gideon Lee her father? Is Beam using or was the pipe really his brothers? Does Bean have more-than-friendly feelings for her? What will happen between her mother and Bill? Will her mother ever give her her guitar back?
(hide spoiler)]


It was a nice easy read, bit of a change from all those KU books!

[Paulina]

Just started a few minutes ago, the story is interesting, I'm intrigued to see where the story is going but no official comments yet :)

[Hadiqa]

100% done Question in the spoiler, read and answer please :(

(view spoiler)[I just can't believe if I got the complete book or if it was incomplete book since it finished at the point where she says that stars are aligned for her even though she doesnt believe it etc. . . . (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ there are 2 more books to go. I think the second one is out in december, and the third in January. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

I've finished it too. Unfortunately I didn't quite like it. I want to read its sequel, though. There are things still left unclear.

(view spoiler)[Gideon Lee is guitarist of North Star, right? or I misunderstood it? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ It was really slow. I mean I was not interested in the first 300-400 pages but then it got interesting and I was looking forward to their performance and what would happen, who was her father, her relationship with her mother, Bean and his brother etc but it ended :-( Felt like it lacked everything that should have been answered!

I haven't got a clue. I kept waiting to find out but never really worked it out! I got that he was a guitarist, but not much else.

Yeah, (view spoiler)[ the ending was really open. I'm glad that the sequels are out so soon as so much was left hanging. It did feel a bit like only part of the story didn't it? (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

At 18% I am having a though time getting through this book. I don't not line the story, but I don't like or either. Normally I'd day that at only 18% the story has just gotten started, but this book is so short, I feel like something should have happened.
(view spoiler)[ I don't care for Francine and she should have more consideration for her daughter. (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

Yeah, [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yes a bit but what I was frustrated about was that when the book did get interesting (in the end), it finished :( I didnt know there was a sequel so thanks for letting me know! :) (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Francine and Lark don't seem to have much respect for one another at all. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

54 % (view spoiler)[ Is it just me or is Lark being a total brat to her mother? Clearly her mom doesn't have a lot to be happy about, and her daughter is ruining her potential relationship. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Ashley wrote: "54 % [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I didn't like Lark's behaviour in that respect either. Her mother has obviously given up a lot to raise her daughter single handedly, and Lark just disrespects her. She sounded ridiculous calling that man 'daddy' as well. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ I feel like we didn't really get any answers and I'm really not sure what the conflict on this story is supposed to be. Lark had problems, but they seemed pretty minor and of her own making. I feel like I missed something. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ we didn't really get any answers. Book 2 is out in december and book 3 in January I think ☺ (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

We are still waiting for reviews from Rachel, Hadiqa, Larissa, Paulina, and Tara.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Thanks Tara ☺

[Hadiqa]

[rachel, x]

Sorry I didn't read this when I was mean to. I'm starting now.

5% - (view spoiler)[A kid collapses in class and instead of trying to help him or sticking around she leave because she doesn't like the smell!? (hide spoiler)]

6% - (view spoiler)[How much does this Bean kid wink!? (hide spoiler)]

7% - (view spoiler)[Oh and we have a MC that hates on the popular girls. Dammit. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

18% - (view spoiler)[It seems her mum was just being nice and letting the boss crash instead of driving. Why does the MC need to be so horrible?

Oh, what is the MC's name? I don't think I've picked it up. (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "28% [spoilers removed]

(view spoiler)[I was thinking the same and now am suspicious that he actually is. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

30% - (view spoiler)[Lark's thoughts are all over the place. In one paragraph she goes from thinking "she could be one of those models" to thinking she "looks like a troll". Also the word "wink" and "jam" are overused. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Sarah wrote: "50% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[That was weird! I don't understand why she hates this guy so much. He hasn't done anything wrong and her mum is free to date - despite what Lark seems to think. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

72% - (view spoiler)[The longest she has been without talking to her mum is a day!? (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

81% - (view spoiler)[I am sorry but she has completely changed personalities in less than half a day? I don't think so. (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "90% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[What 17 year old doesn't know what that is or what its used for!?!?!?!?!? (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

97% - (view spoiler)[Why does he think hiding it in Lark's house is any better than his house - if it is in fact for his brother? (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

100% - (view spoiler)[What did this have to do with Gideon Lee? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

(view spoiler)[ because she believe's that gideon lee is her father. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Sarah wrote: "[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I know that but didn't she just think that as a joke? I don't understand what it had to do with the actual story.... (hide spoiler)]
