unusual twist on the regular rock star romance story, I loved the story and I'm definitely looking forward to reading more in the series,
Cassie is counting the days down until she goes to college, determined to enjoy her last summer with her best friend they get tickets to see her fave band.
The last summer before college turns into something more than Cassie could have ever imagined,
A great read, I really liked this book, I wish it picked up a little sooner, and I wish Cassie would have been honest a little sooner but it was a wonderful book.
The ending was perfect! Blake seemed like a really good guy and I liked that, He stuck by this thoughts and feelings and I liked that! Sophie was awesome and Jesse and April annoyed me most of the book.
April was a bith and Jesse always sided with her!
Wishing for another book from their time at Columbia! Great story.
I loved the whole concept, Casey running away with her favorite band and falling in love with the lead singer, There was always this tension and sense of urgency and impending unknown through the whole story that kept me glued to the pages.
One thing I thought could have added to the whole overall story, more romance, I wanted more interaction in the weeks on the bus to show how they fell for each other,
I loved the letter and him showing up at the end, Perfect. deleting reviews if you want to take a look at them you can do so on my blog, link on my profile I finished the book, so two.
Casey should be handcuffed in her room and write a reflection essay on responsibility, She didn't once think about her parents, their turmoil, And she didn't once consider the possibility that Blake is not a gentleman, Bad things happen and that's why we are told repeatedly as a child not to trust any strangers, But no, Blake is her favorite singer!! so he must be pristine!! So he asked, and Casey jumped! and within two days, they fell in love! I mean, seriously people, you expect me to believe it On top of it, she had no backbone! April was continuously being mean to her.
I'm not telling her to be bitchy, but would it have hurt her to speak up once or twice she is not the queen of the world!
And then, what was the problem with April If she had a crush on Blake, I would have understood the pettiness.
But no, she doesn't have a crush, she just can't stand Casey on principle that someone has invited her and Casey might get photographed with Blake, If she were that shallow, how is supposedly deep Blake and Sophie friends with her because my experience says that while people don't have to be absolutely same to be friends, they need some basic grounds and you can't be friends or work so closely with somebody so shallow.
Music isn't like accounting where you can just forward the previous years' figures without exchanging a single word, You need connection for it,
Now, Blake. I have so many problem with him that I have a mind just to omit this paragraph, I mean, what's the point wasting my energy He asked Casey to go with him after first meeting and he doesn't trust girls.
so why did he invite her to have free sex for the tour or did he just wanted some free publicity and he put Casey on the stage in place of April.
Now I don't know in which planet he or the author resided, but in our planet, doing something like that is a recipe for disaster.
because unlike the caseyandblakeonmagazine thing, this is a really public humiliation,
Now the concert, I have no idea if the author has ever experienced stage fright, Casey was completely uncomfortable singing in the family living room of Sophie's uncle's, And suddenly she took on a whole concert albeit a small one, but that's by Moving Neutral's standard, What, pray tell, put on this sudden change of character
the side characters were pretty one sided too, Sophie is another backbone less character, Jesse is weak, they were onedimensional and not really needed in the story,
And the parents, Really, where can I find a pair like those If I and any of the girls/boys I know would have done something like they would have stopped talking to me, at the least.
the worst don't even ask me, In our society the boys have a lot more freedom than girls and even they would have been given a serious punishment about it.
Casey's parents just made uhah noise and thought she has got her heart broken and that is enough, really
I have to give one thing though, If you don't consider the story loopholes, and crappy characters and see it as a writing to move people, yes it was good.
My suggestion would be to get some beta readers who can successfully point out the discrepancies, Because, although my experience of this one was bad, I'd like to read more of her work, She can write in a way that engages the mind, otherwise I never could have finished the book, This was a quick fun read,
Yes it's every girl's fantasy come true girl meets favourite rockstar crush and falls for him, She then joins him on his road trip cross country for her last summer before college to get away from her overprotective parents.
My only complaints would be that the ending was a little to quick and easy and I would have liked to have seen a little more interaction between the two main characters Casey and Blake.
Still overall very enjoyable to read with an easy flow writing style and interesting characters,
.stars
To be honest, when I think of this book I think of it like a wish fulfillment or fantasy situation.
I mean, the whole randomly bumping in your favourite singer and falling in love and going on tour with him Its the plot of a zillion fanfics out there.
Its incredibly unlikely to happen, and yet, . . so much fun to read about, Moving Neutral was predictable at times, but it definitely kept me reading,
I would have liked to have gotten more scenes of Casey and Blake falling for each other more getting to know Blake instead of just hearing second hand about how awesome he is.
Thats my only real complaint about the book, though, I think this is one of those books that speak for themselves, You know what you're getting when you choose to read the book, and it delivers on those expectations, Its a book that isnt at all realistic, yet its completely fun, Its like candy in a book form, if that makes sense, If youre looking for that fun, frothy type of contemporary read then this is definitely a great book for you, Finally got around to reading this book, Glad I did, I loved it, I have been searching for a hot rock amp roll romance, but this was not it, In a story, it's important to feel the chemistry between characters, and in this book, I felt NONE, I also felt like the ending to each chapter was identical, I felt like it was a better fantasy than romance: running away for a summer with your favorite rock star, falling in love, and having a once in a life time performance.
Every girl would love a summer like that, but if it was me, I'd rather feel the emotions in the relationship than feel the excitement of a fantasy.
Ok what can i say is don not juge a book by it's cover, or in my case by other reviews, . I am the king of person that reads others reviews before choosing if she should read a book or not, in this case bad ideea most of the rewies were making me second guess my decision of reading this book.
Thanks a lot guys but no thanks,
This book is OMFG!!!!!!You want a rockstar romance you got it right here!!!!!
Katy I just loved your book!!!!! This was one of those stories that I couldn't put down, but there were a lot of things that bothered me.
Like how unbelievably selfish and immature the main character was, So what if your parents gave you a cerfew Doesn't mean you should run away forweeks without so much as an email.
And how convenient that she was such a wonderful singer, Even better than the actual lead singer, I was unaware Rock Band sets the bar for excellence, I also think there were a lot of missed moments on the tour bus where we could have had more character development between Casey and the other band members.
Or even just with Blake, I couldn't help but
love Blake's character but I feel like he was left a little flat, Maybe I would have liked this better if it was longer and I could have had more time to grow attached to each character.
My complaints aside, I will for sure be reading the next one because like I said, I could not put it down.
Just because I had complaints doesn't mean it wasn't fun : Well, at the begining I was so exited about reading this book.
It seemed like the tipical book where the lead character meets her idol, fall in love bla bla bla, everything was expected, there was not really a surprise, Like Blake was going to find out the truth eventually, i was really skeptical about the PR lady who didnt appear in the whole tour.
that was a little bit strange, but i'd have blown Casey's facade,
I pretty much expected the part where Blake would get mad at her about the lying, BUT the ending not at all, that thing was too fairytaleish,
so i removed one star because:
it kinda ended "whatthehelldoisaytothat", it was expected that he will go to Columbia, but she did lie and he got over that just because of a note
sophie was like a BFF to Casey while they were on the road and in the end they just stop communicating!, not a word after Casey send the dress back to her
Casey's parents, i mean, she run away from home she is, but still, not a word and when she got back they got her everything she needs for moving to campus and there was no words about her "famous" status
so, i guess if there were a sequel to this book that will answer all these this for me i would give it a.
. . b/c all in all i had a really great time reading this book :
“Besides, pretty girls never get carded.
”
An hour later, it was clear that either I wasnt that pretty, or pretty girls do, apparently, get carded in Cleveland.
I kind of read this book on the bus to pass the time and I wasnt even going to rate it on Goodreads because I didnt really read it, just sort of skimmed.
Its a horrible, ridiculous book, But it caught my attention every now and then because the author knows how to make me relate to Casey, I felt Caseys frustration, fear, exasperation, relief, and exhilaration, I experienced her story right along with her, I started getting caught up in the suspense of wondering when Blake would find out about Caseys lie and how he would react.
There are seriously unrealistic parts to the book, like Casey going on tour with her idol after one night of acquaintance, but there are some really interesting bits too.
I liked that Blake was so kind to Casey and that he wasnt sticking his tongue down her throat every page, They have this really relaxed, slightly wishfullusting, mainlyhugging, predominantlyfriends relationship, I found this nice because Blake is like this mouthwatering rockstar,
Because of Blakes stardom, Casey sort of just disregards everything else but him,
Blake could put out an album of dogs barking and ambulance sirens, and Id probably still buy it,
It doesnt seem to be a very healthy relationship but at least she recognises that, Shes not only worrying about Blake discovering the truth but just dumping her in general,
