Synopsis

Amelie Ayres has impeccable taste in music. Bowie. Bush. Bob. So when she finds herself backstage at The Keeps only UK gig, she expects to hate it; after all, they are the worlds most tragic band. In fact, she feels a grudging respectnot (obviously) for their music, but for the work that goes into making them megastars. And when the lead singer, Maxx, is not dressed up as a cross between Elvis and a My Little Pony, he is actually rather normal, talented, and has creative struggles not too dissimilar to her own. But the next morning she wakes up, rolls over, and discovers a million new mentions on social media. Overnight, a photo of her backstage has made her the subject of global speculation. Suddenly the world needs to know who that girl isbut for all the wrong reasons. All Amelie wants is to play her music. Shes got the guitar, the songs, the soul, and, in the safety of her bedroom, the voice. But when it comes to getting up on stage, she struggles with self-doubt.

I loved main character Amelie for so many reasons, but one of the biggest w......more

Goodreads review by Bibiana on November 08, 2018

Me ha gustado la historia, pero me ha fallado la manera de escribir de la autora, ya que había momentos que no entendía de qué me hablaba, o cambios muy bruscos que conseguían que perdiera el hilo de la trama. Me han gustado los temas de esfuerzo, de luchar por los sueños y enfrentarse a los miedos.......more

Goodreads review by Kirsty on February 06, 2017

This book is so good. Stay up reading past your bedtime good. I love a YA novel based around music and boybands and this had me hooked from the first page. I adored the main character Amelie and loved that this book was more focused on her and her musical ambitions rather than the boyband as such. I......more
