I think we all feel sibling rivalry at one time or another. It would be hard to be pushed aside.

XD I'm more excited for the band aspect than the romance, so no high expectations here. <br /><br />- Kazhy @ <a href="http://mylibraryinthemaking.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">My Library in the Making</a>Kazhy @ My Library in the Makinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02921971647844534586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-684268176687394812013-07-12T20:09:50.015-05:002013-07-12T20:09:50.015-05:00I'm glad the positive outweighed the negative!...I'm glad the positive outweighed the negative! I think I would have a problem with his mysterious bad behavior and with the unrealistic timeline (I hate when books start to be TOO unrealistic). And unfortunately, there are a lot of books out there that have a troubled teen fall in love with odds stacked against them...it's become a nasty trope, but when done well, is still great.

On that front it was a total success. I do wish there had been more Julie-Bailey interactions too, though. So glad you enjoyed this, and lovely review!

I swear, the extent of our similarities is mindblowing sometimes. Just mindblowing, I tell you! :P<br /><br />As for this book... I'll be reading it asap. It's next on my pile. :)Lisa @ Lost in Literaturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00455487013837461160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-23224697522427826422013-07-12T11:18:32.313-05:002013-07-12T11:18:32.313-05:00I definitely loved the band, even with their issue...I definitely loved the band, even with their issues, and wish that there had been more interaction with Julie (who I was certainly vilifying throughout the book). I enjoyed reading this overall, but I really wished Bailey would have grown a back bone sooner and as much as I was rooting for their relationship to work out, I did have some issues with Sam. The super quick time-span of the book was weird, too. Great review!Natalie @Natflix&Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12738039522965794238noreply@blogger.com
