Synopsis: Stella will do anything for her sick sister, Cara—even stand in line for an autographed Heartbreakers CD...for four hours. She's totally winning best birthday gift this year. At least she met a cute boy with soft brown hair and gorgeous blue eyes while getting her caffeine fix. Too bad she'll never see him again.
Except, Stella's life has suddenly turned into a cheesy love song. Because Starbucks Boy is Oliver Perry – lead singer for the Heartbreakers. And even after she calls his music crap, Oliver still gives Stella his phone number. And whispers quotes from her favorite Disney movie in her ear. OMG, what is her life?
But how can Stella even think about being with Oliver — dating and laughing and pulling pranks with the band — when her sister could be dying of cancer? (taken from Goodreads)
Review: I really liked this book! I enjoyed reading it, which is always important, and loved the plot of the book! It felt similar to the Songs About a Girl trilogy, but in a good way. Overall I think the characters are well written and the story developed quite well. My favorite thing about the book was how natural it all seemed. Sometimes books involving bands and artists can seem unrealistic, but this one was on point! I resonated with Stella a lot, as I also love photography and would love to tour with a band as a photographer! The only thing I would say bugged me a little was how Stella smilingly forgot her siblings and parents while on tour. For someone so afraid to accept the job because of her family, she definitely didn't talk to them enough. BUT, I do recommend this book!
