My review

~I was sent a copy from the publishers-all opinions are my own~

I give it - 5/5

My review - What an amazing sequel to the first book in this trilogy, Songs About A Girl. That was one of my favourite books of last year and I was so excited when this book came through my door and I just had to start it straight away. 

In the first book we meet Charlie. She gets a facebook message from a guy who use to go to her school, a guy who is now part of a very famous boy band- Fire & Lights, and asks her to take some photos of their band as he remembers how good her photography was and with a little coaxing from her best friend she agrees to do it and this is where the adventure gets crazy.

While hanging out with all of the band she gets to know them all a little better. Especially Gabe. They are both going through something tough and hiding secrets but, she realises there is something connecting them through the music, something to do with their parents and they have no idea what it could be.

Charlie is ready to move on for it all but, she can't help looking into how their parents knew each other and why her father doesn't tell her much about her mother. In the follow-up we get loads of love, laughs, heartache and so much drama that this book had me on my toes. The boys all have something going on with them and it is taking a strain on their relationship. Charlie can't stop obsessing over what happened to her mother and the connection with Gabe and his father. 

I love this book more than the first and that is crazy to think since the first one was just brilliant. This book took me on a rollarcoaster of emotions and the ending left me needing the next book even more. I can't believe what happened and also can't cope with having to wait till next year for the last book but, I just know it is going to be worth it.

I also love the friendship between Charlie and Mel. They have such a good friendship and Mel is so crazy and wonderful and just the best friend any one needs. Their friendship is a great thing to read in this book. 

Another wonderful book from Chris, thank you for making me shout at the book at the ending ;'), I cannot wait to see what happens next!
