Description:
Charlie Bloom never wanted to be 'with the band'. She's happiest out of the spotlight, behind her camera, unseen and unnoticed. But when she's asked to take backstage photos for hot new boy band Fire&Lights, she can't pass up the chance.
Catapulted into a world of paparazzi and backstage bickering, Charlie soon becomes caught between gorgeous but damaged frontman, Gabriel West, and his boy-next-door bandmate Olly Samson. Then, as the boys' rivalry threatens to tear the band apart, Charlie stumbles upon a mind-blowing secret, hidden in the lyrics of their songs...
Review:
This was an interesting book to say the least. I’ve always in my younger days dreamed of
going to concerts and becoming friends with the talent, hanging out and doing
all these great things. But it’s not
always as easy as it seems and Chris Russell did a great job of portraying that
throughout this book. Yeah it’s all fun
and games but there is always a story behind anyone’s façade.
We meet Charlie Bloom, seems to be a quiet person with her
best friend Melissa, they tend to keep to themselves most of the time. But that doesn’t stop the mean girls from
getting up in their face so there is quite a bit of bullying in this book which
I wouldn’t mind teaching Aimee a lesson or two to bring her down a peg or
twenty. There is always that one person
who thinks they are better than everyone else.
Those are the people that need to be humbled the most. This book is not
mainly about bullying, there is also friendship, family, love, letting go,
letting in and betrayal. Betrayal
happens to us all at one point it’s about how you deal with it that makes you
the person you are.
Olly knows Charlie from school way back when and invites her
on tour with his pop group to take photographs, one thing leads to another and
Charlie forms friendships and more with some of the other members. Its great watching the interaction between
her and all the members, you really start to get to know them all and love them
all the same. Sure sometimes I wish she
would end up with other people but I don’t know why it happens for some reason
they always fall for the bad boy instead of the good guy. Charlie is drawn to the fire and not the
light.
Overall I thought this book was good and it kept me
interested the whole way through, I thought the ending and close to the ending
was the best parts. The heightened drama
and emotions I went through reading them were really great. I was super shocked in some parts and sad in
others, an epitome of an emotional rollercoaster. But it was good and that’s what kept me going
from beginning to end. There are times
when I wonder why not the good guy, but sometimes things have a way of sorting
themselves out that you can’t help but say well now that explains a lot. Great book.
I love the cover, so sweet innocent and simple, but still
eye catching. Great writing and overall
just a great story.
