I'm so mixed on this one. If you like rocker romance, it's a must read. If you don't, I'm not sure. The story does a great job of building the idea that they rocker and the girl have known each other for a long time (more acquaintance than friends) and then they meet online anonymously and build friendship there. So when they finally get together, they actually know quite a bit about the other person in a real way. And I really liked that. I had a harder time with how rocker dude magically knows as soon as they screw that she's THE ONE. And then isn't tripped up by what ensues at all. That said, they're sweet and I like their romance.

The book had a couple of annoying flaws--it read a little like a clothes catalog at times that made the writing feel a little immature and the detail of some stuff made you feel like you were reading a how-to at times (like for tatooing etc). The pacing in the book was awesome until about the last 20 pages--and then it just blew it entirely. There had been build up for awhile on one character and it was over at the drop of a hat. The conflict at the very end I think was really unnecessary and highly emotionally manipulative especially given how the rest of the story was fairly well done in a "take me a long and sell me this relationship" way.

I liked him. I liked her. I liked their friends. I liked the build up. I hated the end and the fashion cataloging. ( )

Read Fan Girl by Brandace Morrow over the last few days. I really liked it. Rock star romances tend to be heavy on the rabid fan or crazy exes messing with the couple. None of that here, thank you very much. Maybe a smidge of how convenient with the twitter thing but the more I thought about it the more it seemed plausible. I laughed a lot and Dek is a sweetheart. I'd give it 4/5 stars, easy. Plan to read Fate's Mistake by her next. ( )
