I had really high hopes for this
one, but all I could give this one was 2 Stars. I had to really force
myself to move forward and keep reading. This is fiction so I know that
in the fantasy / literary world things don't have to be realistic,
but I cannot jump on board the "Insta-Love" band wagon. I've
seen this quite a bit lately and it drives me crazy. You don't meet someone
once, go away for the weekend with them and fall instantly in love. I
want relatable fiction. In real life anyone that says the L word to
someone within 3 days can pretty much kiss that guy/girl good bye and expect
that they will tell all of their friends "that chick / dude
is crazy".
This story begins with Jess in
a writer’s slump. She's just published her first book and is desperately trying
to find inspiration for book two. At the local coffee shop she runs into
Johnnie (lead singer of Chasing Cross). (Side note: Johnnie??? couldn't we
think of a cooler name for this character?? This doesn't really
scream rock god) Jess has no idea who Johnnie is and this intrigues him. They
talk and sparks fly. YADA YADA YADA. Jess' friend just happens to have tickets
for the Chasing Cross concert that night. Jess tags along, low and behold who
does Jess spot on stage? Who does Johnnie spot in the crowd? Oh yes, you
guessed it INSTA LOVE!!! After this point it just gets stranger.
If you decide to read this one let
me know your opinion. I'd love another perspective because I was just not
feeling it!
