If anyone tells you a song is important to them, you should turn it up loud, close your eyes, and really listen. Because at the end, you will know that person so much better.

Warning! Quotes and Gushing!

I am all tingly and gooey inside. I am also hurt, I fell in love and got my heart stomped. Gaaah!

description

My heart! GAAAAHHH!!!

"Just remember when you’re yelling, you’re hurt. And whoever hurt you probably loves you just as much.�

description

I read MF Contemporary and freaking loved it. GAAAAAHH!!!

“I grew up, my dreams changed.�

description

Daaaamnnn! This was a freaking good story. I fell in love instantly from the prologue. The author clearly knew what she was doing. That prologue kept me from leaving, Stella persuaded me to stick around and the music connected me to the words. I got a dope Spotify playlist now, courtesy of this book.

In all honesty, I was selfish. Love was selfish.

The story is narrated by Stella. I loved Stella, I felt she was realistic, with real dreams. Fresh from high school, in love with music, armed with the ambition to be a music Journalist. The story is told in present/past format but not like the ones we are used to. This is definitely unique. It maintains one timeline for long, in a way that is not confusing and annoying.

My peanut heart and head were being played with. Stella, Reid, Nate, Paige, Lexi, Ben and every goddamn character in this book, made me feel the feels. It was that good. The character development is amazing, no one was left behind. I remember them all.

“If you leave, I’ll be ruined anyway,� I said, my heart bared.

description

Gaaah! I love Stella, she had Amy Winehouse and Eagles on her playlist. That alone guarantees my undying love.

You can’t put a price on your dreams, and I learned over the years that sometimes dreams have a way of paying for themselves. Excited for my new adventure, I floored the pedal up and down the steep roads that led to the small town outside the city.

Stella's story is so well written and pulls you in. I still can’t believe how much I ended up enjoying it. I love the fact that it wasn’t predictable. I was dying to know how it was going to turn out. GAAAAHH! It was excruciatingly painful. Stella growth is so amazing. I love the fact that she found herself first and I loved her through, the love, the heartaches, the failed dreams, the realized ones, the confusion, the mistakes and everything in between.

I loved Stella, I loved Reid, I loved Nate, I loved Lexi, I loved Paige and i freaking loved even Ben.

description

I am so happy I peeked and gave this book a chance. Best MF experience ever.

"Spice up your life... La la la laaa... If you are having a good time... La la la laaa..." Ugh, okay songs of The Spice Girls probably won't belong into the category of ones that define your life.
But I guess now I have another earworm. LOL.

Oh! I know that song, and i love Spice Girls. They are iconic. Yes. What matter is having a good time. And i believe the playlist has something to do with my love for this book.

Yeah, I like songs in my books as well, just like movie titles (if I know them) LOL.

message 45: by Annery (new)

Annery We seem to be on the same wavelength lately. I've been doing AB MFs lately, for everyday getting around, and I've been lucky. I did like this, though I had to ocassionally remind myself of the age of the protagonists. I'll be honest, I was rooting for Nate though I knew he wouldn't be the choice. Stella likes rock n roll.

Yay. 😍 It is good to balance sometimes. Some of these mf are really good. I was rooting for Nate too. Stella is a wild one. I loved her journey. Continue enjoying the best mf out there.
