The Kind of September is the hottest boy
band and Melissa Parker is best friends with one of its founding members, Sam
Morneau. She travels with the band as an intern and is smack dab in the midst
of all the drama surrounding the band. Not to mention, she’d secretly in love
with Sam. Trying to hide her feeling from him gets harder by the day and rumors
keep circulating about different members of the band.
I absolutely loved this book! I could not
put it down. In being friends with the author, I got a peek at this book when
Jackie was still writing it. From the glimpses I got, I just wanted more.
This book didn’t feel like an indie book
at all. All the characters were amazing and there was so much angsty drama that
kept me completely entertained throughout it. With having so many characters,
it can sometimes be difficult to keep up with all the different relationship,
personalities, and dynamics, but Jackie did a great job. Everyone’s personality
came through clearly and they were all so unique.
Jackie even wrote out some of the song
lyrics for The Kind of September’s songs that accompanied each chapter.
Typically in books, I grow bored by this kind of thing, but I didn’t with Boy Band. The lyrics flowed so nicely and
I believed they could actually be songs that would be sung today.
Overall, this book was so great and
exceeded my expectations (which were fairly high since I had gotten one of the
first glimpses at the book when it was being written). I literally read it in
one sitting and couldn’t put it down.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who
loves the drama and angst with teen romance, without the dreaded love triangle.
It was witty and fun – a great ride for anyone who wants to sit back and be
thoroughly entertained for a few hours.
Oh, and quickly, the ending just makes me
want more!
