Summary from Chicken House
A million girls would kill for the chance to meet The Point, but Nina’s not one of them.
She’s the new assistant to the lead singer’s diva fiancée, and she knows it’s going to suck.
She quickly learns that being with the hottest band on the planet isn’t
as easy as it looks: behind the scenes, the boys are on the verge of
splitting up. Tasked with keeping an eye on four gorgeous but spoiled
rock stars, Nina’s determined to stick it out – and not fall for any of
them …
Nayu's thoughts
Even though the only music I like is
anime music, and I'm not that fussed about romance, I loved Sophia's
latest book! I've read all the Threads series, have reread The Look
by having it in audiobook form, and just like all of those Love Song
made me cry at the end. I love Nina and her family. I love how normal
they are, how they have been touched by tragedy but muddle on with
life. I love Nina's mum for having an adventurous side, I love how
her younger siblings help her deal witht the crazed world of rock
stars. I adore Ariel's innocence, and while I'd prefer a different
source for Ariel's passions I love how she fully embraces what she
loves, and how optimiatic she is. It was heartbreaking seeing her
idyllic view on the world squashed.
What Nina goes through is
insanely captivating, no matter how badly she got treated I admired
her guts for knowing when enough was enough, especially when she made
the wrong choice because she stands little nonsense when she doesn't
have to. She isn't a crazy fangirl, she becomes a confident to the
band, anbe to get throgh to them in ways their manager couldn't. All
that happens is a huge experience, one she draws on for her art
despite a bit of heartache, which is worth it in the end.
I enjoyed
seeing behind the scenes for artists these days, including a certain bizarre
diva who are selfish and self-centred. I desperately hope Nina will
get to be with Orli a lot in the future because she is heaps of fun, and the end
was sort of unexpected for me. I hope for a happy one and got it.
It's all the power emotions that Nina experiences before she gets
that Happy Ever After, including her down to earth attitude which has me eager to
reread her tale. Dreams can happen in unexpected ways!
