Release Date: 05/26/14
Summary from Goodreads:
Seventeen-year-old Kat Hartland loathes Unrequited, the world's biggest boy band. Is she the only girl in Sydney who can't be bothered with perfect-looking Angus Marsden?
Give her 5 Seconds of Summer. Now.
Or maybe the seriously-hot med student who rescued her on a train—and who could be Douglas Booth's twin! Perfect formal partner, much?
But when Kat comes face to face with Angus Marsden himself, things start to get complicated.
Very. Throw in a deranged female popstar, final exams, a part in the musical and a mum who just doesn't get it—and where is her best friend?
When did life get so crazy? Kat's just an ordinary schoolgirl.
Isn't she?

Excerpt
Her attention drifts to the boy sitting opposite her on the train. In her anti-band flap, she hadn’t
noticed him board. What an oversight! He’s on his phone and she shamelessly eavesdrops. He’s
talking about his uni project while she takes mental note of his cheekbones and jawline—the
type usually reserved for people like superman and Douglas Booth. On-trend reading glasses.
Dark, floppy hair. A satchel full of textbooks gaping open on the seat beside him.
Hmm. At some point during his highly-technical phone conversation, which he is conducting in
an incredibly warm, deep voice that Kat could listen to all day, she rouses the courage to smile at
him. But he looks at her like she’s a thirteen-year-old Unrequited fan and glazes right over.
Great.
She wants to say ‘Hey, I’m seventeen and I hate them! This is absolutely a case of mistaken
identity, trust me ...’ But saying that might not come across as charmingly as it does in her
imagination and he might end up thinking she’s more of a lunatic than he likely already does.
It’s a bad day when Angus Marsden and the boys, of all people, come between Kat and a
potential date with a med student. (She’s decided that’s what he is, having stalkerishly scanned
the titles on the textbooks spilling out of his bag and having seen enough of Grey’s Anatomy
to put two and two together. And yes, ‘date’ may be getting ahead of herself a tad, but she’s
particularly good at getting ahead of herself.)
WHY didn’t she do her hair?
Oh, hang on! He’s off the phone! Try to look casual. Look out the window. DO NOT MAKE EYE
CONT— GAH! Too late!
Future Dr McDreamy fleetingly locks his dark brown eyes with hers. Her heart-rate explodes.
Her entire life passes before her eyes ...
Oh, wait! That’s what happens when you’re about to die, not when you’re falling in love. Get
your emergencies right, Kat!

I tend to love books with famous people in them, especially singers! I'm not sure why, but anyway it makes me excited to read this one :)
ReplyDeleteIf you love these kinds of books, then you should definitely read This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith. There are celebrities and everything! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThanks for the post, I hadn't heard of this book before! I kind of shy away from books with celebrities, actually (occasionally they're good, but oftentimes I find them very unrealistic, even for a famous person).
ReplyDeleteAlso, I nominated you for the Liebster Award! If you've already done this, please don't feel obligated to do another post ;) but if you're interested, check it out here: http://theyabookthief.blogspot.com/2014/08/liebster-awards.html
