I loved this book.. As a child of the 80's I was taken back to the music I enjoyed and my own crush of kead singers in music bands.

It is a wild read and I loved the two timelines in which the story was told.

Nicole and Cassie are sisters and they are both connected to Ben from Bristish band Secret Oktober. Cassie feels that she is in love with Ben but When Ben see Nicole singing in a bar well ..... things happen


This is a twisty read and to be honest all the charcaters were unlikeable, but I felt that we weren't meant to like them.
The girls are toxic and the men played with their emotions only for a tragic event to change everyones lives.

a good read..

I loved this book!
I’ve always enjoyed Sandie Jones books, however this is by far her best one yet.
I really enjoyed the nostalgic element of the plot and it took me right back to the mid 90s. I quickly engaged with the characters and liked the various twists.

This novel brilliantly conveys the era in which it is set, as well as the nature of teenage obsessions with popstars and how far people will go in their attempts to establish a "relationship" with their crush.

These aspects of the story rang surprisingly true, so kudos to the author for portraying the frenetic rockstar lifestyle and obsessive fan following that is part of what makes up the groupie experience.

Also very touching was the portrayal of Nicole's mother's illness and how her imminent death affected her daughters.

The story is twisted and complex, with multiple twists delivered in the story telling. One of those twists at the end I felt was unnecessary but this story does in any case require some suspension of disbelief, particularly with respect to the behaviour of the younger sister. Be that as it may Sandie Jones certainly does know how to tell a story, and this one is a roller coaster ride!
