As far as contemporary romance novels go, Face the Music has excellent writing, a nice cast of characters with true-to-life personalitlies and a romantic heart-throb anyone would be pining for.  I enjoyed the sooo 2000's plot setting of a reality music show and the behind the scenes happenings that drove the story forward.I would have to say that this novel could fall into either the  YA or adult catagory with it's young college age leading lady and PG 13 romance details.My one issue would be the complete absurdity of 24 year old Allison, not realizing for ssssssssooooooooooo long, that she is actually a great catch.  I know that in most of these stories the main character is working against themselves and as the reader goes, we have the perspective and incite that they do not, BUT there are about 5 to 6 chapters toward the end where the point is being over-made!  The story was still captivating, it just needed some......"tightening".  The point was well made from the beginning that she was blind to her own "girlfriend greatness" so we could have gotten to the resolve a little quicker.  My only other issue would have been that superstar Chis Knott's sorted past could have played a more influential role to the plot.  I was really waiting for something big there, but that is just a small point.If this is your literature genre, I say give it go and keep checking in on Andrea K. Robbins and see what she is up too, I can only see her getting better.
