This was a difficult and frustrating read and at times I wanted to fling my kindle to the wall. However it is a new adult read which usually entail lots of angst and let me tell you there was plenty of that in this book.The cover though was fabulous – so hot!Aubrey Keaton has not had a good upbringing due to a difficult relationship with her mother but she has always had the support of her friend and now boyfriend, Camden and his family. However Camden is now chasing his dream in California with his new band on the brink of stardom and with Audrey searching for her own dream job, there have been long separations but she decides to take a month long visit with Cam. What she finds when she gets there is a totally different Camden who she hardly ever sees, to make matters worse she keeps being pushed into spending time with his band mate Jax who brings out feelings she doesn’t feel she should be having for him.I really loved Jax and thought he was a great character – kind, considerate and hot! Cam on the other hand was a lying toad and a total douche who treated Aubrey (Bre) like a doormat. Bre however was even more annoying and constantly had me yelling in my head ‘WTF?’ All the signs of his cheating and disregard for her were blatantly obvious with a big neon sign pointing it out to her but our heroine did not take one iota of any notice. On the other hand she had this gorgeous hot singer declaring his feelings for her but she kept ignoring that and trying to make a go of it with Camden. Even when you thought she had finally seen the light she kept reverting back to being a flipping martyr! See what I mean about frustrating? There was a lot of going around in circles but eventually we got to the part where she sees the light and grows a pair!For me it was a little immature (yes I know it’s NA but even so this was a bit highschool behaviour) and there wasn’t much about the band touched on. I love NA rock star reads but this was more about the frustrating love triangle.Saying all that if you love a whole lot of angst and emotional trips in your NA read then this is one for you. There is a HEA but it took a whole lot to get there and my poor kindle was nearly squished. Overall an OK read and three stars.
