A little bit about Play:Play is about another member of Stage Dive the drummer Mal. Although this is book 2 in the Stage Dive series it is a true companion novel so if you are feeling froggy and want to read Play about a sexy, hilarious drummer Mal than go right ahead. BUT do not flake out on my boy David in book 1 LICK he is still my personal favorite in the band he makes my heart triple beat swoooooooonWhat I liked about PLAY:Damn this book was funny. I was literally LOL at work. Mal would be the class clown in everyones school. But as well know under all that laughter is some sadness and seriousness. Mal literally moves himself into the life of Anne his biggest fan. Imagine going to a party and meeting not only your favorite band but getting noticed by your personal favorite member of the band. Talk about your high school fantasy coming true.I don’t know HOW she does it but the audio narrator Andi, is so good. While reading/listening to this book at work (lol) I was getting so mad every time my phone rang because the story was just so good. It is less angsty than LICK but that was okay for me it was still a one sitting read for me.Things I didn’t care for as much:I feel very strongly that this book would have been bomb dot com if it were told in dual POV Mal and Anne. There was a lot of things going on internally emotionally between the characters dealing with issues outside of building a relationship. We got what Anne was thinking but I would have loved to know what was going on in Mal’s head. Mal is dealing with A LOT of secrets he lets Anne in the most but not fully.Would I recommend this book:YES! I gave this book 5 stars its wonderful, hilarious and sexy! I know you ladies will love it just as much as I do. It’s more than just a rockstar story each bandmate has their own unique life outside of the band. But Stage Dive bandmates also have this unbelievable bond that gets you so pumped up and excited for the next story. And I CAN NOT wait to read LEAD (Stage Dive #3) at the end of July.-JuewelzSMIBookClub.com
