Jasper, aka Jazz, was two years ahead of his grade and in high school already at age fourteen when he fell for Dean, a popular student musician who was sixteen.  They start a relationship but Dean abandons him and disappears after using him badly.  Years later Jazz works with a group of terribly cool other young people, (everyone is terribly cool in this book) at a gay magazine.  Jazz works multiple part-time jobs as well as pursuing his career as a painter although after being abandoned by Dean he had dropped out of high school and become a homeless street kid for some time.  His friends have helped him turn his life around but then he meets Dean again.  Dean is now Dean McQueen a big rock star seeking to restore his fame after a You Tube video outed him as being gay.  The two fall into a new relationship, both as musicians professionally and on a personal level, but it becomes apparent that once again Dean may just be using Jazz. 3 1/2 stars...It's interesting if you like the world of rock stars with groupies and hip young urbans.  It was a fun read overall, but I'd wait till the price drops from $7.99 because I guarantee it will now that I've bought it. ;)  I would have given it one more star but I will probably never read it again, it was expensive and it was written in first person.  It would have been more interesting if we could have heard the perspectives of the other characters as well.  Oh, and Dean is kind of a jerk. ;)  But it is a good book.
