I am at 80% and I can tell what the final twist is going to be and I am already groaning.  Really if the ending is what I expect,  why did 50% of the book even happen??That said the author does know how to pull at ones heartstrings and write characters one wants to love.  I do find myself wanting a happy every after.  Sure the story has some emotional tug and even made me cry a few times  it's the details  drove me nuts.This author clearly knows very little about Los Angeles, if they had just had someone edit the book that had even visited LA it would have improved it.  Grated on my nerves every few pages.  If you don't know LA it probably won't bother you.  More important  the plot  seems to be based on a fantasy of what the music industry is like.  I don't have any personal experience with the music business,  but I have wasted some recent years of my life learning lot of useless information about bands, and touring, and signing with labels.  And the plot of this book doesn't fit into that world view especially with how much the music business has changed the past 10 years.  Where is Duff's webpage, youtube video's and Queers marketing materials online. It's hard to believe that Duff's only web presence is a facebook page.  And everything seems very black & white.. let see either Ben goes with Duff on tour for 3 months or doesn't see him for 3 months.  Why? Couldn't there be a compromise?But if this kind of things doesn't bother you, just enjoy the fantasy.  The story is a wild steamroller of a soap opera.
