Fantastic!
I started to read this in the library because I was bored and wasn't expecting to get past page 7- but I read it all in 3 days! It was such an amazingly addictive book- it was exciting, thrilling and very touching- from start to finish it made me laugh, cry and then laugh a bit more- so brilliant I really recommend it!

BRILLIANNTTTTTTTT
When my auntie gave me this book for christmas I was like what the hell is this?

But then I started reading it and cudnt put it down. Im the kind of person who NEVER EVER EVER gets into books and i really got into this one
it was so intreseting and never gave you a second to get bored i could just imagine every moment.


It really should be made into a movie and I was so sad when i finished reading it

Realised what I love about this book
I read this book almost two years ago and I still go back and read bit's of it over and over again which I never do with books. I like the plot mainly because I relate to the main character, molly throughout. I also thought it was really intresting, because most people sees being in a band and being famous as an oppotunity of it solving all your problems and making everything all better in life. It shows thought that is isn't all good and can create much bigger problems that you had before. I also love Sarra Mannings writing style, it is quite easy not to put a book down written by her in my opinion. I have read alot more since reading this book too I've noticed so that's a good thing I suppose too.
