Audrey, Wait! is the story of a normal girl that breaks up with her boyfriend who just happens to be in a band. Next thing she knows he's written a song about her, it ends up on the radio and catches like wildfire all over the country and world! Audrey becomes an unwilling celebrity and this is her journey.I had heard tons of good things about this book and it did not disappoint. This book was hilarious but with a strong heart. I'm in love with this style of writing, hilarious and full of popular culture references and asides. It reminds me a bit of the style of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist which I also adored. Audrey's cat, Bendomolena cracked me up every time she was mentioned. I want to be friends with Audrey, James, Victoria, and Jonah. I only wish I was as cool as them when I was in high school.
Each chapter is headed with a song quote. Which makes a great soundtrack for reading this book! A good portion of the musicians I recognized but I didn't begin to appreciate this type of music until I started college. But thank goodness I did!
This is the most beautiful cover I have seen in a long time. I actually looked up the design firm, Rodrigo Corral Design. He has done tons and tons of book covers and jackets including James Frey's A Million Little Pieces. All I want to know is Sir, how can I get your job!
Thanks to author Elizabeth Scott! I won this book in her last book wish contest!
4/5 Stars
This sounds like a great book, I've never heard of it! I'll have to add it to my TBR pile!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! I have too, but I forgot to write it down. You know what happens when I don't write it down? (lol)
ReplyDeleteWriting it now...lol!
Yes! You guys, I definitely consider this a high quality piece of young adult literature. I think that if i were in high school this would have been my favorite book! I just love it as is too. It's hilarious! J. Kaye, I know I usually write things down. Lately if I really like it i'll just add it to my amazon wishlist and if not figure I'll encounter it sometime again. I shouldn't be buying any more books. I have no where to put them!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing well in the contests :)
ReplyDeleteLenore- Yes I am! I won this one awhile back! And then last week, the one that you actually won from Melissa Walker and on Book Vault someone didn't claim The Elite so I was runner up!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to think of something fun to do for a contest myself. I was thinking of giving away Twilight but a lot of other people have been giving her books away recently. I want to do something semi-unique!
