I
received a paperback copy of this book from the publisher through a recent
giveaway on GoodReads, and the following is my honest opinion.
What
is the mystique which exists between young teenage girls and male singers and
groups? And what about the infatuation they exhibit anytime these individuals
in their presence. In every decade there is always some singer or group which
enthralls them. Being a child of the 1950’s, in my teenage years The Beatles,
The Beach Boys, etc. and of course ELVIS and all the girls would go wild
anytime they would be in their presence.
Now
we come to the protagonist, Emma, and for her and her friends there could be no
other concert, but the BOYZ300 concert and the dream of seeing her heartthrob,
the band’s lead singer, live in the Bahamas. The only problem she had now is
the funds for the airplane ticket; and she knew she could let nothing get in
her way of getting it, even it meant a great deal of self-sacrifice liking
doing routine chores around the house without up a fuss.
Naturally
through true grit and determination Emma amassed the funds she needed.
During
the concert she not only had an unbelievable, up close to and stage, her seat
had been next to the runway. The concert was fantastic, but what happen during
it made her feel like she was in seventh.
Why? Her heartthrob had touched
her hand with his.
What
happens after the concert? Does she see him again, up close and personal? Does
she meet a boy she’s attracted to? I’m not saying. Read the book to find out.
While
most girls would write about the important stuff like this in their diaries,
the author takes Emma’s a bit further. Instead of a mere diary which would have
summarized each day, Ms. Meyer has given us, the readers, access to the
detailed journal Emma is keeping of each day’s events, as well as letting us
into Emma’s mind so we can know what’s
going on and sense the emotions she’s feeling.
For
allowing us into Emma’s life, and for allowing older readers to relive those
days when they had a heartthrob like Emma, I’m giving this book 5 STARS
