Review:

First of all, thank you guys for suggesting this book because it was exactly what I wanted! I laughed so many times that my mom kept giving me weird looks.

The Plot:

Audrey, Wait! is a book about a normal 16 year old girl who breaks up with her boyfriend Evan and takes you on her journey to being famous because of the song her wrote about her.This book captures the teenage life perfectly and gave me a good impression of what it's like to be famous. I remember when I was little and I wanted to be a famous singer, now I realize that it's sooooo overrated. I don't think I could ever handle all the constant attention plus I wouldn't want to deal with all of the stalkers crazed fans. This book is the perfect read if you're looking for something to grab your attention from the first sentence and make you crack up. Seriously, this book is pure gold, a complete masterpiece. I loved every single thing and I couldn't help but fall for all the characters. A nice and cool touch was who the author incorporated songs (in the titles of the chapters and in general) into the book. I even knew some of them and one of my favorite songs was in it. It was so funny and realistic and I'm dying to get my hands on her next book. I know the plot is a tiny bit far-fetched, but I loved the unique story line, the witty conversations, and the glimpse into the life of a normal music-loving, fat-cat-having girl turned famous by a break-up song. Audrey, Wait! was hilarious and if you haven't read it already, what the hell are you waiting for?! go, now, read. thank me later!

Character:

It's safe to say that Audrey is probably one of my favorite characters ever. She was relatable (minus the fame part) and I could easily feel sorry for her about all of the problems she had to deal with. She handled her situation well and I grew to love her attitude. Audrey came off as being a cool normal girl and almost too realisitc. I wish she was real cause I'd love to be her friend. She stayed to true to herself throughout the book and I loved the scene at the end (trust me when you read it, if you haven't already, you'll know what I mean) and she was just so easy to connect to.

Victoria was laugh-out-loud hilarious. Her amusing comments, pit bull attitude and sick pink Mohawk thing made me crack up so hard, if i had been drinking milk, it would have come out my nose (just wondering, does that actually happen?). She was tough and an awesome friend who didn't let anyone walk all over Audrey. She was a fun-loving awesome character who added the necessary spark to make this book so freakin good!
