Songs About a Girl
Songs About a Girl | Chris Russell
9 posts | 18 read | 4 to read
When sixteen-year-old aspiring photographer Charlie Bloom receives the invitation of her dreams - to take backstage photos for chart-topping boyband Fire&Lights - it's an offer she can't refuse. Overnight she is launched into a world of bloggers, paparazzi and backstage bickering and soon becomes caught between the dark charms of the band's lead singer and songwriter, Gabriel West, and his boy-next-door bandmate Olly Samson. Charlie's growing notoriety makes her a daily target for bitchy bully Aimee Watts and her clique, and though she seeks comfort in her best friend, Melissa, her life spirals ever further out of control.As her connection with Gabriel deepens, Charlie stumbles upon a spine-tingling truth: all the songs he has written for Fire&Lights' debut album are, impossibly, linked to her and her past. How can this be? What dark secrets has he uncovered? Why is Melissa acting so strangely all the time? And will this rivalry between Gabriel and Olly eventually tear the band apart?Heartbreak, romance, fame and pop music - this is pure wish fulfillment for any One Direction fan who's ever dreamed of saying 'I'm with the band'.

A fun (and sometimes deeper than expected) light read. That's not a bad thing - I know a lot of our teenage readers who crave "realistic" fiction with a good dollop of romance would love it!
Reads a bit like well written band fanfiction, and has a similar effect on the reader (again, not necessarily a bad thing!).
Hasn't changed my life, but I did enjoy reading it and am tempted to read the follow up to see the resolution to the HUGE cliffhanger!

My favourite read of 2016 so far. Very much spoke to my inner teen who was boyband obsessed #ukya
