Another book that dealt with some dark and tough issues. I liked Olivia and that she was a drummer, but unfortunately the rest of the book just wasn't up my alley.

I was not a fan of this one. The message was way to heavy handed and so extreme. It was interesting to hear about Olivia's love of music, her want to join a band and play her own stuff. Also, I loved that she was the drummer which felt like a nontraditional role for a main character that is female.

But the underage drinking danger message was just....far too extreme. There are more subtle ways that even light drinking at such a young age is a bad idea. I liked that it showed how she got into the situation and how it turned but it turned too quickly and into way to extreme. I can't imagine a teenager reading the story isn't going to feel like it's just another adult warning them about the dangers they don't take seriously anyways.

Who doesn’t want to follow their dreams? That’s exactly what 16 year old Olivia is doing by joining a band as their drummer; the only thing is she is lying about her age in order to get in. Then there is the bad boy lead singer Lucas who has caught her eye but remember what is on the outside isn’t always what’s on the inside. As for school she is falling asleep in class and coming in hungover which can only lead to disaster. This is a book that is for the YA crowd with a lot of life lessons.

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley for a free given and honest review.

Too young for me. It is an okay book for young adults... really young. Not my cuppa
