3.5

so, i really liked alice’s writing style, because it was very simple, very soft. in this book, the characters are very attaching, and the story is great, but honestly, i felt like i was reading a one direction fanfic. 
don’t get me wrong, i LOVE one direction. but i think this story would be better on wattpad than in a real book.
i wasn’t aware of the fact that the book didn’t contain romance (just a little bit) and i was expecting it, so i was disappointed here too. 

in the end, if you want to read a story about boybands and their life behind the stage, this book is definitely the one to read! 
it’s a great book, but indeed not alice’s best one.
