I found this quite painful, and cringe-worthy. Yes I'm a grown woman reading a teen novel but I found it very unrealistic with the insta-love angle. This just does not happen in real life, and the world is not all butterflies and glitter. Sadie was a very niave character who basically just accepted how her life was going to be at the hands of others (her mom and Jax.)
I just found it to be a walking, talking cliche.

I honestly don't understand how this book has so many great reviews.
I decided to read it because it came highly recommended but I was barely able to finish it.
The dialog was probably the worst part about the book. All the characters talked too formally. Everything that was said was beyond unrealistic. The love lines were cheesy and unromantic.
I liked the idea of the plot, but the entire story moved too quickly... yet not quickly enough! After two BRIEF conversations they were already in love? It made no sense.
This entire book was a major waste of time.

I loved this story. I thought it was well written from the perspective of a soon-to-be senior in high school and her view on life. While some parts were a little cheesy and I thought the characters were going to go their separate ways throughout the story, the story actually ended up in a twist of fate, but in a great spot none-the-less. I would give it 5 stars and would read it over again!
:: 5 Pretty Little Stars ::
Breathe by Abbi Glines is like a modern day fairytale. Although instead of having the prince charming, you get a teen idol rockstar that is sure to knock your socks off! Ultimately, I am still new to the whole Abbi Glines phenomena but so far everything she has written has pulled me right in from the get go. I love the concept of her books and this one in particular really made me smile. Some of the things the characters said (like the continuous use of saying “however” by Jax) turned me off a bit because that kind of writing should be used for term papers not conversation. But other than this, I really loved this story and can’t wait to read Marcus’s story next. Fans of the author (and those who are new to her) should definitely give this book a go. I honestly enjoyed it immensely and loved how sweet and vulnerable the characters actually were.
Sadie has just moved to Sea Breeze Alabama with her very pregnant mother. And because her mother is nearing the end of her pregnancy, Sadie has to pick up the slack and make money for the small family. So she takes her mothers work position in the home of Jax stone- a teen idol rockstar (and every girls dream). But Sadie is determined not to let this heartthrob keep her up at night, so she goes about ignoring him to the best of her ability. After all, she has a job to do and mouths to feed. But Jax Stone can’t quite leave her alone. And soon Sadie is falling under this rockers spell.
Jax Stone is a teen idol- the boy that every girl wants to be with. But having never found someone he could connect with on a deep and emotional level, he played the field and just did his thing. That is, until Sadie walks into his life. To Jax, Sadie is a vulnerable, sincere, and sweet southern girl who is so much different than anyone he has ever encountered before. But he is afraid to let her in fully because he knows that his rockstar life isn’t going to mix well with a relationship. So what happens when he falls in love? Can he have the relationship he’s always dreamed of having with his career? Or will his career jeopardize his relationship?
Overall, I really loved this book to pieces. I found it to be really cute, sweet, and endearing. Jax is definitely a heartthrob, and Sadie is exactly how she appears to be (a cute, sweet, and innocent female that has the world on her shoulders). The love story, while it unfolds quickly, is definitely heart melting as well. Each of these characters stole my heart and I wish there were more that we could see. So, would I recommend this book? Absolutely! I honestly have loved everything I have read by the author and I plan on reading more in the near future!

Нищо особено, но книжката беше сладка, а аудиокнигата ме забавляваше през паузите на уроците по немски и тренирането.
"Most girls my age wished their mothers would leave them alone, and I wished mine would just care."
Almost a fanfiction but not really a fanfiction, it was really good! A little bit of erotism sometimes, just the right amount and I really loved Sadie and Jax!
