Johnny Be Good by Paige Toon
5.0
Wow. Wow. I've not been able to put this down, I've been so gripped. I loved it. The story was fantastic, the characters were great and there were times when it was genuinely unpredictable!
When we start Meg Stiles has just got a job working for the baddest boy in rock Johnny Jefferson. As I've mentioned before in some stories the main male character was meant to have a bad boy reputation and never lived up to it, however this one certainly did. He frustrated me constantly but I just couldn't not like him, he was irresistible. I don't know how Meg had the patience to deal with him.
It was great to see a story where the outcome wasn't set from the beginning, I certainly wouldn't have thought it would have ended where it did. I was shocked when I read it which means I'm now desperate for the sequel to come out! I have my theories on it as everyone who has read the book does. Throughout the story there was a few mysteries about certain characters and my opinion changed on a couple constantly. I want to know what happened to a couple of characters as they didn't seem to come back up again, usually I'd mark a book down for this but knowing there's a sequel changes that as it's probably going to come up there to add more drama.
There were many times in the book when I was laughing out loud, especially when Christian and Meg were talking about sweets and things. Not only that but there were times when Johnny was drunk and he was quite amusing (however there were more times when he was drunk where he was extremely frustrating). It's been a long time since I've been able to pick up a book and not be able to put it down and find it simply perfect.
I've wanted to get my hands on this for a while because of all the good reviews I've seen about it and it just sounded like a book that I would enjoy. After reading Pictures Of Lily I had thoroughly enjoyed Paige Toon's writing. Now after reading a second book I'll definitely be reading more (starting with the sequel to this). This book is the type of book that I'll be reading again and again and again.
I'd like to thank Leah for bringing this book to my attention, it's now become one of my favourites and a must read!
