This is the story of Sadie, a beautiful (although she doesn't know it), smart, caring teenage who has had to grow up too fast. And Jax, a teen sensation rock star desperate for a summer of anonymity. She is a maid in his summer home, and he is instantly infatuated with her.
What I liked: The characters were likeable and I was interested in knowing more about them. The premise of the story was good; I mean who doesn't love this kind of Cinderella story. The writing style was easy, the story fast paced, and as I mentioned, I was interested in what happened to Sadie, Jax, Marcus and the rest.
What I didn't like: It was really, really unbelievable. Seemingly, Sadie moves to town, goes to school, and goes unnoticed by most of the population of Sea Breeze, AL. I'm not sure what changed, but suddenly, she's got multiple followers, including Jax. Also, Sadie is very innocent, Jax is a rock star and he doesn't even try anything? For real?? Lastly, I found some of the stuff Jax and Sadie said to each other too over-the-top sweetly romantic. Gag.
After all that, I would recommend this to tweens and early teens who like a good love story. It will appeal to them in the same way Cinderella appealed to them when they were younger.
