Aimee and the Heartthrob by Ophelia London

5.0

Loved it! Read as part of the box set, but wanted to leave a review on the individual book too!

Aimee's story is connected with the British guy in the band, Miles. The five guys in the band, Seasons to Juliet, or S2J for short, were all chosen on a reality tv show. Miles was friends with Aimee's brother when they were younger. She'd always had a crush on him, and he'd always been nice to her. But once he went away, her brother told her that Miles had never liked her, in fact he'd made fun of her having a crush on him. So when she ends up having to tag along with her brother on tour with the band for two weeks while her parents are out of town and her best friend is sick, so she can't stay with her, she is prepared for being miserable and feeling humiliated. Miles is the "heartthrob" of the band. You know, the British accent does it. Plus he's very flirty. And when he first sees Aimee, not realizing who she is, he is very attracted to her. Then, he finds out who she is, and she doesn't want to talk to him. But when it seems like what her brother told her may not be the truth, and maybe Miles really is interested in her, she can't keep up her anger with him.

This was probably one of my favorites of the collection. I loved the reference to Prince in the beginning. Then, when I was almost done with this one, there was a part that I was almost in tears about! The emotions in this one were high! Of course at the end when the author said that NKOTB was inspiration, I knew I wanted to hang out with her!
