A review by bfdbookblog
On the Right Track by Sam Kadence, Lissa Kasey
5.0
so i read this series out of order. i read this book after unicorns and rainbow poop. i loved that book so much i HAD to go back and read this one and i'm SO glad i did. i think sam kadence may be one of my new favorite authors. sam's writing and story telling ability just works for me...a lot.
it's hard to go back and write a review about this book having read the 2nd book already but here goes. (if i post something in this review that gives anything away about book 2 i'm sorry!)
so this book has world famous pop sensation ru meeting boy-next-door adam. their attraction is instantaneous and their chemistry is palpable. of course, because adam has a fairly strict family he doesn't have internet access and doesn't recognize ru so their relationship starts off normally. adam is just fully coming to terms with his sexuality and doesn't have any experience at all. he's seen the brutality of his fellow students against out and proud sebastian so he isn't in a hurry to reveal his true self. as he gets closer to both ru and sebastian, he becomes more confident and isn't satisfied just to coast any longer. even though he is young and naive about some things, he appears to have an old soul and maturity in ways that balances ru.
ru really only wants to be free to be a musician. it's all about the music for him. he lost a bit of himself being in the boy band and becoming what his manager and other band members made him out to be. now that he's on his own and doing things his way he's free to be himself. when he meets adam, he realizes there is more to life than just music and when he looks around him he truly feels alone even with tommy. he is kind and patient and is looking for a lifetime with adam.
tommy is just as great in this book as he is in the 2nd book. i'd almost say he's one of the main characters of this book because his role is so pivotal to the story. he's strong and really just gives it straight to ru so he doesn't lose his head. he's truly a great friend to ru when he has no one else.
while bas has a smaller role in the book his may be the most important. he helps adam take a look in the mirror and stop just coasting through life. while he is struggling with his own issues and demons, he really helps adam through his tribulations.
adams parents are truly amazing and i wish all parents of gay kids could be that supportive and smart about raising their kids. while they are overprotective about some things, they are really open about adam coming out and having his first boyfriend.
there are several scenes in the book that are heartbreaking...this is a very emotional story, as is book 2 but they are just so amazing. since i've already read book 2 twice i don't need to re-read now that i've read this one but i'm anxiously awaiting the next book in the series and can't wait to see all these characters again.
