18yo Natalie desperately wants to save her father’s life’s work - their family run Deaf Center - but since her dad died, her Mom has not been willing to listen to Natalie and her sister. When Natalie is offered $40,000 to travel with the lead singer of Daydream, the hottest new boy band, for their summer tour to work on his ALS skills (his little sister is rapidly losing her hearing), she feels backed into a corner. While she is not at first interested in him beyond signing, as she gets to know him beneath his public image, she becomes more and more drawn to him. Dynamics within and around the band, however, seem determined to keep them apart.
I am mystified by the large amount of swearing in a teen romance book; most of it is casual use, not actually angst driven. Romantics at heart will love the boy band setting and seeing “behind the scenes” of a touring band is always interesting.
