This book was about a girl name Antonia “Toni” Bennette who mother was a singer and when she was a little girl her mom sent her off to be with her dad one, she never even met in her life. As she gets shipped off, she meets another kid name Sebastian quick.
Sebastian was a kid that loved his guitar and music. He had a rough time living with his dad and was glad to meet Antonia. They became best friends. The entire time Antonia always had the biggest crush on Sebastian.
As they grew older, they saved money together and everything until one day Sebastian just took his share and left. Antonia was so heart broken and mad that he would do that to her. As they grew up, they both stayed in the business 8 years later they bumped into each other, but Antonia still was pissed with him. Antonia, making a name for herself went to audition for a group the Lilly’s.
The Lilly’s is a band that is looking for someone temporarily while the main group leader gets herself together from the fast life. Antonia, who calls herself Toni, can handle the pressure. Toni is used to performing in small places and doesn’t want the celebrity scene. As she gets into this group, she learns a lot and she and Sebastian open up to each other more and more like old times. Toni finds a friendship with the Lilly’s but keep in mind that it’s only temporary.
The group practices for a big show that is coming up and when the show happens that they practiced for a lot of craziness goes down and Toni saves the moment.
I love how this book shows real love. How it’s good to be friends first before a relationship. This book also shows what bands and people in the entertainment world go through. Things are bad, good, a lot with contracts if you don’t read and more.
I love the saying “It isn’t where you came from, it’s where you’re going that counts” never forget that.
If you love a good band and love story this is the book for you.
