Audrey Wait! by Robin Benway


Audrey Wait!
Robin Benway


Overview

"California high school student Audrey Cuttler dumps self-involved Evan, the lead singer of a little band called The Do-Gooders. Evan writes, "Audrey, Wait!," a break-up song that's so good it rockets up the billboard charts. And Audrey is suddenly famous!

Now rabid fans are invading her school. People is running articles about her arm-warmers. The lead singer of the Lolitas wants her as his muse. (And the Internet is documenting her every move!) Audrey can't hang out with her best friend or get with her new crush without being mobbed by fans and paparazzi.

Take a wild ride with Audrey as she makes headlines, has outrageous amounts of fun, confronts her ex on MTV, and gets the chance to show the world who she really is." LINK

Review
I really loved Audrey Wait. I liked the idea of it, becoming a celebrity overnight. And it wasn't overrated either. The whole paparazzi scene was very realistic. So were the endorsements and such. Audrey handled being a celebrity like any other person would, by just ignoring it and trying to live her life like it was before. Because it wasn't like she wanted it or anything. Victoria was also a pretty cool friend. At first, I thought she was just using Audrey to get to stuff but I guess she was just being more realistic than Audrey, she just kinda went about it the wrong way, at times. And Audrey and James' relationship was really cute. It was surreal but nice.
I also love how Robin named the chapters with lyrics of songs that described what was going to happen in the chapter. It's so cool how she could do that.
Overall, Audrey Wait was and entire roller coaster ride. I would definitely recommend it to everyone.
The only thing that really bothered me was the ending. It was too much of a fairytale, but it's all good.
