Holy Crap what a book!

From the moment that I picked up this book I literally couldn’t put it down… so I didn’t! It really sucked me in to the story and had me captivated by the characters. It was an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish.

RL Griffin is unbelievable! She threw so many twists and turns into this story that I did not know where it was headed but they worked brilliantly.

Stella deals with a seriously heavy and emotional event that leaves her not knowing how to cope with life itself. If faced with similar situation I believe I might have responded the same way that she did.

“She was held together by a thread. Not even strong fishing wire, but the kind of thread that could fray and break in the wind. A thread that could unravel at any moment, scattering and smashing all the pieces of her that she was trying desperately to keep together.”

With the help of her roommates and her friend, Stella, slowly starts to get back to her life.

“Time makes things tolerable. Time gives you perspective on events that shake your world to the core. Time allows you to move forward. But time doesn’t change the pain that sits in your gut.”

She meets George who is a bartender at the bar that she frequents with her roommates Finnegan’s. He is determined to make her whole again.

“I want to tell you that you are beautiful, you know that? Inside and out.” He kissed her left shoulder blade, “but you are broken. I plan on fixing you.”

“Oh really, how do you plan on doing that?” she asked without moving.
He leaned down and kissed her lovingly on the back of her neck, up slowly behind her ear. A shutter went through her entire body. “Very slowly, and one piece at a time, love.”

OH. MY. GOD!!! *SIGH*

I can’t get over the ending. Talk about turn of events. It was not at all what I was expecting. I cannot wait until book 2 comes out!!! I have sooo many questions that need answers STAT!

I received this book in exchanged for an honest review from the author.

Playing Along is a really cute story about love at first sight and the soundtrack that plays in the background.

George Bryce is the frontman of the British band 'Thesis'. George has all the success he has ever wanted and millions of adoring fans, but he still feels like the awkward teen he was in high school. He feels like something is missing from his life.

Lexi Jacobs, who lives in L. A., was the popular girl in school with her whole life planned. Fast forward a few years: she is single, and starting a brand new job. Her life has not turned out the way she planned.

Lexi ends up going to an acoustic concert of Thesis in L.A. With her best friend. Lexi is captivated by George and his music, and for a moment in time their eyes meet and George knows she is the one for him. She is what he is missing.

They have a lot of ups and down throughout, but true love wins in the end.

I didn't like that it took so long for the MCs to get together. Almost the whole book went by and I was a little worried that it wouldn't happen. Also at times it dragged on for me. I wanted a little more interaction between George and Lexi.

Overall a cute story that keeps the dream of "love at first sight" alive.
