That was really fun, and I loved the little surprises Poston stuck in there. That one at the very end may have made me a little misty. BLOG | INSTAGRAM |TWITTER | BLOGLOVIN | FRIEND ME ON GOODREADS
Pretty darn adorable and slightly more porny than I expected. Light read and I honestly think she's a solid writer.
This book was really light and short, but unfortunately wasn’t that good. The story was cliché and the characters were horrible. I don’t mind cliché characters and plot, sometimes the book might be fun even if it’s not that original, but here it wasn’t. It was as if the author was trying to make the main character “different”. Not only am I totally tired of seeing this sort of main characters, but she wasn’t even that different. The main characters was supposedly different, edgy and really into
My cheeks hurt from smiling -- THE SOUND OF US was such a fun ride. It struck just the right balance of humor, nostalgia (carnivals at the beach, crappy cars, dive bars), beautiful prose, and characters you want to be friends with. Junebug was a riot and after finishing this book all I want is to hang out with her and listen to the radio. She and her best friend, Maggie's, pop culture references (among them Harry Potter, Boy Meets World, Star Wars) had me laughing out loud and nodding my head li...
Ever wonder what it would be like to hang out with a pop star?To see them behind the spotlight?For Junie she gets the chance, but before long she discovers she's falling for Roman. But Roman is still famous, and he'd never go out with a girl like Junie, right?The Sound of Us is a epic tale of love, loss, friendship and being true to who you are.This story will go far.Fantastically written and a pleasure to read.Full review: http://kitkat1242.blogspot.co.uk/2013...
There is a special magic that happens when you meet someone on vacation. Something about being away from the people and places that know you allows you to be more real. Ashley Poston captured that feeling and wrapped it up in the gauzy haze of stage lights and classic rock ballads. Junie is earnest and broken and resilient, just the kind of heroine I love, and Roman is a brilliant, delightful mess. Together, their chemistry sings. Sweet and funny, with so much heart and just the right amount of
Originally posted on www.serendipityreviews.co.uk.This book was a refreshing change and a surprising one as it is on the debut list for Bloomsbury’s new ebook imprint, Bloomsbury Spark which is launched this month. The reason I found it refreshing was probably the setting. Considering how influential the musical and celebrity environment is on the younger generations, there aren’t many books that embrace the pop star phenomenon. I can only think of C.J. Skuse’s Rockoholic And Bridget Tyler’s Dru...
You can also read my review here. "..falling in love is like hearing your favorite song for the first time. It's something so unsuspecting, something so quiet, that you don't realize it's happening until it's over, an all you is hear it again...." We all have a band that EVERYBODY loves... except for you.That is Rowan Holiday for Junie. His song irks her. Annoys her. So imagine them meeting... in a very awkward way. Let's just say that there are underwear involve!!Ooooh guys!! I love this stor...
Originally read as Roman Holiday: Radio Hearts #1. When initially released the book had a bit of a non-ending to it. The Sound of Us, released by Bloomsbury Spark, definitely gives us more closure.I'm keeping my rating at 4 stars, because that's what I had it at before, but I have to say that I didn't enjoy this book quite as much the second time around.Overall, though, a cute read with larger than life characters.
A pretty fun premise let down by - a lot. For starters (and this is in the first section, so no spoilers), if the police are looking at someone for murder, they don't say "we couldn't find any witnesses to say he was somewhere else so he wasn't in their apartment killing her, so we'll let him go". Also, the vile journalist turned out to be ridiculously vile, and not even remotely credible. The scene at the cemetery near the end was -- (view spoiler)[ thousands of mourning fans, reporters, etc, j...
When I saw the cover for The Sound of Us I was instantly drawn to it, and after reading the synopsis, I knew I wanted to read it. The cover is eye catching and looks like the book could be a fun read, and it fits perfectly with the synopsis.The protagonist of The Sound of Us is Junie, she 'works' at The Lining, her Father's bar that she has taken over in the running of it in the attempt to keep it standing after his passing. Leaving behind The Lining, Maggie, her best friend, and Caspian, her ho...
I seriously loved this book. I have a soft spot for stories that have some sort of music theme to them, and this one didn't disappoint. Poston did a fantastic job creating a flawed, confused and relateable character in Junie. Roman and Boaz and Maggie, the supporting characters in this tale, were well rounded and each had their own story outside of the one we were witness to.I loved how I could feel Roman's pain and confusion and fear, even though I wasn't inside his head. The relationship betwe...
Ash Poston’s been on my radar increasingly, as I’ve been told by Dahlia that Geekerella is SUCH a Christina book. I picked up the second Radio Hearts book off of NetGalley a while back, because I have autoapproval and it has a pretty cover. Then I picked up The Sound of Us in a sale. Unfortunately, I’m not that impressed with Poston’s debut. I think it could have been pretty good, but a lack of editing was the kiss of death.Honestly, I’m pretty offended that Bloomsbury’s Spark imprint felt this
