Synopsis

Compared to life on tour with her wannabe rock star mother, finishing high school in the dull town of Rye is a snooze. At least Roxy has her best friend, Zoë, a second chance with her dad, and her constant companion: music.Jag Monroe is Roxy's total opposite: stinking rich, conceited, and hot in that obvious kind of way. When he breaks ranks and randomly friends her on Instagram, Roxy’s sure it's a joke.Resolved to avoid trouble, she ignores his request and he ignores her in class that week, but he friends her again on Friday. Then, Zoë does the unthinkable: snatches Roxy's phone and accepts his request."Blades delivers a light, appealing story of unlikely romance and particular chemistry. Readers will easily relate to their contemporary predicaments and shared love of music." -Publisher's Weekly BookLife Prize Critical Review

My god did this feel dated. Was this originally on Wattpad? It really wouldn't surprise me. Honestly, this wasn't fully bad, but it was certainly never great. A lot of the lingo was incorrect, the characters were lame and fake-deep, and it all just felt very childish. Plus, don't even get me started......more

My over all feelings on this book: Eh. There was a lot more cursing than I would’ve liked and it got SUPER cheesy. But I kind of like cheesy, and I thought Jagger could be pretty cute at times. There’s not much for me to say other than that. I liked some of the song references, although the music I l......more

Goodreads review by Kate on November 10, 2019

A fairly decent, but quite angsty, YA romance with a happy ending. I was surprised to discover (advertised at the very end of this book) that the author has written a sequel to this novel. She presents the romance in this book as two soulmates who are a love for the ages, and she actually sells that......more
