I did not have a chance to read this book, but it is effecting my feedback rating. I am giving books 5 stars that I haven't read to improve my feedback rating. I am not recommending the book for my classroom or students since I have not read the book. There needs to be a better system of leaving feedback for books not read.

Aftershock, an erotica genre book with the theme of a band making their big break. Rick, the lead singer, falls for their PR women, Sydney. But of course they can't just be together with no drama, right? So it's the same repetitive "I can't be with her because it'll damage her reputation" "I can't be with him because it'll hurt the bands success" constantly. A lot of filler if you asked me. I skimmed a bunch of the middle of the book. Then after the band gets their big break that no one expects (band member Marc writes a love song for his fiancee Emma and the crowd loves it) , a beautiful reporter named Melanie tries to get a one on one interview with Rick, pissing Sydney off. Drama, drama, drama. Rick and Sydney sneak off after the first tour concert to have a rendezvous with the sheets in her hotel room, BOOM they figure out they have loved each other this whole time. Gag me!
Honestly, not impressed with this book. Almost too painful to finish. I like a story that isn't so the same, like the characters think about more things than the SAME thing they've thought the entire book. They keep referencing Sydney's past but I honestly think it doesn't need to be mentioned at all.... like the main character needs to be damaged somehow; it's old. You don't really get to much depth with all the characters (the other two band members give a "great" and a "yeah" every now and then). This one just wasn't my thing. #reviewathon
