I am trying to get through the YA books on my kindle as i seem to have aged out of most of them and this one has been one my kindle for some time.
It is a decent read with a brothers best friend trope and Aimee has always had a thing for Miles, pretty much from the moment she first saw him when he was twelve. Having created fan fiction and being the first major fan, when Miles win a singing contest and enters a band, her older brother tells her something that breaks her heart.
Two years later her parents are joining Doctors without boarders early and make a very reluctant Aimee join her brother on the road with Miles and his band. Miles's mother is Aimee's mothers best friend and has agreed to look after her, even though she is busy.
Miles does not recognise Aimee when he first sees her and it is only when Aimees brother tells him its his sister does the realisation come for Miles, he wants her and cannot stop thinking about her.
Both are already hurt in the past by others and at first set out to be friends only, but we all know how that goes when there are hormones involved. As usual it is a misunderstanding on both ends and a reluctance to talk about things that has them upset and split. It is only on talking to others that they realise their mistakes and manage to get back together for their HEA.
This series is one that I have actually in the past 5 years, read books 2 - 5 and finally scrolling through my kindle this past week, read Book #1 Aimee and the Heartthrob. For those who haven't read the series. This series is based on a boy band called S2J aka Seconds to Juliet and each member has a nickname. Each book is standalone about one of the band members and their search for true love and a good girl, someone who isn't with them for the fame and fortune but because they care and love for them. Book #1 features Miles whose nickname is the Heartthrob and has a bit of a reputation for being the charming British one with a playboy attitude. Before being in the band, he was part of a Big Brother program with Aimee's older brother Nick and soon became close friends with Nick and Aimee's family. Aimee had the biggest crush on Miles until he broke her heart. She even wrote fan-fiction but once he got famous, she couldn't stand to hear his name so deleted the blog and never read or heard anything of S2J. Over Summer break her parents spend time with Doctors Without Borders and normally she spends the time with her best friend Becky. However, Becky has caught mono- the kissing disease and Aimee has to spend the summer with Nick on a concert tour with S2J. Her worst nightmare. A lot can happen in a couple of years and eventually, Aimee and Miles hit it off but when things from both their pasts come bubbling to the surface, both of who have been burned before - Can they trust each other to overcome the rumors, etc and find true love in each other’s arms? On a side note, one of the things I loved about Aimee was that she is a book vlogger and reviewer, as a reviewer myself this made me like her character more. If you love Boy Bands and YA Romance, then check out Aimee and the Heartthrob by Ophelia London before the year is up.
Thanks for the advanced readers copy. I was not able to get into this one, so I won't be proving a review on social media.
I requested this one back in the day as I had every intention of reading it. However, its been years and I still haven't gotten around to it and while I feel guilty at not reviewing a book I think that I need to admit to myself that I won't be reading this one anytime soon....if at all.
