First sentence:

The day I broke up with my boyfriend Evan was the day he wrote the song..

My opinion:

Jamie, the mastermind behind The Perpetual Page Turner and The Broke and the Bookish, recommended this book to me and I usually can’t read one of her reviews without checking the book out for myself and I hardly happens that I don’t put them on my wish-list.

Audrey, Wait! seemed to be just another one of Jamie’s reviews I need to check out but she raved about it so much that I bought it straight away and I’m glad I did. The idea of the book is quite unique and hilarious. Every other page I had to stop reading to think about all the crazy things that had just happened to Audrey, who tries so hard just to be normal but isn’t after her ex-boyfriend wrote a song about her which became popular.

None can imagine how hard it must be for people to become famous over night and Audrey, Wait! gives a bit of an insight of what might happen and how you will struggle. This book was funny and witty and plain awesome! I cannot believe that I didn’t discover it earlier but I’m so happy that it was recommended to me and that I read it.

It’s one of those books that are not popular enough and that I will, from now on, recommend to everyone. I will definitely check out more of Robin Benway’s books.
