review 1: This story is kinda something different for me. Since there was easy to guess just about everything that happened there, there would be not much to like,right? But then...I still liked it. I mean it got me interested by mentioning "19 and already divorced" thingie from the start. It struck me as pretty...not unusual nowadays but still kinda strange. Hence, interesting as well. lolWhen I got to know the guys, I realized some of them are crazy as fuck (but hey, what else to expect from a 19 years old?). Dag and Ben made for quite an obvious relationship and their deep feelings for each other weren´t really hard to see. But it still managed to keep me entertained - have to admit that Dag is such an attention-black-hole there´s no wonder I ended up under his spell, too.:DAny... moreway, I really liked the way they talked. And I mean...like real teens. Lot´s of authors don´t give a damn about it in the books and then their character´s seem to be...not so believable, so to speak. It´s not like I -enjoyed- the language. I enjoyed the fact that I could see them as real teens. And of course, all their fuckups just added the credibility to it. (And now I don´tmean grown ups don´t fuck up. They just do it different way. At least sometimes,lol):DDDSo, yeah, I guess this is it. All in all, it was a nice book. Not gonna make it to my "best books" shelf, but at the same time it didn´t burn a hole through my skull.:D Bet it´ll find it´s fans.
review 2: 3.5 starsThis is the first story published by this author, and it shows mostly in the uneven timing of the story - some places drag on, while other bits are rushed, or not followed up (eg, Doug's anaphylaxis). There are also a few typos (to instead of too; their instead of there, etc) but as that is often the case with online fiction, it will come as no surprise. Overall, I liked this story, despite the flaws, and particularly so after the group stops touring, when the story knuckles down to the relationship, and not spent of the minutiae of the tour. less

Bit fond of books about rockers. And Dagen is a very original character. Great free web read.

Quite good, even unedited. Glad I emailed the author for a copy.
