review 1: I was able to finish this book, but I won't ever read it again. It wasn't a bad read, just not enjoyable to me. This story dragged. I never really got into it. Some of the characters were not consistent. Some of the descriptions were tedious. Zach was always right, had all the answers, and was always the victim. It felt too easy. A lot of the plot felt contrived, and even forced in places. I assume the editors wanted to add certain types of situations or more foreshadowing. It really wasn't enjoyable to me. But it did make me want to get a drum set and start a band.
review 2: Not the kind of book I would typically read but I ended up really loving it. It's the kind of book where you really root for the main character even though you know they're flawed. And the... more relationship between Zach and Kimber just made me want to squeal with happiness. There were a couple things that bumped it down a star, such as how sometimes it felt like to story jumped from one scene to the next without a smooth transition and I found myself having to reread a couple paragraphs to figure out how it got from point A to point B. Overall though, I loved the story and the characters and it made me want to join a band, even with all the problems it entails. less
