As the title suggests, this book is about a teenage girl, Charlotte,
who has a lot more guy friends than she does girls. It does not really bother
her, especially since she has two step-sisters at home and Charlotte prefers
the least amount of drama in her life as possible. She keeps herself busy by
being the manager of her best friend’s band but suddenly there are new members
of the band (all boys of course) and one man out of the band which causes more
boy drama than Charlotte could even imagine!
It is so rare to find a book for young adults that has no foul language
or talk about sex or sexually active teenagers and this book proves you can
have an extremely fast-paced, fun, drama filled novel without any of those
elements. The characters are so well developed and you truly feel like you have
joined this group of friends and you are sitting on the couch watching the band
practice. This book is a great read for any girl who has experienced the drama
that can come from being “just friends” with boys.
