When her ex writes a break-up song about her that rockets up the charts, Audrey is suddenly famous--she can't go out without being mobbed by fans and paparazzi. Readers can take a wild ride with Audrey as she makes headlines, confronts her ex on MTV, and shows the world who she really is. It's the song everyone's singing. And it's about her! But for Audrey, becoming famous overnight equals total, life-changing disaster.
You wouldn’t think the hype monster would be a problem for
an older book, but that’s precisely what happened here. Sadly, Audrey, Wait! didn’t blow me away like
it seems to have done for so many people. Don’t get me wrong, it was funny, but
I wasn’t rolling on the floor laughing or anything of the sort.
One thing I really did enjoy was Audrey’s best friend,
Victoria. I loved that she basically wasn’t afraid of anything and didn’t mind
giving anyone and everyone a piece of her mind. Plus, you almost never see
characters in serious relationships in YA, especially when it comes to the best
friend, but Victoria and Jonah were pretty cute.
For some reason, Audrey herself just wasn’t a hit with me. I
understand the crazy situation she was put in, but man, did she have to be so
whiny all the time? It seemed like she was just complaining for a good ¾ of the
book.
The Nutshell: Overall, I did enjoy Audrey, Wait! but I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as all the hype would lead me to think. If you’re looking for a quick, fun read though, this will definitely fit the bill.
