Audrey's life turns into a whirlwind when she breaks up with Evan, her boyfriend and leader of a local band, on the big day the group is supposed to be getting a chance to show their stuff in front of an agent. He is able to churn his hurt and angst into a hit single called "Audrey, Wait!," which shoots the band into superstardom, dragging Audrey along with it because she is identified as the girl who broke Evan's heart.

In the process, Audrey becomes the target of the paparazzi, who has identified her as a B-list celeb; other musicians, who hope she can be their muse; and all of the kids in her school, which leaves her spending the whole school day in the office doing independent study so she won't be too much of a distraction.

While she might be wishing she could hide away, she does find comfort in spending time with her best friends and a burgeoning relationship with a coworker at the mall's ice cream shoppe.

Audrey is full of spunk and sass, reminding me a great deal of Georgia Nicholson or Princess Mia while still being able to be a good role model for young girls because she defines herself rather than letting others or a need to be popular color her personal view. I actually found myself laughing out lout at the witty and sarcastic remarks that Audrey makes. She has a nice family support system, which is a bit refreshing in a genre (YA literature) in which parents are absent, incompetant, or abusive. They let her rise and fall on her own while also being there when she needs them.

While the storyline could seem a bit surprising since it is not everyday that a local band makes it big, Benway does a great job of keeping the audience rooted and feeling like this coudl really happen.
