Maya longs
to become a musician in her own right. After the disaster at the talent show
and getting kicked out of her own band, she’s ready to throw in the towel.
She
still has to get through Career Shadow Day where she will be paired with
country superstar Jesse Scott. Their first meeting went terribly wrong. Jesse’s ego can barely fit through the door; it’s
clear he’d rather be anywhere but spending time with her.
Still, she gives it
her best shot. Before long, defenses are broken down on both sides. What
starts off as a nightmare could turn into a daydream. Can they help each other achieve their dreams?
My Thoughts:
I Love Miranda Kenneally's book and this one is no different. I love that it branches out from sports books to a book about music and chasing your dreams.
I admit that I wasn't a huge fan of Jesse's at first, but he obviously won me over. I felt horrible for him and his family life. He had a terrible struggle with them and yet he is willing to throw away his happiness to keep his family close. It's admirable.
I really liked Maya - like Kenneally's other characters - she's strong, determined, and she has a dream. I liked watching her chase her dream to turn it into reality.
I loved the day they shared together and the outcomes from that day.
Also I loved seeing favorite character again - like Jordan!
