I flew through this book. The audio was easy to listen to and I liked the mixed media aspect. I think it would work equally well in print. My favorites were the magazine quizzes (I used to love those quizzes. Are they still a thing??) The layout is genius how the sections are broken up like the parts of a song.
I’m a millennial. I grew up admiring Britney, Mandy and Jessica, daydreaming over The Backstreet Boys — the story felt relatable from a fan perspective. It also read like a factionalized version of a pop stars memoir ( I loved Jessica Simpson’s book).
I know this is asking for too much, but for the audiobook I would have liked to have actual singing for the song lyrics instead of reading it like a monotone poem.
It’s a story about music and fame but also love and friendship. Amber Young has always dreamt of becoming a famous singer. She gets the chance to join an up and coming girl group and becomes friends with Gwen, another young singer who is destined to make it big. Once Gwen leaves the group, Amber decides she wants to do the same. Honey is essentially Amber’s memoir with the majority of the story taking place from 1997-2003.
