Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
An enjoyable and often poignant novel about the trials and tribulations of growing up and the pain of having a crush on the lead singer of a boy band. The writer has successfully got under the skin of a teenage girl, revealing typical female traits--the bedroom completely covered in posters of your icon, your family refusing to understand your passion, being sure that if only fate would bring you together then he would realise that you are the one. Luckily for Ally Morgan fate does intervene--"Five Nine" are playing the last gig of their tour on her birthday and she and her best friend have tickets. Unfortunately, arch rival Marienne Forrester and her crony have won a backstage pass. Ally's despair turns to joy, though, when she discovers that the band are staying at the same hotel. By fair means or foul she will get to meet her idol. When she finally does meet him it is very different from her dreams.
Alex Shearer (married with two children) has brilliantly captured that feeling of unrequited love of a pop star which almost every teenage girl must have experienced at one time or another. Both touching and funny, this is a must for every parent and teenager suffering from this syndrome. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Ally Morgan is in love, and not with just anybody - she's fallen for Stevie: good-looking, talented, popular and unattainable, Stevie Manns.
But Ally hasn't just fallen for the boy next door: Stevie is the lead vocalist in Five - Britain's boy band phenomenon. Still, Ally knows that she and Stevie are meant to be together. His lyrics had to be written just for her. They share a unique bond, they think alike, they want the same thing, if only they could meet then Stevie would definitely fall for her. Definitely... So when Ally's mum gives her tickets for the next Five concert in Birmingham, and her dad books them into the same hotel that Five are staying at, Ally seizes her chance. She and best mate Paulie gatecrash the post-gig party. Posing as PR girls, they get into the penthouse suite at the top of the hotel...where, finally, Ally gets to meet the love of her life. Only Stevie isn't quite what she expected. He's really nice, but he seems sort of shy and quiet. He chats to Ally, but his world is so different to hers. His last girlfriend was a model for goodness' sake! Ally suddenly realises that she got it all wrong. People like her don't go out with people like Stevie, they go out with people like Phil, who's been hanging about pining for Ally for years. Come to think of it, Phil's not bad-looking - and he's funny - She could do a lot worse....Who said love was fickle.
