4.3 Glimmering Stars - maybe the cutest ever...
A sweet Boy Band story and a great YA M/M as well.
I started to read this book a couple of months ago (a Monday-BR with two lovely Portuguese girls, Isabel and Barbara) but stopped after 8-9% (to read another book?). Anyway, I liked what I'd read and immediately bought this 12 hours audiobook when I saw it was for just $2.29.
A good decision?
Yap! That's why there are so many stars from a not YA/NA reader.
This was surprisingly captivating for a lady who thought she had finished reading these youth romances. But, oh boy, how delightful fun and "boyband-cute-&-adoring-young-love" appetizing this novel was.
A enjoyable and nicely done audiobook narration by Tyler Stevens was it also. (..for just two single bucks - don't miss that opportunity)
***********************************************************
Catch My Breath is romantic and simply fantastic well made "Young Adult" M/M novel about Danny Bright, a born entertainer, and the innocent, idealistic Elliot Price. It is about their love for each other, the band, their struggle whit fame, fear, hard and tough contract terms.
It is a story filled with strong emotions, young love, sex debut (non-explicit), kisses and touching, but also about jealousy, heart wrenching pain, storming happiness and the joy of creating, singing and be admired. A tale about that first beautiful love.
These five goodlooking charming guys first meet —and are pushed together— after auditions by Blue Horizon Records. A record company looking for new big (cash cows) stars.
This fantastic journey start with five happy young boys (Danny, Elliot, Tate, Reese and Webb al around 18-21) but it doesn't all turn out exactly as they first imagined. It isn't just to sing, smile and be happy. ~ Soon are Danny's and Elliot's lives upside down.
It was so terribly tough. They, Danny and Elliot, were forced to hide, deny, pretend, lie, etc. etc. ~ For god's sake - never let your teen, any friend etc, sign a contract before you skimmed through it and twisted and turned all ifs and buts.
I would love to write a lot more about this little gem. —There is so much to comment on, to ponder and reflect upon. It felt in my heart, I was like a mum and these boys where my dear sons.— But there's no time now. It's bedtime over here.
***********************************************************
Catch My Breath is a love story I would recommend to a slightly older teenager. Because this is both so very cute and also so amazing beautiful. A must read for you already grown-up who like to again and again meet that sweet romantic first love. You'll get tender and grand huge love.
A good one (and audiobook listening) as I'm not going to forget in a hurry.
~ The coziest thing I've read (listening to) in a long time. ~
I LIKE - much much more than I thought

And the RL story? (view spoiler)

“From the very beginning, no matter where Elliot was or what they were doing, Danny's gaze instinctively sought him out. It was like everything else was boring shades of gray, and Elliot was a solar flare, bright and burning.”

"...Restart now as an audiobook.
A YA story about a boyband project sounds nice to read about after a lot of crime stories.

"If I was asked to recommend a good youth romance with a gay theme, it would be this lovely book. Wonderful nicely told in a tasteful manner. Romantic so that my heart nearly explodes - I almost wish I was 18 again."

"I got that silly smile.
..but will it end good? They are still so very young and and still so avoidable. Stand up for your feelings, guys! It's perhaps the only real effective way. Or?"

And the way they came out??? If that happens to Larry then EVERYBODY will freak out!!!
I don't know that much about the real boyband. Have just seen pics and gifs when they are hugging each other and looks so very lovely and cute. Why would people freak out? Isn't the rumor that they are a couple already?
I really hope they has the possibility come out if they want to. If they love each other... :)))
Thank you Sue! Maybe I have to listen to some One Direction songs now. :))))
Thanks Barbara! It was a lovely story. I'm glad I read (listen to) it at last. If it wasn't for you and Isabel it should probably never found its way to my reader. - This book was so good (and amazing cute) that I'm tempted to read more YA stories soon.
