Book Blast and Giveaway: Unrequited by Emma Grey



***
Unrequited
by Emma Grey 
Release Date: 05/26/14

Summary from Goodreads:
Seventeen-year-old Kat Hartland loathes Unrequited, the world's biggest boy band. Is she the only girl in Sydney who can't be bothered with perfect-looking Angus Marsden?

Give her 5 Seconds of Summer. Now.

Or maybe the seriously-hot med student who rescued her on a train—and who could be Douglas Booth's twin! Perfect formal partner, much?

But when Kat comes face to face with Angus Marsden himself, things start to get complicated. Very. Throw in a deranged female popstar, final exams, a part in the musical and a mum who just doesn't get it—and where is her best friend?

When did life get so crazy? Kat's just an ordinary schoolgirl.

Isn't she?

My Thoughts:

I think I liked the idea of this story more than I liked the story itself. I love stories about rock stars meeting and falling for ordinary (i.e., not in the industry) girls and all that entails; just that provides enough drama to fuel a series, not just a book. But, unfortunately, this one fell short for me. I think it might be partially the fault of the writing style. It threw me off when I first started reading and I never quite recovered from it. It just felt kind of disjointed and unnerving, like the tense (present) was in conflict with the point of view or something. Whatever it was, it just made this a difficult story to read. As a result, this was a dnf for me.
