Copy received for an honest review

If you have read any of my reviews, you will know I am a sucker for a rock star book.

But to me, although there is a rock band and rocker involved, to me he is the secondary character in this book and it doesn't really make it a rock star book (but that's probably just me)

I am not going to lie, for the first 35% of the book, I really struggled to like anyone. I hated the rock star Niko (well, I hated him right through the book actually) and even though at times our main girl Josie could be a great character, she would again capitulate to Niko's wants and I was left rolling my eyes thinking "stupid girl".

And at times I did think about putting this to my DNF pile

But after this far in I don't like to give up. And when Josie left the band, I felt that for me the story took a turn for the better and I did enjoy it.

Josie is a complicated girl. Straight A student headed off to college, she rebels and runs away from it all and becomes the life of the party.

And then there is the "hero" of the book, JQ. We don't even really see him in the book until well after half way through the book, except for vague thoughts from Josie. I would really liked to have had more of him in the book.

Uhg, I am making this sound like I didn't like this book at all, but that is not the case. Yes, I did have a few issues with it, but these could just be my problems, so don't let them stop you from reading it.

#Kissing was an interesting tale of a little girl lost finding her way back to her true self. It is not always an easy read, and there were some things and characters I didn't like, but overall I did like the story.

I wonder if Ms Brixton will bring us more of these characters in the future?
