"Just a fun read!"
Jonathan Kent
"The book is a light tone even when discussing more serious topics. Cash Carter was entertaining person to read about sometimes. He is sarcastic and saids things that you wouldn’t expect to hear. Some of his lines are really clever. <br/><br/>The story line was predictable. Kids go on road trip with a famous guy. He isn’t what they expected. He some how gets them to do stuff that they shouldn’t and some how make there lives better. <br/><br/>The problems that the teens had weren’t brought up much. It was kinda just there so that Cash can solve their problems and make their life better. <br/><br/>This book kinda bashes fans in the head as a whole. So many times Cash talks about how bad his fans are. He talks about how he got death threats. How no one sees him as a person except for the group of friends. I find that hard to believe that not one other person sees him as a person and not a actor.<br/><br/>The ending was too tied up in a bow. Yeah that one event did happen but the kids lives ended up being better because of it. <br/><br/>It only bothered me in the beginning but i didn’t enjoy the Fangirling. That was just because i didn’t get what the show was supposed to be about. Every time they got deep into conversation about the show i was confused. <br/>"
