Review Detail

You know that song " Hey, Delilah" by the Plain White T's?  Audrey, Wait! kind of reminds me of that song.  Audrey, Wait! by Robin Benway is the story of Audrey, a regular girl that breaks up with her musician boyfriend, who then writes a hit song about her.  She's not so normal after that!  When "Delilah" came out a few years ago, the press was clambering for information about THE Delilah.  I think there was even a story about her in Entertainment Weekly.  The same thing happens to Audrey.  Her life is taken over by papparazzi, crazy fans, and picture-taking classmates.  Her life goes from flirting with James, her Scooper Dooper co-worker and going to concerts with her best friend Victoria, to hiding out in bathrooms and being a YouTube phenomenon.  It is one heck of a ride!

I loved the concept of the book.  I loved Audrey and her friends!  The story moves very quickly and the writing is fresh, light, and hilarious!  I love the sarcastic comments and pop culture references!  I didn't love the language.  I definitely could have done without all the F-bombs.  This book is definitely for older readers.  If you can get past the language though, it's a pretty sweet and entertaining ride!
