REVIEW - Aimee and the Heartthrob (Backstage Pass #1) by Ophelia London


The Book
Release Date: 14 April 2015

He never noticed her before, but now she's all he can see...

Miles Carlisle is every teen girl's fantasy. His rugged good looks and exotic British accent have helped catapult his boy band, Seconds to Juliet, to super-stardom. But after two disastrous and very public breakups, Miles isn't interested in dating just any girl; he wants The One. And the only girl he's interested in is not only his best friend's little sister - and off-limits - but won't even give him the time of day...

As a kid, Aimee Bingham had a huge thing for Miles...until he made fun of her for always tagging along. Now that she's outgrown both him and her pigtails, the prospect of spending two weeks on tour with the childhood crush who broke her heart isn't exactly enticing. Except now Miles seems interested. Very interested. And no matter how hard Aimee tries to resist him, her crush is definitely making a comeback. But everyone knows that falling for a heartthrob is a backstage pass to heartbreak...

My Review  3 STARS
**Copy Provided by Netgalley and Entangled Publishing, LLC, for an honest review**

I am trying to get through the YA books on my kindle as i seem to have aged out of most of them and this one has been one my kindle for some time. 

It is a decent read with a brothers best friend trope and Aimee has always had a thing for Miles, pretty much from the moment she first saw him when he was twelve.  Having created fan fiction and being the first major fan, when Miles win a singing contest and enters a band, her older brother tells her something that breaks her heart.

Two years later her parents are joining Doctors without boarders early and make a very reluctant Aimee join her brother on the road with Miles and his band.  Miles's mother is Aimee's mothers best friend and has agreed to look after her, even though she is busy. 

Miles does not recognise Aimee when he first sees her and it is only when Aimees brother tells him its his sister does the realisation come for Miles, he wants her and cannot stop thinking about her.

Both are already hurt in the past by others and at first set out to be friends only, but we all know how that goes when there are hormones involved. As usual it is a misunderstanding on both ends and a reluctance to talk about things that has them upset and split.  It is only on talking to others that they realise their mistakes and manage to get back together for their HEA.
