When I first heard Entangled was doing a series like this one, I was so onboard. I absolutely love all things music and boybands. I could relate to Aimee on so many levels, but the main one being that I ALSO wrote fanfiction when I was in high school. And I totally put it out there on a website. (No, don't ask I will NOT share. Rofl.) I was obsessed with all things Backstreet Boys and then Nsync, so reading about Seconds to Juliet was so much fun and reminded me of when I was younger. I read a lot of fanfiction as well, so following Aimee on tour with S2J was right up my alley!

 

This was just such a fun book. London does a great job employing teen voice and even had me chuckling several times at their vernacular. My favorite part of this book besides the touring setting? The romance. Miles and Aimee are adorable and I love the whole fighting their feelings they have going on in the beginning. Aimee hates feeling like the annoying little sister in Miles' eyes and Miles can't believe how much Aimee has grown up since he last saw her. He knows he can't violate the guy code of honor though, so his less than appropriate thoughts about Aimee are going to have to go on lockdown. Aimee doesn't know many people on the tour though, so she ends up spending quite a bit of time hanging with Miles and once he clears up a previous misunderstanding, they're on their way to becoming friends. Thankfully, Miles doesn't keep them in the friend zone very long! There is so much kissing in this book that my heart was ready to burst. I always feel like there's not ENOUGH kissing in books! There was plenty here and even a few scenes that had me fanning myself. (YOU GO GIRL FOR PUTTING THOSE IN THERE!) Whew.

 

Sure, their romance progressed pretty fast and some may call it insta-love, but let's not forget they are teenagers and it doesn't take much for a teen to fall in love. Miles and Aimee enjoy being together as well as the feelings they evoke in one another. They are just too precious and I loved them. We do have a wee bit of drama where things are miscommunicated and conclusions are jumped, but I felt it was enough of a conflict without going overboard.

 

I also enjoyed getting to meet the other band members, as each book of the series will highlight a different one. Next up is Mia and the Bad Boy! (RYDER!) His book should prove to be quite amusing, as he's the quintessential bad boy of the group and doesn't have much of a filter. We also get to see quite a bit of Trevin in this book, as he seems to be the closest bandmate to Miles. Mia's older brother Nick was also an important character, as Nick ends up being one of the roadblocks in the Aimee-Miles love connection. Miles doesn't want to betray his friend's trust as Nick has warned Miles to steer clear of his sister. Miles met Nick during a really low point in his life, and Nick's friendship ended up being a real positive influence for him. It's understandable he doesn't want to ruin that, but he also isn't going to deny he feels something real for Aimee. Go Miles!

 

Thank you Entangled for allowing me to relive my boyband obsessive years through this series. I now have the urge to go make myself a boyband playlist on Spotify and hunt down some of my favorite boyband fanfiction. Don't judge me.
