Teen Youtube song writing sensation Poppy Douglas's lead singer boyfriend Ty's been criss-crossing the country and living it up on tour for months while Poppy has been stuck in the boring suburbs, finishing out the school year.

But it's Summer now, and the best thing just happened: Poppy's royalties for writing the hit song The Kiss Off just came in. She's minted, and she knows just what she's going to blow it on.

Ty's band Academy of Lies are headlining a summer music festival, and Poppy is taking her girlfriends along for the best weekend of their lives. It's all organized: the weekend is going to be full of camping under the stars, backstage passes, VIP rooms and partying like rock stars, not to mention some long awaited one-on-one time with America's favorite front man.

Except, when someone drops out of the trip and Poppy takes the opportunity to mend a broken friendship, it doesn't quite go according to plan. And when she meets her boyfriend's BFF from another band, the paparazzi form their own totally wrong conclusions. There's also the matter of Ty's 'super fan' stalker, but the less said about her the better.

The biggest test of all comes in the form of an opportunity too good to pass up. But will insecurities and jealousy stand in Poppy's way? Can Poppy and Ty's relationship even survive it?

Life is about to get much more complicated for Poppy Douglas, but what can you expect when your boyfriend is a rock star?

Are you ready for THE best trip EVER?!

Well Poppy was too, but it turns into a bit of a catastrophe.

On the one side she is on trip with her friends, but non of them can agree, so that bit suck.

On the other side she is visiting her famous rock star boyfriend Ty, and even though they are in love, and SOOOOO cute together , then being famous is what really begins a lot of trouble for Poppy, because in the world of famous, paparazzi and glitter you change as a person, and no less Poppy.

That itself would be enough to make anyone´s head spin, but then mix in the chance of a lifetime!
Poppy meets The Debutante Dolls´s manager and get the chance to write their next album - providing that she can send them a demo that they love.
All she just need to do is write a song. Yes! That will be easy....... okay it´s not easy, but you tell me if you would be able to remain cool and collected and not do things you shouldn´t - plus you also need to add the things that DO happen just because Poppy is Poppy. Clumsy, accident prone.... really, everything that can go wrong goes wrong for Poppy, and I couldn´t help cringe for her...... and okay I laughed of her too, but shhhh don´t tell her ;)

It might not be the best trip ever, but it´s certainly very eventful and one that will be very difficult to forget.

Three words to describe the book: Summer, hilarious and Girl power.

I love all of the characters in this book.
Poppy for being Poppy. I feel with the poor girl when something embarrassing happens.
I want Mads passion for fashion
Hamish - Hallooooo, geek turned into a hottie (but is still kind of geek-ish lol). You can´t help to love him.
Nikki - which we actually have met before (you remember the boyfriend stealing ho bag mentioned in the song the kiss-off? Yeah that´s her, but all that is in the past, and her and Poppy is friends again. I liked her, and could see what Poppy sees in her. Also you hear a bit about what happened around when the kiss-off got famous from Nikki´s point of view.

It was nice being back in Poppy´s world. It´s crazy, fast paced and funny!

Can´t wait to see what´s the next adventure for her.

I strongly disliked this book. Poppy was too damn selfish and self absorbed for me. And what kind of ending was that? I could call it cliffy. I liked them together (I am not going to say who) and they had to break up! I would have liked to know how Poppy and Nikki started being friends again and what happened to some characters that were absent.

Again there was over the top drama with Poppy becoming worse and worse by every sec. I had started to worry that she would cheat Ty. Things got out of control. In the story you will find a stalker, cat fights, lots of facades, a bad break up, another break up, some weird parents and a different Ty.

Do you know what I realized? That Poppy might be in a relationship with Ty but I didn't get to see them together much. And when they were together they were fighting. I can not only fault Poppy for that but most of the times she was the reason they were fighting. Maybe if she was more focused on explaing her thoughts and trying to make Ty understand than forcing it to him things would have gone differently.

Overall I am not able to say that it was a pleasant experience reading the book and that I liked the characters. I could have found a better book to spend my Sunday afternoon and if Poppy doesn't realize some things I predict that the next book won't be a good read for me either.

First I want to say that I was supposed to post this as part of the Blog Tour last week. Unfortunately my computer had some dumbass glitch and it has been impossible for me to post it until now. I want to apologize to everyone that organized the tour and the author because I missed my date. I never do this, it's never happened before and I honestly feel terrible to let everyone down! Again, I'm really sorry, but well... here is my review. Okay, so I read The Kiss Off and I loved it. This sequel is just the freaking perfect sequel! I loved it sooo much! It was so fun and such a crazy ride. A lot of action; paps, catfights, breakups and all sorts of emotional wreckage. Also, it was a complete surprise for me that Poppy took Nikki! Then she has to take her cousin as a chaperon, ugh uncool. I love Poppy. Seriously, this girl is just the best, I swear she's my idol! No, she's not perfect, far from it. She makes a lot of mistakes, she can be selfish, and just completely irrational, but I loved that I feel like she could be me, or my best friend. A real person who makes rash decisions and can be blinded by jealousy or other things. I also love her attitude. Anyway, so yes you should totally read this because it is so good! It's great!

Full series review can be found at http://chiquitablogger.wordpress.com

SERIOUSLY, 2015?! Please tell me someone somewhere is playing a cruel joke on me. This book was 1000% better than the first and it ends in a CLIFFHANGER! And I learn Book 3 doesn't come out till 2015?! Epic. Freaking. Fail. If you liked Book 1, Book 2 is SO MUCH BETTER! I don't want to give anything away, but I called the stalker's identity from the beginning, I wish the actual song lyrics were posted in these books, and I really Really REALLY want the third book to come out, like, yesterday. Dying over here.

This book has been in my TBR since 2013. It's been so long since I read the first book that I don't even remember it all that much - not to say not at all. It basically means I dove into this book as if it were the first of the series. I can't say I loved it.

Poppy wrote the song that gave Academy of Lies their breakthrough and that comes with a big check and an invitation to watch them - and her boyfriend the lead singer - play at a festival. But nothing could ever be that simple. She needs a chaperone/driver, her friends aren't exactly getting along and this fame isn't doing her and Tyler's relationship much good either. It's a slippery slope, as the perfect summer road trip/music festival slowly turns into one big messy affair.

As I said, don't remember all that much about the first book. I remember things being good, then not so good and finally, there's a happy ending. This book doesn't really have that. While things start out okay, they go downhill fast and basically never recover, leaving me with an unsatisfactory ending. That has me most disappointed. I read books for the happy endings and the happily ever afters. Well, it's not at the end of this book.

Poppy is so focused on everything being perfect for her that she hardly considers her friends - inviting a best friend and an ex-best friend who don't get along without a second thought was a pretty shitty thing to do. She is also very focused on Tyler, and while there are some cute moments between the two of them, Poppy isn't the kind of mature main character I've grown accustomed to in more recent YA romances. She jumps at the opportunity to write a song - in about 24h - for another major group but it does mean she doesn't get to see Tyler play at all - the entire reason for attending the festival.

Honestly, I don't have too much to say about this book. It might be a good book for 16-year-old readers but not so much for 26-year-old readers. So, I'm going to leave it at my 3-star (really 2.5-star) review and move onto something else. But it's finally no longer on my TBR so YAY for that!

I loved that feeling; the feeling of being with my besties who loved me for the crazy neurotic who-thinks-too-much that I am, and not having to hide it or reign it in, not having to pretend I'm mostly sane and normal, because it simply wouldn't be as much fun if I was. I loved that feeling so hard.

No. No. No!!! 2015 before the next book comes out? No way!!! I'm not the most patient person at the best of times, but when a book ends the way this one did.... Well, I'm just lost for words!!! But, the ending did set up things perfectly for the next book. I just wish the wait wasn't so long.

Poppy Douglas has not seen her rock star boyfriend Ty for weeks since he's been touring with his band Academy of Lies. The media attention that Poppy has been receiving has finally died down and her royalty check for The Kiss Off has finally come through. She has big plans to buy herself a car and take a road trip with her two best friends to finally catch up with Ty at the music festival that Academy of Lies are headlining. But her Mum and Dad have other ideas and the only way they will let poppy go is if her nerdy cousin goes along as a chaperone. Realising that this could be the only way that she gets to see Ty, Poppy very reluctantly agrees. But this road trip isn't going to go quite the way that Poppy had hoped.

Poppy was her typical fun self in Over It. Boy, didn't she get herself into some situations. And most of the time it was under the ever watchful eyes of the paparazzi. And they were always ready with cameras in hand to capture Poppy's antics and subsequent mortification. I really loved Poppy's ease with Ty's band members and friends. But there were quite a few times that she came across as being so selfish. She seemed to quite often put her wants and feelings first. Not all the time, because she also had moments of being a great friend. But she definitely frustrated me at times. But I think she started to get a clear picture of how she was acting by the end of the book.

Before I could even get a word out, he had me pressed against the wall, and it seemed I wasn't the only one who had been looking forward to kissing someone's face off. I wrapped my arms around the back of his neck and pulled him closer to me as we kissed, long, deep and hard.

There were a few really sweet moments shared between Poppy and Ty, but I really would have liked a whole lot more. Ty was so sweet throughout the whole book. Really going out of his way to make things good and easy for Poppy. He was sweet, kind and loving. I just would have liked to have spent more time with him.

Never having been to a music festival before, I loved the picture that Sarah Billington painted. The camping and hanging out with friends, cookouts on the beach and going to all the different stages to see the different bands. I'm more keen than ever to experience something like that.

Overall, I found Over It to be a fun read that had me laughing at the characters antics on more than one occasion. For me, Ty was the standout whenever he was featured in a scene. Now the wait begins!!

3.5/5 Ty Stars.

Youtube sensation and song writer Poppy Douglas has been stuck in her home town finishing off the school year while her lead singer, rock star boyfriend has been touring the country. When her royalties cheque comes through from her song The Kiss Off, she decides to take herself and her two best friends to a music festival at the beach to celebrate....and see Ty. Mads is all over it, but when Van can't make it she decides to take Nikki with her. The girl who stole her ex boyfriend and had a song written about her. Poppy and Nikki have sorted everything out and are friends again....but Mads isn't so forgiving. With the two not getting on that's one glitch in her perfect weekend.

When her mum suggests her dorky cousin chaperones them, the only way she'll be allowed to go, she grudgingly agrees. But Hamish isn't so dorky anymore and soon Mads and Nikki have something else to argue over. As the weekend descends in to disaster with sunburn and scandal involving Gordo, Ty's bands support band, it couldn't get any worse...or could it? Ty's creepy stalker girl is determined to break the two up, and Ty isn't so happy about Poppy writing a song for another band. Can the weekend be salvaged? Is this the end for Poppy and Ty?

The book can be read as a standalone, but for those who've read the first book it continues smoothly and perfectly. Over It is action packed, there's stalkers, paps, a bar brawl (sort of), a catfight on stage, breakups and plenty of pap induced Drama. I found the book very hard to put down and read it in a couple of hours.

This is one of those books that you sit and read, and you find yourself slapping your hand over your mouth and gasping in shock thinking "NO! That did not just happen!" and you're embarassed for the character, as well as being totally hilarious and having you laughing out loud!

Poppy is kinda stupid sometimes, she does stupid things, and she makes mistakes and she can be kind of selfish, but rather than make me dislike her, it made me like her more. It made her more real, no human is perfect, but a lot of protaganists in teen books are, and that's just not real to me.

My one issue is the ending. It was seriously seriously crappy. Not cool. Especially as we have to wait til 2015 for the next book. I was expecting the book to be a cute little romance with a happy ending, but there is no happy ending, there's a huge cliffhanger, and I was really kind of disappointed with the ending. I am assuming that in the overall arc of the series, this is Poppy's low point, where the sad music plays, and she will eventually rise from the ashes. But still. It made me want to throw the book at a wall and then jump on it. But it was on my kindle and that reaction was just not viable!

Overall the book was a fast paced, humorous, romp, with plenty of cute bits, and plenty of totally oh my god cringe moments that let's be honest....totally do happen. I may have experienced a certain sunburn incident with a skull laced back top at a festival last year. I totally felt her pain. Trust me Poppy...no tan lines can be as bad as mine where!

A definite must read to while away the hours in a grey and gloomy day.

I really enjoyed Over It. I thought it was a great follow up to The Kiss off. What is cool about this series is that I feel like each of the books can pretty much be read on their own, but at the same time they go great together. There is not much overlap between this book and the first book so it took me a chapter or two to get my bearings and remember everything that happened in the first book, but once I did I was rolling. And Laughing. And basically just having a blast reading this book. Over it is a fun, and fast paced misadventure. Everything seems to get messed up for Poppy, but that is all part of the charm and fun. A lot of what I had to say in my review of The Kiss off applies to Over it as well. I think this book is not only a great read, but I think its a social commentary on the paparazzi and instant fame and maybe some of the problems each of those things can cause. It is stuff that I see all the time in "real life". And I think that still may be my favorite thing about this series. Plus, music lovers all over the place with LOVE IT!

Poppy takes some of her royalty money from her hit The Kiss Off and goes to a weekend music festival. And as you can guess, hijinks ensue all over the place. This book had me laughing out loud multiple times. I'm glad I was at home. In The Kiss off Poppy was kind of rash in her actions, and she didn't really grow out of the act first, think later mentality, but it added to the fast pace of the story and the excitement of it. I like Poppy. She behaves just like a teenager would with all of this extra attention.

The secondary characters in Over It are great as well. Poppy's friends are hilarious, and the chemistry between everyone is so good. That's not to say that everyone gets along. But all of the dynamics are a blast to read. And the writing is just as fresh as it was in the first book. Sarah Billington does an excellent job of incorporating all of the industry "lingo". There are tons of music references and bands in this book. I really enjoy reading with pop culture references like this. The ending was a bummer though. It's a cliffhanger and its making me very anxious to see what is going to happen in the next book. I think fans of the Kiss Off and music lovers will really enjoy Over It.

Poppy misses Ty as he is touring and she hasn't got to see him. She has just got a royalty check for her song Kiss Off and is planning on going to a music festival to celebrate with the girls and see Ty. The trip begins to go south in a hurry as two of her friends can't get along and she has a chaperone. Once there she has to be on her best behavior as everything she does ends up for the world to see. When she and one of Ty's friends hang out the paparazzi take it the wrong way. She isn't getting to see Ty much and he has a stalker. This trip has it's ups and downs and she and Ty may be on there way out of a relationship.

Poppy has an interesting life and she cares deeply for Ty. She has matured some from the first book as she tries to mend some friendships she has. You also see how young she is when she doesn't understand the concept of why she should watch her money. She gets some big surprises in this book. Ty I have to say I still love but I didn't like him as much as I did in the first book. He seems to want Poppy to be all about him and is jealous of her at times. He is still down to earth for a rock star.

I love how much Poppy gets into. She wants a normal life but that isn't going to happen to her. If she has one little mishap someone is standing by to take a picture. She tries her best to be a good friend in this book and I love how understanding she is most of the time. I will say this book is better than the first in some ways. You really see more of Poopy and how she acts. It's not about boys or anything but her. She has big secisions to make for such a young girl and i thionk she handles them well. I hated in some ways how the book ended, when you read it you will see why. I know what I hope to see happen to her relationship wise in the next book but I doubt it will happen. This book really leaves you wanting the next book now and I can't wait for it to release to see what happens next. If you love books you can laugh at or just flat out enjoy pick this series up.

Anticipation for book 3..... killer..... I can't wait to see what Sarah Billington has instore for us in the next novel!

I have been anticipating this second novel by Sarah Billington and was so excited to finally get to read it!!! I loved it and was so upset when it was over.... good news.... there is another one coming out.... bad news.... book 3 will not be out until 2015.... MAJOR BUMMER!

I loved reading The Kiss Off and thought it was funny but Over It has officially blown that book out of the water.... it was hilarious. Poor Poppy Douglas and all the craziness that follows her/surrounds her everywhere she goes. I still love Ty so much but sometimes guys are just completely clueless.

Poppy sets out on a journey to go visit her boyfriend Ty, who is the lead singer of a band called Academy of Lies. Poppy isn't going alone though.... she is taking her two friends Mads and Nikki with her and unfortunately at her mother's request they must all ride with her nerdy cousin Hamish. Little does Poppy know.... this isn't going to be the fun exciting trip she was anticipating because Mads and Nikki don't get along... AT ALL... and her nerdy cousin Hamish isn't so nerdy anymore.

We are also introduced to new characters in this novel... one which I thought was hilarious.... Gordo from The Himbos! Poor Gordo.... sometimes he thinks he is helping out when in reality it makes the situation look 10 times worse than it already is. The beach incident was classic and of course never went unnoticed.

There is also the crazy obsessed fan stalker that Poppy may or may not have to deal with. I should have realized who it was before we are told but wow.... she really is crazy! I guess any hard core fan could go over board at any time.

A round of applause for Sarah Billington on writing Over It. Most of the time a second book is never as good as the first one but Over It had it all and stomped The Kiss Off right into the ground!

3.5/5

I read The Kiss almost a year and a half ago and I was dying to get my hands on the sequel (which I didn't know existed initially). I was dying to read more of Ty and Poppy. They were such a great couple, imperfect yet perfectly normal. However what we find out in this book is Ty and his band are currently at the top star status (think One Direction to little teen girls). Poppy hasn't seen Ty other than through Skype for several months and when the chance to see him at a nearby music festival arises, she takes it.

Of course I knew there will be trouble in paradise. There wouldn't be a plot if the relationship wasn't tested or shaken up for us. However I became really impatient and frustrated with both Ty and Poppy's behavior. I just couldn't understand their feelings or the way they acted based on said feelings. I wished we had more scenes with the two of them but both being famous (him crazy famous while her famous by association as well as the writer of The Kiss Off) made it almost impossible for them to hang out without being interrupted.

I think what comes down to it is not my enjoyment level, because I really did like Over It (not as much as The Kiss Off but pretty close) but my problem was with the ending. When I reached the last page, I couldn't believe it and even flipped to the next page thinking there is still something. I was about to cry until I found that there is a third book in the series, then I breathed a sigh of relief but still.. I can't wait that long!
Aside from the problems with Ty and Poppy, I really liked Poppy's cousin and his situation with both of Poppy's friends. A ton of hilarious scenes are a result of these three people. Of course I can't not love Ty's band mates. I have a soft spot for them, especially how much they seem to like Poppy! I definitely recommend this contemporary series because I personally think it's different from the usual contemporaries. I personally can't wait for the third book!

Ever since Poppy met Ty, her life has never been the same. He's the lead singer of Academy of Lies, a boy band who sings her song, The Kiss Off. Everything is going great, for both her and them. Things get even better when she finally receives the royalties made off of her song.

In her mind, she knows exactly what she wants to do with the money. Sadly, her parents have other ideas. Poppy knows they mean well. They're her parents, after all, but if she's to assert herself as being independent, they'll need to let her come into her own. Getting them to see that fact is another matter entirely. Never-the-less, she's determined to live her life as she sees fit.

When word of the summer music festival reaches Poppy's ears, she realizes it's the perfect opportunity for her to spend some much needed time with Ty. She comes up with idea of taking her friends along, never imagining that things might turn out differently for all of them. Though her plans do fall into place, things are not exactly what she thought they'd be. Still, she gets to spend time with her boyfriend, and enjoy herself while she's at it.

Another great addition to The Kiss Off series, Over It is definitely a book that won't disappoint. It's refreshing to see Poppy grow up just a little bit, though she's still that rebellious teen when she wants to be. Her life may be a little hectic, but she's determined in asserting herself whenever possible. Between Ty, writing music, and fending off the paparazzi, her life isn't quite that normal. Never-the-less, she'll make do with the situations she finds herself in.

The book ends in a little bit of a cliffhanger, but I think it definitely sets things up nicely for what's to come. Will Poppy finally get her true chance at happiness? It's honestly hard to say. I look forward to what the third book has to bring, though. Hopefully, Poppy will have things go her way, once and for all.

Not quite as cute as the first book, The Kiss Off.

Poppy never really learned from her constant mistakes. I was kind of hoping Poppy would grow up in the second book a little, but I guess I can't knock it just for not being what I wanted it to be. Over It was also totally lacking in romance, which, I guess the title sort of says that, and again, that's just what I wanted it to be.

In the end, Poppy blames herself for turning into a nutjob when she's with her boyfriend, but could it maybe have been the microscope of the paparazzi they were under? Dealing with adult situations and problems without the necessary skills to cope? None of the teens in this book have the mental/emotional capacity to deal with what has happened to them, and yet the adults in the book keep throwing them to the wolves. Poppy's mom seems rational enough to say, "We need a plan." And yet....here's Poppy wandering around Bay Fest alone.

Over It was just a few too many degrees off realistic for me to believe it (even though I know that was the point of shooting Poppy to stardom). I guess the main thing was that Poppy was not a likable character. At all. She was a brat. Spoiled. Angsted. Entitled. Hormonal. But mostly just kind of stupid. And that's okay, as long as those things change by the end of the book, but I disliked her as much at the end of the book as I did at the beginning. I couldn't see why her boyfriend liked her. And he wasn't much of a winner either. Neither of them had any redeeming qualities, and only the secondary characters were remotely interesting.

Also, I couldn't grasp a theme (other than the paparazzi ruins lives, which I couldn't really apply to myself), and it ultimately left this story hollow for me.

Still, it was funny in places. And even though this book did not hit the right chord with me, someone (younger than me maybe?) will totally love it.

After reading the first book, I was excited to jump in and continue with Poppy Douglas’ story. Also…her boyfriend, Ty, is hard to resist with him being a world famous rockstar and all. ;)
Over It allows you to live vicariously through Poppy and her adventures and mishaps. It’s a fun read and fun to imagine you living this life of hiding from the paparazzi and dating a famous rockstar. But, it’s not all fun and games, as Poppy finds out when once again she makes the headlines for losing her bikini top while swimming in the ocean. (Oops!)
You can get lost in this book with all of the drama and adventure.
I will tell you that I wasn’t expecting the ending and how it left me hanging on by a thread. I need the next book now! Do I really have to wait until 2015??????? Owell, patience is a virtue, right?
This book really could be read as a standalone, but I for one, highly recommend that you read the first one, The Kiss Off, first. You won’t regret it! And even though this one left me feeling a little disappointed, I won’t let that stop me from reading the next when it comes out. I just have to know what happens next!
The life of Poppy Douglas is an interesting one and one that will surely give you laughs and a few gasps.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a book where it seems like nothing goes right for Poppy or, at least, for her and Ty. I enjoyed the continuation of the story from the first book and there were certainly parts of the book that were a pleasure to read but it didn't have a happy ending. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a horrific cliffhanger, but it was definitely bittersweet.

I think this book was supposed to be a bit of a low-point in the series. One where Poppy has to survive the very worst this lifestyle has to offer and then rise from the ashes stronger and more confident. There are certainly hints that this is the case as Poppy seems to appreciate her family and friends and certainly has a big opportunity on the horizon but... 2015? Seriously? I want to pull my hair out when I have to wait one year for the next book in a series. And given the bittersweet ending, the waiting period seems especially evil. I look forward to reading the next book but there is a chance that I will forget that this series exists in the meantime. Oh well, that's what goodreads TBR lists are for.

I think this is a book that I will appreciate more when the next book comes out.

Sarah Billingotn's new book Over Itis much better than her first bookThe Kiss Off. It is full with humour, new characters and unexpected twists and turns. We are introduced to Poppy's cousin Hamish. Each page will leave you wanting more and you won't be able to stop reading. After reading Over It you wont be able to wait for the next instalment to the 'Kiss off' series, 'All Access Pass', set in Tokyo. But sadly you may have to wait till 2015 :(
If you haven't read The Kiss Off, READ IT!
If your not to sure about reading Over It, READ IT!!

Just as I loved The Kiss Off, I love this sequel. This book is fun, Romantic and full of excitement. Is so hard to find book sequels that are as amazing as the first book.In this book like I did on the first one I loved all the characters. Ty is a hot rock star with a heart of gold,but like it normally happens Fame changed him. Jealousy blinded him. Poppy is one amazing female character, she is funny, talented and a great friend. This my sound weird but one of my favorite characters of the book is Gordo. He was always their to help poppy, and to say the truth I would of love a romance between him and poppy. I was kind of surprise they didn't end up at least kissing LOl. Well with out writing more spoilers I would say I will 100% recommend this book. But first go and buy The kiss Off than enjoy Over it.
And hurry both books are only 99 cents, Enjoy this special price while it lasts!!

Life in Poppy's world is far from dull. Even though she is connected to a rock star which is anything but ordinary, she comes across as grounded and has a down to earth personality which is a definite plus in appeal. Surreal situations that are entertaining occur frequently and add a lot of fun to this story. I felt the relationship between Poppy and Ty lacking however, I was a tad disappointed. This segment of the series leaves one peaked waiting to see just what Poppy's world will bring on next. With out a doubt it will be also be worth the read.

Wow, this was a great book. I didn't read the first one but it caught you up with what was going on. I would say it would work as a stand alone but not with the cliffhanger at the end. I spent the whole day reading it and then wanted to jump off a cliff because the next book isn't expected until 2015! I didn't expect to like it that much but it kept me interested with all the adventures and misadventures Poppy gets herself into just being a teenager. Four days chaperoned by another teenager in college not as responsible as everyone thought. Four days to turn everything in her life upside down. I received this book as an ARC from Net Galley for a review.

I loved the first book so when there was a chance that I could get an ARC for the second, I jumped on it! Although I enjoyed this book, it was a little disappointing. It isn't as great as the first and Poppy got really irritating to me. I wish I could have seen more Poppy and Ty interactions but it just seemed like everytime they appeared, they were fighting. I hated that it ended on a cliffhanger and that I have to wait till 2015 for the next book. I shall be anxiously waiting!

Thanks Netgalley for ARC
Well this book was better than book 1. I like it more and it was funnier.
So it takes place a few weeks after the end of book 1 and Poppy has decided to attend the Bay Fest Musical Festival. Since the moment they arrive everything went wrong. I don't want to spoil it because it was kinda crazy. I had a few suspicious about the stalker I could feel who it was.
I can't wait for book 3 but I really do to want to wait until 2015.

A little disappointing, nowhere near as good as the first though. Although I did enjoy the development and getting to know the character that is Nicky.
I kinda guessed the stalker, and apart from the ending which I liked and where it picked up. I was just bored.

Saying all of this I can't wait for the next one, which tells me that to some degree I must've still enjoyed the book. Hope there's a lot more going on though. And the setting of the book doesn't revolve and stay in one place.

Ein gutes Buch und eine gute Story, aber ... tja und da liegt der Haken. Hätte es Buch eins nicht gegeben, gäbe es kein aber. Es ist nicht der Cliffhanger am Ende, nein. Es sind die Erwartungen, die ich oder besser gesagt wir (vielleicht alle Leser) an dieses Buch hatten *seufz

Warten wir halt auf Buch Nr. 3 ...

I loved The Kiss Off, and I am happy to say the same about Over It.
It was just as well written, maybe even better, than The Kiss Off.

Although I wasn't too sure about the onstage cat-fight, you would have thought that Poppy would have gone around the back of the stage? And Astrid.. What a bitch!!

The ending drove me insane, I can't believe it ended like that, I need more!!

I love it. Poppy with attitude...
This book is fun to read and really once you start, you just cant put it down.
I love how all the characters have quirky ideas, and nothing gets in the way of a good time.
I would recommend this book to everyone.

Well shit. I was loving the book until Ty turned all psycho jackass, Astrid turned all psycho beeyotch, and Poppy turned all psycho PMS chick. Well! And then there was that ending. Why the heck did they break up, hot damn....

What just happened? Was not expecting what went between Poppy and Ty! I seriously need the third book now eventhough I know that Sarah isn't even starting on it yet. It hurts. To wait. Ugh.
