If you are a fangirl or once a fangirl, then you would find Serenade thoroughly enjoyable. The book is about a young career woman who went to visit her boyfriend, but ended up meeting and spending time with her childhood crush and idol. I was transported to late afternoon talks with my friend, Koi, and our day dreamings about how we would act out when we finally meet our first loves, The Moffatts.
I've finished the book in 3 hours. Yes, it's really good, so I didn't take a break at all. More than the obvious butterflies in the stomach factor, is the attention to details that the author put in which I appreciated so much. I love that it was not so cheesy and was approached in a mature and age appropriate scenario. I was pleasantly surprised by the emotions it conveyed. I was expecting eye candy scenarios from start to finished and I received more than that. If there is one critic that I have, it would be that I wanted this book to be a little bit longer, only because I had so much fun reading it.
