Stardust

Train Wreck #1

by Meg Buchanan

It was Train Wreck that made us. And Train Wreck finished us too. But a lot happened in between.
First there was Stardust, that song was the beginning.

It all started the day Collins gave me the journal.

“Write what you know,” he said.

Trust a bloody teacher to come up with a cliché.


But, I did what he said.

Wrote about watching Jess.

Because, that’s what I did then,

Watched her, yearningly, thirsting.

Jess, with eyes the green brown of a bush stream.

Hair flowing and curving softly.

A sort of peanut butter and dark honey colour.

Her hand touches her lips.

A stray strand of hair,

Gets tucked behind her ear.

I imagine her touching me in that slow way.

Feel her fingers in my hair.

Her palm on my cheek.

In my mind, I reach out and touch her, and she touches me back.

I feel her fingernails run down my chest.

But, she never saw me, I was invisible to her.
Stardust is the first book in the Train Wreck A Rockstar, coming of age romance series.

A coming of age book that tackles lots of issues. From the blurb you think it's a romance book and that it's about those two characters. It isn't. It's strictly about all 5 high school kids, their band and the girls they date. Most of the chapters are about the two characters in the blurb but all the band members take over with their POV. Don't expect a HEA, in fact it ends in a cliffhanger and I didn't really care for it. Why would anybody want to keep reading to find out if somebody is a cheater? The way it goes and his past "temptation" leads me to believe he is. So not a good way to end a book. I would have enjoyed it more if his story ended and then start book two fresh with the another band member. Plus that love triangle was totally uncomfortable. Three stars because at some points it read like a slow motion movie and I didn't really feel like rooting for the characters.
I received a free copy of this book and I voluntarily reviewed it.

I'm not real wild about reading books that go from one person's point of view to another and back and forth but this is one of those books but it isn't just two people it is five! I admit I had to go back to the first of a chapter to see who I was reading about. It was an okay book but it also ended in a cliffhanger my number two least liked book. But it is worth the read.

Nice story

I was wondering when the music and band would come in to the story. Isaac was really too young for the life he was thrown into. Then he played with fire with Laura and the girls. He made himself think he was innocent but he wasn't. I hope there is more on the band and I hope Isaac doesn't stop playing.
