The Boyband Correspondence

Rate this book
A THIRD CHANCE IS ALL IT TAKES TO FALL IN LOVE

For Beckett Laurence, fame has been adhered to his life since he was a teenager as part of the most popular boyband in the world, The Jaded Boys. With no time for relationships, making music was all he knew, and love always resulted in a disappointment than only served as inspiration for songs.

For Marina Turner, this was the same case. Attempting to fall in love always turned into heartbreak. Days turned into years. Her career was the main priority and not a single lover would come near.

But then, third time’s is a charm for both of them.

When they’re introduced by mutual friends, the private life they once knew would become a thing of the past. Now in a very public relationship, threatened by ghosts of the past that come back to jeopardize everything, Marina and Beckett will have to learn that taking a chance on love can be a good thing.

Dealing with unsent emails, unsung songs, family secrets, a tour around the world, and a boyband that keeps being the talk of town… these two will have to overcome everything to prove to themselves their love is the only corresponding thing worth fighting for.

THE BOYBAND CORRESPONDENCE is the second book in THE JADED BOYS series, by Mayra De Gracia, author of The Boyband Reconnection.

This book was simply the definition of soulmates and proves that small gestures always make a big difference.

Marina is a young and very ambitious woman. Through her not so easy past, she knows what it is like to not have much and to have made the wrong choices. Her love story is not so experienced due to her anxiety disorder. Nevertheless, she would do anything for her loved ones.

Beckett is hot, a rock star and a former member of a boy band. All his life he was used to not revealing his dating life online. Due to experience he didn't trust many people until he met Marina and she enchanted him with her kind.

Not only is the love of both characters totally sincere and loving, but also the fact that Beckett is the perfect book boyfriend makes it all the better.

My favorite from the series so far😉

Review:
I loved this story. While reading I had several flashbacks to my early fangirl days as this book explores the relationship between a Jaded Boy, Beckett, and a lifelong fan, Marina. I just enjoyed the simplicity of their love and how they overcome the challenges that fame brings with it. Light and quick reading - certainly this book is an extension of the previous one and I very much appreciate it!

Marina and Beckett fell so fast for each other, they are meant for each other, they are definitely soulmates 💕🥺. (I fell in love with this couple so bad 🤭)

Marina is the sweetest girl ever. She is independent and she is so nice. She is a good friend, a good daughter and she is the greatest girlfriend in the whole world. Beckett is one lucky guy 😉

Beckett is the kind of hero that makes you smile every time you read his POV, when he describes Marina his words are the most beautiful thing ever, he is so sweet and tender 💕

This book made me so happy, I was hoping to read it as soon as possible and I want to thanks Mayra for the ARC it was really a placer to finally read the book of one of my favorites Jaded Boys.

ARE YOU READY FOR BECKETT!?

Actually, todavía no voy a poner mi puntuación ni la reseña completa; pero les puedo decir que es lo más sano que he leído, lo más cute que me hubiese podido imaginar de una relación como la de ellos y el playlist es un chef's kiss

Marina y Beckett se ganaron un pedazo de mi corazón, su historia es hermosa, ellos dos solo se merecen cosas buenas, esta es una historia donde los vemos sanar y encontrarse en el momento indicado, pasaron por tanto para poder encontrarse pero vale la pena 🫶🏽

Marina es demasiado fuerte y me identifique con ella en muchas cosas 🥹 Y Beckett es demasiado perfecto, me daban ganas de llorar la manera en la que describe a Marina, quiero uno así para mí 😭

Ame que nos volvemos a reencontrar con Victoria y Preston 🫶🏽 También me muero por saber más sobre la historia de Travis 🤩

Si quieren leer una historia rápida, entretenida y que las derrita del amor esté es el libro perfecto.

Muchas gracias a Mayra por el ARC 🩶

I read the first book in the series a while back and fell in love instantly with the characters. This sequel was certainly no exception. I absolutely adored Beckett and Marina and finished this book in only 4 days! Mayra's fictional universe where this band exists truly takes you to a new place. What I liked most about this book was the communication between both characters. It's refreshing to read this in a romance novel. I cannot wait to see what's in store for the rest of the characters in this world.

Hacia mucho que no leia una historia tan bonita y sana, con 0 toxicidades.
La trama fue adictiva y entretenida como la primera pero 100 veces mejor. Me gustó como se desarrollo en general el libro, como se contaron los pasados de los protagonistas y el enlace que hubo con el primer libro.
Los protagonistas me encantaron, aunque a veces se me hacia un poco molesto que Beckett sea tan perfecto y buen novio jajaja pero lo adoré. Marina me gustó mucho, me sentí identificada con ella. Lo que más me gustó de su relación fue la comunicación y los pequeños gestos que tenian on el otro.
Debo decir que me quede con ganas de leer la historia de Travis, asi que este no será el último libro que leeré de los Jaded Boys.

Sweet, cute, dreamy and true love.
These were the words that came to my mind when I finished reading this book.
This book is one of the sweetest thing I’ve ever read.
I must admit that coming from a person with a somewhat strong personality and that I am not specially a fan of the golden retriever and perfecto prince trope these two managed to make me sigh more than once.
I mean! we all deserve a Beckett in our lives!!

Lovely Marina has dreamed of falling in love, of being kissed, of experiencing all of her firsts with someone special, what she didn't expect was to fall in love to one of her fan crushes, Beckett from the Boy-band The Jaded Boys. I had a lot of fun with book two of Mayra De Gracia's The Jaded Boys Collection of Books. I could tell that she (Mayra) put her own feelings into this book making it a really honest read on yearning and expecting. I was also reminded of how it felt when I was a younger and also experienced rejection from a long-time crush. I wish everyone who is yet to find their one true love to experience a love as beautiful as Marinas. A girl can always hope! I can't wait to read more from this author, I know that as she experiences her own she will share with us the most heartwarming stories! If you have ever been a fan girl in the past and thought of meeting your favorite artists or boyband or even having a romantic relationship with them, do not hesitate to give her collection a shot.

El primer libro me gustó mucho y la historia en sí me gusta mucho, siento que tiene super buen potencial. Aparte de las vibes que da de One Direction 🩵.

Sin embargo, no me gustó la escritura, ni que la mayor parte del libro fuera leer sus pensamientos en lugar de verlos interactuar. Tampoco me gustó el instalove, mi problema con eso fue que pasaba el tiempo muy rápido y según los protagonistas habían ya tenido varias citas pero no lees sobre las citas y siento que lo hace un poco confuso.

Cada que me ponía a leer el libro pensaba: rayos, tengo que leerlo 🙄 y ya cuando piensas eso sobre un libro es la señal para no terminarlo :(.

I literally have no words and just so many emotions rolling thru me. This book owns me, quite amazing, if i say so.
Becks (yes, i gave him a nickname) and Marina's story was everything I didnt know I needed in my life. The most perfect sweetest story I've read in quite some time. 5/5 as always, because Mayra never misses with her books.
I was excited before reading this for the upcoming books, and now im even more, after getting to read little tidbits into some of the other Jaded Boys lives.

A lot of language/writing errors. I loved the concept of this story, but the writing and instalove and the more only hearing their thoughts instead of seeing them interact didn't work for me.

Amé demasiado esta lectura.
La relación entre Beckett y Marina es simplemente maravillosa, sana y todo lo que quiero en esta vida. Si mis expectativas ya eran altas gracias Beckett ahora están en otro nivel.
Ya en el primer libro vimos un poquito de esta pareja y desde entonces supe que necesitaba saber más de ellos, así que gracias Mayra por darme un libro entero para poder conocer a estos personajes en mayor profundidad.
Me gustó mucho cómo se dieron las cosas entre ellos, y que se encontraran cuando más lo necesitaban. Fueron capaces de ser honestos siempre el uno con el otro, incluso con temas que a veces son difíciles de hablar, pero aún así ellos se abrieron al otro para darse la oportunidad de encontrar el amor que por mucho tiempo habían buscado.
No se lleva las 4 estrellas porque creo que era importante haber puesto más drama y un conflicto a la historia. Obviamente disfrute que todo siempre fuera bonito pero sí hizo que se sintiera un poco plano.
Y ya si les gustó el primer libro, les cuento que Peyton y Victoria salen harto aquí también por si quedaron con ganas de saber más de ellos. :)
YA NECESITO LEER AL RESTO DE LOS INTEGRANTES DE LAS BANDAS.

Cuando inicie esta historia me trasladé a mi yo de catorce años que dedicaba sus días a leer fanfics de sus artistas favoritos, algo que hizo que en seguida conectara con la historia.

Los personajes son bastante sencillos, por un lado Beckett siento que es el ex integrante tranquilo, muy centrado en su música y tratando de no llamar demasiado la atención, lo cual hizo que conectara muy bien con Marina, ya que su vida era bastante similar, una chica que prefería trabajar desde casa, que amaba su comodidad y muy empatica con quienes la rodeaban.

Lo que sí debo decir que me hizo falta un poco, fue el drama dado que sentía que todo era bonito a pesar de que habían situaciones que afrontar por parte de nuestros protagonistas.

También debo decir que desde el principio pude reconocer en que irlandés estaba inspirado esta historia.

Es una historia bastante rápida de leer, en la que terminas a amando a cada uno de sus personajes y por la que por supuesto siento curiosidad por los demás integrantes.
