Amber Road is back with all new couples -- but the band is still the same. Everyone seems content with the outcome..well, almost everyone.
Sienna is happy that she and Mark have moved on, since for some reason they were never right for each other. Now Carter is in the picture. But Sienna can't be trying to get with him, especially when Tracie wants him back. For Sienna, it's Tracie's loss, since she was the one that decided to give up Carter for Aaron. It's anyone's game.
Tracie is totally resentful of what she did; falling for Aaron was a bad mistake. Especially when all of those rumors about Aaron being a player turned out to be true. Now she just wants to forget Aaron and make Carter her boyfriend again. Sadly, this may not be easy for Tracie since it seems like Carter has moved on.
Mark is ecstatic that there are no hard feelings with his ex-girlfriend, Sienna, and that he finally got the girl of his dreams. But his dreams just might turn into a nightmare, since his actions could possibly repeat themselves.
And, well, George is still the same old loving George.
Those who enjoyed the first book in THE BAND series, TRADING GUYS, will not want to miss HOLDING ON. With even more drama, dealing with both the band and relationships, it seems like nothing can tear down Amber Road, especially with all of the success they are getting. Look out for the third book in this series, FINDING LOVE, to see what happens next.

I enjoyed reading The Band: Holding On more than the first book in the series. You get to see more of the struggles of a band making it into the music industry and the effects their person life has on them and their success. Once again it is a quick read and enjoyable if you have an interest in the music industry. I enjoyed it more during my earlier years of high school as opposed to my college years now.

This cannot be classified as a kid's book. This is for teenagers who love rock-related stories. I didn't like it very much though, because I don't understand if the story is too mature or too childish.
