"If you're looking for an excellent, well-written, cute, fun YA romance read, Anya and the Shy Guy is well worth checking out. I adored it!" -Deanna, Okie Dreams Book Reviews
Anya Anderson doesn’t just need a big break, she needs any break. Living on the streets doesn’t leave a girl many options, so when she scores a gig reporting on the Seconds to Juliet tour, she jumps at the chance to earn enough money to sleep somewhere safe. And the paycheck will get bigger—and keep her off the streets for good—if she can dig up dirt on Will Fray, the irritatingly hot “shy guy” of the band.
Problem is, Will Fray isn’t who everyone thinks he is. In fact, he’s not Will at all. Matt, Will’s identical twin, is actually the guy onstage, reluctantly covering for his brother while he’s in rehab. To make matters worse, Matt’s being shadowed by a cute reporter with troubled eyes determined to get the scoop. On him. And he’s having trouble finding the willpower to keep his distance…
But if the secret gets out, it won’t just be his head on a platter—it’ll be the whole band’s.

Anya is a homeless teen who has managed to bluff her way into a gig as a reporter covering a two week stint on the Seconds To Juliet tour. Her assignment is to interview Will, the "shy" one and make daily updates t ...more
This is such a cute and sometimes heartbreaking story! And I really love how it's a bit edgier than the previous Backstage Pass books, keeping the series fresh, and readers of the series always on their toes. Mostly, though, I LOVE the romance. :) There are so many amazing scenes with these two secr ...more

Finally, she catches a break and scores a reporting gig on the Seconds to Juliet Tour, following around the Shy Guy, Will Fray. But Will isn’t really Will—he’s his twin brother, Matt. ...more

I have a crush on The Shy Guy. I have a crush on Will. I mean Matt. Yeah, Matt. Did you catch that?! Will is really Matt, Will's twin brother. When I first read that, I was all "What the what?" How did that happen? How can Matt pull it off? Who is in on the switch and how long can he keep ...more

I was given an ecopy of the ARC for this book in exchange for an honest review. Anya and the Shy Guy is an adorable romance that is perfect for a summer read. I finished it within a few hours. It's definitely teenagey and fangirly. The storyline was adorable and I found myself wanting to race throug ...more
Really enjoyed it!!!
I have so much to say, I don’t know where to start! You would have guessed from my rating that I am officially a fan of this world and these characters and the story. I finished it within 24 hours….do I need an explanation?
I will be slightly (actually, not slightly at all) compa ...more
This book is a fantastic addition to the Backstage Pass series. What I've loved so far about all of the books in this series is how independent and strong the female leads have been, and that has never been more true than in ANYA AND THE SHY GUY. Anya's backstory is so freaking compelling, and I lov ...more

I freaking love this series! I love how this story continued with the main character not even being in the band Seconds to Juliet. I thought it was a great little twist to add to the awesomeness that is the Backstage Pass s ...more
A little far-fetched but I still loved it.
Awwww you guys! While ANYA AND THE SHY GUY had a couple of tiny continuity issues and it was pretty far-fetched, I couldn't help myself. I loved it.
There's always something fun about the twin-swap in a romance and I totally fell hard for Will/Matt. If you ad ...more

Cute romance about a girl who doesn't want anyone to know who she really is and a boy who isn't who everyone thinks he is. I read it in one sunny summer afternoon. It had an "Almost Famous" meets "The Parent Trap" feel to it, and any teen who knows what it feels like to have a crush on a musician wi ...more
