I like Kassidy Milton. There, I said it. She’s funny, beautiful—even though she doesn’t know it—and my favorite kind of weird. But I can’t tell if she’s into me or just trying to get close to me for a chance with my famous twin brother instead. I mean, it has to be me. I am the better-looking one.
But Kassidy has some demons, and she’s not good at letting people in. That happens when you’ve been hurt by someone close to you. I can relate. Trust is a funny thing; it’s hard to gain but easy to lose. I might just learn that the hard way.
Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book includes a snarky heroine, a swoon-worthy hero, crazy best friends, your favorite music, and lots of feels.

Why have I never read Amber Garza before? I loved I'M NOT IN THE BAND so much that I read it in one sitting! That says a lot doesn't it? Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down and was so involved in all the characters lives. Kassidy Milton ...more

When I started reading I'm Not in the Band by Amber Garza I thought this is just another teenage Rockstar novel. And actually that is just what this book is NOT. Because we are not reading about the famous Rockstar that meets a girl.

When a book starts out with the characters going to a concert, then it is my kind of book.

Even though the book isn't about the guy in the boy band, ...more
I'm Not in the Band is cute but not as fluffy as I initially expected.
This is my first book by Garza and I really like her writing style. The story is told from Kass and Archer's POV. While Kass's POV is told in the first narrative, Archer's is narrated through social media posts and messages. At f ...more

Sweet, romantic mystery, and a page-turner to boot, this coming-of-age story was very well-told.

I cannot begin to imagine the stress that would come with being a twin of a super star. As the oldest of four, two of my siblings being boys, there were plenty of girls who were just friends with me to get close to my brothers.
