    About this ebook

    One kiss will change Marti's summer . . . forever.

    Marti

    Marti just wants a normal life. After dealing with her irresponsible rock-legend father and absentee mother, she only wants some peace . . . and fun. And that includes a summer at an exclusive arts camp.

    Adam

    For Adam, a normal life is not possible—not when he is the lead guitarist in a rock band with his brothers. So he's thrilled to finally have an opportunity to disguise himself and live like a normal teenager at summer camp.

    And when Adam meets Marti, sparks fly. Between romantic bonfires and stolen kisses, they are inseparable.

    Then Marti discovers who Adam truly is, and her world is turned upside down. Ever since her father nearly ruined her life, she vowed never to fall for a rocker. But when tragedy strikes, Marti is forced to look within. And she discovers that maybe falling in love with a rock star is not so crazy after all.

      This is the story of Marti Hunter, who is attending a small arts camp in Northern Wisconsin for teens to immerse herself in photography. Adam Jamieson is also attending for the same reason. He has cut off his hair and is going by the name “AJ” so no one will know he is the famous rock guitarist in his band of brothers; he just wants to have a normal experience for once.Marti is herself the daughter of a famous rock guitarist from the band Graphite Angels. But her dad is an irresponsible louche and her mother is an addict. She lives with her Grandma.At the camp, all the kids attending become Insta-BFFs. Some even pair up. Marti and AJ are attracted to one another until Marti finds out that AJ is really Adam. Because of her dad, she has a very bad opinion of rocker guitarists.So they have a love - then hate - then love thing going on, culminating in a first sexual encounter for both of them. But extenuating circumstances cause both Marti and AJ to have to leave camp ahead of schedule, and they wonder if they will ever see each other again (when not wondering if Marti could be pregnant). Discussion: This is one of several books in a series concerning a boy band and the girls with whom the members get involved. My niece turned 14 in June and she loves these books, so I wanted to read at least one in order to see what was floating her boat. The two main protagonists are 16. They and all their friends are gorgeous, relatively prosperous, and white. They think stilted thoughts and have hackneyed dialogue. "AJ’s friendly demeanor made her feel like she’d known him forever.""The sun kissed his hair with blond highlights, and a bronze tan covered his body.""When their lips parted to take a breath, Adam’s eyes turned dark with little flecks of gold passion sparkling in their brown depths.”Guys who think about their girlfriends or show them consideration are “whipped.”There is also the usual stereotypical image of the strong yet gentle boy, and the appealingly smaller and protection-needing girl:"As the sound faded, Marti stayed in AJ’s secure arms a few seconds longer. He had strong arms and a solid chest, as if he could protect a girl from anything. ... He held her gently and she began to cry. … Her tiny body shook as the tears fell.”As noted above, Adam and Marti, barely out of pre-school (at least from my adult perspective) quickly graduate to having sex. Unprotected even. Holy cow! But they do “learn” from this and vow never to do such a thing again, that is, without taking precautions.Evaluation: The idea of a romance with a member of a boy band will be very appealing to at least some tween readers.Note: This is number two in the series, but it reads like a standalone.

      Since I enjoyed the first book so much, I didn’t hesitate in picking up the second book. It is clear that all the Jamieson Brothers have a clear voice. But for me, this story didn’t hit me as hard as I thought it would.Characters: My problem with this book was the characters. For me, there wasn’t much intimate moments where the reader can really get into the characters shoes. Instead both Adam and Marti began their relationship with half-truths, and never really getting to the bottom of things. They allowed others people or stuff to do the revealing for them. However, after reading the first book, you can tell that each brother has their own personality that makes them unique. They each have their moments that brings the brothers together yet sets them apart. Some are more mature than others. Nevertheless, they are always they for each other.Love: Because of the lies that were told, their love felt a bit rushed. One moment they are yelling at each other and the next their making goo-goo eyes. Rushing their love disappoints me. I love romance. And I hope that they would have precious moments to themselves that i can enjoy. It’s why I adore contemporaries so much.Drama: One good thing this book does contain is a great amount of drama within themselves and family. Both come from musical families with siblings, so they have a better understanding of each other. (I mean, they are so similar there was no reason to lie in the first place but whatever) still, these two definitely connect on levels with each other. The family aspect in this book I adore. There aren’t much YA books that use family as a strong hold. Bravo!Overall, I enjoyed this book. Snapshot takes the reader into an original but different Jamieson brother. Compelling with drama and great family dynamics, Snapshot refocuses on making mistakes and falling in love. With effective real issues that any reader could relate to, Snapshot is great.
