Audrey, Wait by Robin Benway

Over the summer, I've read the book, Audrey, Wait by Robin Benway. This book is about a girl named Audrey that breaks up with her boyfriend Evan. But she made a bad choice doing that. Because Evan wrote a song about their break up. The song is a world-wide hit. And well, she becomes a embarrassed harassed teenager that is depressed. One silly song made her life horrible. Audrey was this Gothic person, that always dreamed of being a rock star. But she was more than a star, she was a huge laughingstock. Everyone noticed her, even people that she'd never met. One thing that really sticks out of the book is that Audrey's parents are very supportive of her. No matter what they are happy about her decision. For example, they don't mind that Audrey is getting exposed to the public. Once she spoke to a reporter and went into personal details about her relationship with her and Evan. The reporter exposed all the details to the public and her parents were ok with that, they didn't give her a lecture about how you shouldn't do that. They said a message that "If the public wants to know, ok, let them know." I felt like this is a very big theme, which is don't let things get in your way, I mean how will it help others knowing about your personal life? Another thing that really sticks out, is that Audrey still has a normal life. Which is very surprising because she doesn't try to hide from paparazzi or not go outside. She pretends that people aren't staring at her or saying things behind her back. I think that is very strong. She doesn't take advance that she's popular. She didn't stop hanging out with her best friend, Victoria just because she's famous. Even thou, Victoria; her best friend is enjoying the popularity and taking advantage of the things.
