The Guy, the Girl, the Artist and His Ex by Gabrielle Williams
3.0
3 1/2 stars
I loved Beatle Meets Destiny, but The Guy, The Girl, The Artist and His Ex didn't resonate the same way with me.
More of a farce than a really humorous book, I felt that the story was walking a fine line between young adult and new adult - and kept sliding off.
There are some really tense OMG moments, and the romance between the teens is well-handled. But the adults gave me the pip, and I felt they intruded on the 'real' story. Scheming, immoral and unsympathetic for the most part.
The plot was tricky, with many threads to be collected together at the end, and perhaps this contributed to the lack of cohesion.
My advice is to not take my word for it - read it yourself and see what you think.
