Summary from Goodreads:
Seventeen-year-old Kat
Hartland loathes Unrequited, the world's biggest boy band. Is she the only girl
in Sydney who can't be bothered with perfect-looking Angus Marsden?
Give her 5 Seconds of Summer. Now.
Or maybe the seriously-hot med student who rescued her on a train—and who could be Douglas Booth's twin! Perfect formal partner, much?
But when Kat comes face to face with Angus Marsden himself, things start to get complicated. Very. Throw in a deranged female popstar, final exams, a part in the musical and a mum who just doesn't get it—and where is her best friend?
When did life get so crazy? Kat's just an ordinary schoolgirl.
Isn't she?

Excerpt :
She tears away
the tissue paper and exposes the music score. Sitting at the piano, she places
it on the music stand and takes a deep breath.
The first few
bars are hers. Half the song is hers, actually … and then …
Wow.
Wow.
She has to pause
while she breathes the melody in for a minute. It’s good. Better than her
original. Annoyingly good …
Who wrote this??
There’s no-one
around to sing the male part, but she can hear it in her head. It’s perfect.
It’s like a professional has picked up her amateurish scribblings and worked
magic on them, and that’s both sort of brilliant and sort of sad …
I also wanted to
say, you have a beautiful voice.
Yeah. Really?
Believe that and
you could be a star one day.
She so could not
be a star. Let’s face reality!
If you want to
get in touch …
Um … with a
random stranger? But the song works. It more than works. It works in a
way that makes her think for a second that she could almost be on the brink of
something real. But honestly, writing a song—even a good one—is one
thing. Performing it? She’s always wanted to compose, but she’s never really
wanted the spotlight. Or, maybe if she’s truly honest, she has, but
she’s always been terrified of it.
