Well, Audrey has one\u2014or rather had one. She just broke up with Evan, actually\u2026who decided to drown his sorrows by writing a song about the breakup. A little while later, at their next concert, Audrey and her best friend Victoria are shocked when the band breaks into a little tune called &#8220;Audrey, Wait!&#8221;The next thing Audrey knows, she\u2019s catapulted into the wrong kind of stardom as That Girl Who Broke Up With Poor Evan. Not such a great daydream anymore. The paparazzi are following her around, Victoria\u2019s acting like it\u2019s all an awesome adventure, and even James, the shy boy with a crush on her who works with her at the ice cream shop, isn\u2019t sure how to deal with her. And Evan\u2014well, he\u2019s famous and he\u2019s living the dream, and he\u2019s so out of reach there\u2019s no way to tell him he\u2019s made her life a nightmare. Not that she\u2019d want to talk to him, anyway.If you enjoy music and concerts, you\u2019ll appreciate the giddy atmosphere and song-infused style of Robin Benway\u2019s Audrey, Wait! But it\u2019s also got a hilarious premise, a funny and likeable and very down-to-earth narrator, and enough snowballing hijinks to keep the pace moving quickly all the way to the inevitable confrontation at the end.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/aff\/readersrant7?product=9781595141910\" target=_blank>Buy <i>Audrey, Wait!<\/i> from an independent bookstore near you!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This title was a 2008 Cybils YA Finalist.Doesn\u2019t every high school girl daydream of having a boyfriend who\u2019s in a band?
