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.
