Thoughts:
Quinn a.k.a Pricilla (don't call her that or she'll get upset with you) is an 18 year old girl who loves music, especially indie rock. It's the summer before she's going off to college and she wants to go to a city with a music scene (Austin) and find a dream guy, The Supreme, to have a summer fling with. Thank goodness she gets a job (or does she?) working for the label of her favorite indie rock band The Walters. When she arrives in Austin she finds this summer might not be so great. She has to stay with her cousin who it turns out is your typical sorority girl. How is she going to stand that all summer? Oh then there's that itty bitty problem with her "job" and what about that annoying a-hole wannabe cowboy next door? But then there's that REALLY cute guy..so maybe summer won't be so bad. :D
Lovestruck Summer was such a CUTE read! This is one of those books that you want to read as a pick-me-up. It's short, light and fun. I know that a LOT of covers that are like that are usually those super predictable books (you know which ones I'm talking about) but this one is not like that. I'll admit some things were kinda predicatable, but it didn't ruin the story. It's really enjoyable-for a short read-so go read it!
One great thing about this book was the changes that Quinn goes throughout the book. I really loved that! I myself have met people just like her. People that are all "I love indie music! Ugh I can't believe that song I love is all over the radio now, I knew about it way before everyone else grr" and people that are not really open to other kinds of music because it's too mainstream or whatever. I'm glad Quinn changed for the better not just about her music tastes (I love all kinds of music thankyouverymuch) but about her guy tastes too (that sounds funky hehe). I won't say too much about this transformation of hers because I don't want to ruin it for anyone, but trust me, it's cool. :)
This is the part where I squeal about the ADORABLE romantic scene. Okay, so you can't really hear me mentally squeal, but I'm doing it! hehe I just loved that moment so much, if it were a movie I'd rewind it again and again..and about 50 times more :) It was just so cute!
Overall this is one you should pick up if you're in the mood for a quick, fun and cute read.

Cool: The fact that the story takes place in Texas, my home state. I LOVED that the protagonist is basically addicted to music, just like me hehe She listens to it for different reasons but w/e it's relateable. I love anything Indie so yay! The girl's working for an independent label so of course this makes things all the more interesting.
Not so cool:
Hmm can't think of anything I didn't like other than the fact that I wish it were longer hehe Actually there's something else. *Possible spoiler. It's not something I didn't like, it's more like something that made me sad. I think it's sad that the main relationship is basically a one time thing. :(
