Sing audiobook

Reading Sing felt like reading about a summer in Taylor Swift's life, mixed with the Hannah Montana movie. It was utterly adorable. I flew through this in one sitting. It was simple in plot and writing and I really enjoyed that about it. It wasn't trying to be anything other than a cute contemporary romance, as that's exactly what it was and it worked! There weren't any mind blowing plot twists or secrets but that's what made it such a lovely, easy, feel good read read. I loved the element of music and that, despite having a world famous singer as the protagonist, it wasn't all about fame etc. I really warmed to its cast of characters and enjoyed the relationships and friendships within this. It also had a really lovely f/f relationship which was great to see in a contemporary!All in all this was an adorable, feel good read, perfect for if you want a pick me up! (Also perfect for anyone, who like me, can't help but love the Hannah Montana movie...)

I really loved this book! I wasn't really sure that I would but I had so much fun reading this book! I thought the concept was really different and interesting. I loved the characters so much! I thought Lily was really likeable and relatable, even though she's a famous singer. I read this in pretty much one sitting and I just really loved it. I can definitely see myself rereading Sing.

I read this in one sitting. It was absolutely wonderful and has earned a space on my ultimate faves shelf. The romance is beautiful and this is the perfect summer read focusing on a popstar who wishes to take a break from the limelight. As you can imagine, it's not as easy as she once thought.I have been singing myself for 11 years now and so I can sympathise with Lily's dire need to just be creative, I felt she was very real and authentic. (Probably because I think she's based on T.Swift).Hopefully we'll get a sequel one day!P.S Most beautiful cover ever.

So I'll be honest, when I read the synopsis of this book I really didn't expect to like it as much as I did! I will say that it made me as happy as I expected. It had a simple plot, with some nice characters, and it would make the best watch-when-you're-feeling-down-with-a-tub-of-ben-and-jerry's-ice-cream film, ever. It kind of reminded me of the classic Miley Cyrus films (like The Last Song) and there was something comforting about that. When I put this book down I had a huge smile on my face and that's important, right?There were a few things about the main character did that upset me. She said that she wasn't going to go and get involved with another guy, and she does. She's a bit cruel to her friends and doesn't realise the impact that her fame has on those around her but though their isn't much character development on her part, I did end up liking her a lot more as I got further through the book! .I loved that Sing contained a lot of different types of relationships (toxic ones, loving ones, friendships, parent/child, etc) and it made the love story more interesting and helped us get to know more of the characters than just Lily. .My favourite part of the book was getting to read about how Lily wrote her lyrics for her new album. She heard stories from where she was and developed them into these beautiful songs. It was something that I hadn't seen before in YA! .I gave Sing by Vivi Green 4/5 stars and would recommend it to anyone who loves a good contemporary! If you're a fan of Jenny Han then this book might be for you!

This was a beautiful, gorgeous, wonderful, lovely book, and I enjoyed it so much that I couldn't stop reading it until it was late at night. :D I just love books about singers, actors, models, and this one is all about a singer and her life. Lily goes through heartbreak after heartbreak. Every time she thinks she met someone who really understands her, really gets her, and doesn't mind that she is famous and isn't always around, or is busy. She thought this was the case with Jed, but sadly Jed wasn't the man she hoped he was. All of the sudden she is alone again. I felt sad, and sorry for her, because it must hurt, finding out that maybe you are just going to be alone for all life. I know the feeling oh so well. :( Thankfully I found someone who proved I didn't, but before him? I knew that feeling very well.But Lily doesn't let herself be down, she also doesn't write songs about heartbreak, however, she needs a plan. Her new cd/tour is all about love songs, all about Jed. And well, as you can imagine that isn't such a good plan now the relationship is over. So she decides to take a break, go on a vacation with her friends, go to an island, be isolated, try to get her life back on the rails, try to find lyrics that aren't all about love, romance, heartbreak. You can however imagine her manager's reaction when he finally finds out that his star is now taking a break, and isn't even sure that she will come back/have songs/will do the tour. I did find Lily's going on vacation a bit unprofessional. I know she didn't want all those songs, I know she had a rough time, and yes, I can imagine she wants to find her roots, and get her life back, but I did think it was better had she just talked it over with her manager. Some things you just can't do any more when you are working, or when you have responsibilities. And yes, that might have meant she couldn't have just gone on a vacation, so, yeah, I guess the book wouldn't have existed then. :DI really loved the time on the island, I could just imagine the island, imagine the water surrounding it. Imagine myself eating all the lovely fishy food. Imagine enjoying, relaxing, and having a good time. I was happy to see how Lily changed, to see her become happier with each passing day. Sure, she still worried, she still had a job to do, but she also did a lot of fun things. It also must have felt like a relief not being stalked by paparazzi or getting tackled by fans that often. Finally she could do things without having to worry about such things. She could just be herself. Have fun with her friends.The whole Noel thing? Well, I did have to say I found it a bit too soon and it really clashed with what Lily had said, and also promised to her friends. You weren't going to instant fall in love with a new guy. You weren't supposed to just do a rebound again. I don't know, for the first part I just didn't like the romance. Sure, it was cute, it was adorable, and I was happy for both characters. HOWEVER, Lily did get to the island to get away from it all. And she spots one hot dude and instant romance. What?And why did she have to lie about stuff to her friends? I found it a bit too much, and I didn't particularly like it. Yes, I can imagine why she did it, but I don't approve of it at all. Later on, when everything is out, I did love the romance between Noel and Lily. They made such a cute couple and I was just squeeing and awwing at everything. Noel didn't treat Lily like all the other guys, starstruck/etc., he treated her like a normal girl. They did stuff together that was just fun, and very romantic. Stargazing, fishing, swimming, and more. I just love those parts. Of course near the end we get some conflict (nope no spoilers from me), while it did frustrate me a bit, I did like that it was added as it gave the book some extra depth. And then what happens afterwards just made it all much more rewarding. The songs that Lily was able to write? They are just perfect, I can imagine that people love her stuff. And of course I was also happy for Lily that she was able to write a whole bunch of new songs. As for the ending? I loved it, it was different from what I had thought it might be (though of course there were enough hints). I am really happy for all the characters, they all deserve their nice endings.All in all, this was a gorgeous book, and I will definitely re-read it someday soon again. I would highly recommend this one!Review first posted at https://twirlingbookprincess.com/

This book has been exactly what I needed. I haven't read anything contemporary in a while. Its all been either really dark and heavy or fantasy. Which, don't get me wrong, I do love, but this has been such a breath of fresh air. And so so much fun. Lily Ross is a pop icon, but she isn't very lucky in love. Having her heart broken countless of times its happening to her again. This time she wants to handle things differently and when her friend suggests spending some time at her house on a small Island, Lily is convinced its the right thing to do. She wants to write new music ready for her upcoming tour. Together with her two closest friends she is loving her time on the Island, most of all because it appears to be the only place where she can be truly herself. When Lily meets Noel she finds herself falling for him, fast and hard. He couldn't be more different from all the boys she has dated before. But what will happen when Lily's life will catch up to her. Can Noel handle everything that comes with dating a pop icon? Lily will have to make a hard choice between her music and the new happiness she found on the island. This has been such an enjoyable read. It was light, easy and quick to read. I have liked all the characters very much, most of all Noel, of course. But what I really enjoyed the most is the friendship between Lily and her two closest friends. I don't think its ever a bad think to fall in love a lot, quite the opposite. It takes courage to fall again after you had your heart broken, time and time again. But also what better feeling is there then falling in love with someone for the first time. That is one reason I have really enjoyed Lily. Greene has captured falling in love in a really heart warming and believable way. I love the idea of the Island, it sounds like the perfect place for me. All I would have to take with me is my kindle packed with books and I could be very happy in this idyllic place. What I also loved about Lily is how down to earth she is even tho her success is so huge.This has been an adorable book about falling in love, music, home, friendship and finding yourself. Great fun that will put a smile on your face and warm your heart. Thank you to Maximumpopbooks for my review copy.

While I'm not part of Taylor's Squad or whatever, I can appreciate what she's accomplishing culturally and I find the constant attention to her personal life to be fascinating even if the details don't matter much to me. Sing absolutely takes advantage of that cultural zeitgeist (up to and including the obvious cover) and succeeds extremely well in the process. The story follows one of the biggest pop singers in the world months away from her next tour. Her album is coming out and it's basically about her boyfriend, but they just broke up, so Lily heads to a small island to get away from it all and maybe write some new songs there. She, of course, meets another boy and things are hit off a bit, and the story quickly becomes about this balance between work, fame, and love.It's a surprisingly quiet book for this genre and age group, which was sort of refreshing. You got a good sense of the speed that things move on these small island/coastal towns (I could absolutely picture this taking place on Cape Cod), and while the book doesn't throw you much in the way of curveballs, this felt different enough across the board where I fully enjoyed it from start to finish.Definitely worth your time if you're into the contemporary YA stuff. A fun, solid read.

Acabo de terminarlo y soy un mar de emociones. Amé cada parte de este libro al punto de no querer parar de leer. Lily Ross me recuerda en muchos sentidos a Taylor Swift y en otros no tanto, su personaje comete errores y vive con mucha presión día tras día al ser la megaestrella del pop. La portada, la relación tan estrecha con sus fans, Nueva York, ir al gimnasio, enamorarse TODO el tiempo, componer sus propias canciones, compartir su vida con el mundo entero, su pasión por la cocina, los grandes festejos del 4 de julio, los paparazzi, su squad de amigas, las gaviotas y la playa a lo 1989, ser diferente a los demás en la secundaria, grabar canciones en su teléfono, ser mala conductora de autos, las referencias a situaciones que pasan en algunas canciones de Taylor, son sólo algunas partes del por qué Lily es tan Taylor. Es una lectura ágil, rápida y sencilla, ideal para este verano en la playa!!No voy a spoiliar nada pero el final me dejó con muchas sensaciones a la vez y es una de las cosas más lindas de este libro *-*

Só comprei porque imaginei que seria a melhor fanfic já escrita sobre a vida de popstar da Taylor Swift. Acabou que a Lily Ross conseguiu se destacar com autenticidade e amei tanto quanto imagino que teria amado se eu sempre tivesse enxergado a Taylor narrando.

That ending was unexpected but very satisfying!

https://thebooksareeverywhere.com/201...Ah I'm back with another review! It's been a crazy few days and the only thing I seem to be able to do is read, I'm finding it so hard to focus on anything other than a good book.I liked this book a lot, but I feel like I actually shouldn't. This one feels like such a guilty pleasure! It's somehow addictive, and I had no idea I would be so invested in the story.Books about singers tend to always be cliche, and this one sounds no different. And in a way, it was cliche...but like I said, it was also a guilty pleasure and one I couldn't put down."We don't get to be normal."The things that really stood out about Sing are the writing, the characters and the setting. The small island where most of this book is based was absolutely perfect, and it complemeneted the story really well. In fact, I really love how Vivi included the location and intertwined it in the story. It really made the book feel summery and like a vacation!I have to admit I adored Noel and found him very honest and a total sweetheart. If I have any gripes with this book other than the cheesiness, it's how Lily treated him sometimes and how he would just jump straight back to her."I'm just the fool who keeps trying."The only other issue I have with this book is the whole pop-star-on-vacation thing. Like, it's not like actual people in the industry can just do that, have their best friends work for and live with them or have managers that just...accept everything. Frankly, it doesn't work like that. But then again, this is fiction...and Lily is one ficitional character who is just incredibly lucky.I did find the plot very simple, but I think that's actually exactly what this book needed. As long as you go into it knowing it's going to be totally cliche but utterly heartwarming, this book is everything you could want and more.So this book might not be the most exciting, action-filled or fast paced. It was completely predictable and not the most complicated out there. But all of this cheese worked together and made for an easy-to-read, addictive novel.★★★★-BethMay your shelves forever overflow with books! ☽

Pop star perspective - of her life, loves and friendshipsWe've all wanted to know what it must be like, being a famous singer, pop star, idol to millions. Lily Ross takes on this role, becomes the name of the star whose every move is analysed, gossiped over and photographed for the entertainment of the world.And we get to see behind the scenes. As her boyfriend (also a well-known star) breaks up with her. As she fails to bounce back and decides to take a break from it all for a summer. And tries to find a new voice for herself - and possibly a new love...A great story for teenager readers. Lily is nicely written, an everygirl who worked hard and had raw talent, and is now enjoying fame but missing anonymity and privacy when it comes to her personal life. She is no diva - her employees are friends from school, loyal and honest, who complement her as characters and are seen to have their own lives and wishes. It's not just about becoming a star and never worrying about life again.Everyone has their problems, even those with privileges. The usual idea of 'searching for yourself' is covered here but it's not too stereotyped, and her potential new love interest has a spark and personality that doesn't always develop in books aimed more at the female teen market.It also ends in a distinctly 'different' way, more realistic than I was expecting, I was pleasantly surprised.Loved all the characters, the descriptions of preparing for a tour, creating an album, life as a pop star. Lily is very aware of her fanbase and their role in her success, but remains a down-to-earth young woman, one who isn't resting on her laurels. A good role model.Nice little story, a read to encourage talented young women that it is their own work and skill that can get them what they want.
