**This review originally appeared on my blog, That Artsy Reader Girl.**Audrey, Wait! is one of those hidden gems that hardly anyone seems to know about. I know I have heard very little about lately, what with all the buzz for new releases lately. This story is hilarious and so much fun, and I am so glad I read it!1. The idea behind the story is magical. We've all dumped someone, but I'm pretty sure not all of us became a band's muse because of it. I'm also confident in saying that not all of us have a hit song written about us. This is Audrey's life, and her story is so funny.2. I love how the entire book is Audrey talking to the reader. She wants us to hear her side of the story, since we obviously read all about it in People magazine and saw it on the news. As she is telling us her story, she adds additional parenthetical thoughts like "(I'm sure you've heard The Song by now.)" I really liked the fact that we were included. I felt like I was hearing about this over junk food at a sleepover.3. Audrey is someone I would have been friends with in high school. She is down to earth, funny, a little eccentric, a music lover, and she marches to the beat of her own drum. And honestly, she handled this overnight fame like a pro. All she did was dump her boyfriend! That's it! And all of a sudden she's being asked for autographs, hit on by celebrities, stalked by the paparazzi, and ripped a part by teeny boppers on online message boards. I loved, loved, LOVED her voice. She is just so funny! This is my favorite quote, and sums her up in as few words as I can think: "Oh Jesus, they had heard the song.
