The sequel to WTSM Pt. 1 is just as refreshing a read as its introducing novel. The plot continues after the dramatic reveal of the first book: that Jason and his band won the talent show, but it was rigged from the start with the help of the headmaster from Impervious University and Rae, the executive at Aim Records.
Yet, Jason Bottelli strives to prove himself and demarcate himself from that incident by working harder than ever. He and the band work intensely to record their debut album for Aim Records, but Jason starts learning to trust his gut and dive deeper into the inner workings of the music industry.
Once again, the story flows about Jason’s now very busy life. The dialogues feel authentic and some of the characters experience real-life issues, like Christopher, or Vince. The prose continues to be smooth. The pacing feels more quick in this book as there is a lot going on. Not only is Jason juggling and taking over band management, he is marrying Georgie and about to become a father. Some of the scenes in middle and end felt a little rushed, with sudden transitions that were jarring. But all in all, this is a fun, easy read that leaves me excited to read Pt. 3!
I award this book 4 stars.
