From School Library Journal Gr 7–10—When Sterling's boyfriend Ethan makes it big with the release of his first album, he becomes an overnight teen heartthrob with a viral online presence. Sterling, too, is pulled into the whirlwind as she follows him on tour and is featured in top celebrity magazines. She is even gifted with designer swag to dress the part. While the limelight is initially appealing, the teen eventually realizes the cost of living off her boyfriend's fame and in his shadow—she is ignoring her own interests and aspirations. Although the writing is not overly sophisticated or original (Ethan is regularly described as "hot" and the protagonist's reaction to him as "melting"), new romance readers will find a safe initiation here. There is a subtle mention of a shared bed, but even the kisses quietly fade to black. For fans of the author, Elizabeth Eulberg, and Sarah Dessen.—Leah Krippner, Harlem High School, Machesney Park, IL
From Booklist When Ethan Cross bursts into the big-time music world, nothing in his and Sterling’s lives can stay the same. This is Sterling’s story—how does she go from ordinary high-schooler to girlfriend of a rock star? Thrilled for Ethan and excited to accompany him for some tours and concerts, she also walks a fine line between giddiness and self-doubt that she is attractive and confident enough to be Ethan’s girl. Chapter openers help reflect the growing tension, each showing progressively higher numbers of Ethan’s online followers, up to 22 million. The media and obsessed fangirls stalk the couple, and at one point Ethan is surrounded by ten trembling girls who look like they’re about to faint, throw up, or burst out crying. Can true love survive? Veteran readers will predict Sterling’s awakening of her own goals and identity, but Colasanti paces that realization skillfully. Amid the name-dropping of fashion brands and the totally- and awesome-speckled dialogue, the strong characters, as well as thoughtful insights on relationships, come together. Grades 8-11. --Anne OMalley

And he happens to be turning into a famous rockstar. His music is amazing and he's finally getting others to see it, and he brings Sterling along for the ride. Before she knows it, Sterling is going to red carpet premieres and is sitting front row at his sold-out concerts. But is Sterling living the life she wants, or the one Ethan wants for them? Is it enough to be happy for your love's dreams, or do you need to work on your own?I am a great Susane Colasanti fan, and this might be my second favorite novel of hers. It's a very cute story and the relationship between Sterling and Ethan is complex and also enduring. While I wish the other characters introduced in the middle of the story could be developed more before the end of the novel, the overall story was entertaining and left a good message. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a quick romance who will end with a smile and a passion to fulfill ones dreams.*4 STARS*[...]

Almost Unreadable By AT This is a fairly interesting premise--a guy and a girl are dating and he rockets to super-stardom while she remains just a regular girl who is now the girlfriend of the guy everyone loves. So this could have been a decent book, but in reality, it is not.This is just embarrassingly poorly written. The entire book is short, declarative sentences, which makes it hard to read and even harder to like. The characters are cookie-cutter, the plot is predictable. The main character, Sterling, has no personality at all despite the author trying to tell us that she has things she's interested in--cooking and correcting typos. She keeps saying she wants to be a publisher when she grows up, rather than saying she wants to be an editor or work in publishing, which drives me batty.I read a lot of YA books, and this one doesn't even qualify as a guilty pleasure. The relationship between Ethan and Sterling is annoying when things are good, and boring when things are bad. There are various soon-to-be dated pop culture references that are just distracting. At one point Ethan quotes something from Flight of the Conchords, but it doesn't make sense without context, so the author has to explain the joke, which really just never works.Here is a selection of writing that stood out as particularly offensive to me:"His arms are even more ripped than they were last week. He's getting crazy strong now that he's working out six days a week. He's doing three days of cardio or hip-hop dance, two days of weight training, and one day of running or other outdoor activities. And he has pickup basketball games with friends in his limited free time."Every damn sentence in this book starts with either Ethan or He. Every sentence is short. Every sentence is Subject Verb Object, which is a clear and concise way of communicating, but it doesn't really make for an engrossing read. Now I'm afraid I've internalized it and am going to start writing like a 7th grader.This is the first Susane Colasanti book I've ever read, and it will be the last.
5 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Embarrassingly Bad By Maggie I have these friends, let’s call them Grace and Amy*. Grace is a children’s book editor and Amy is a high school ESL teacher. Amy is forever mentioning to Grace how her students need high concept, low reading level books since it’s difficult to get high school students to read when all the books for their reading level are about seven-year-olds or whatever. Well Amy, do I have the book for you.There are a lot of things about Now and Forever that I absolutely hated, but by far the worst thing was the writing. I’ve read one other Susane Colasanti book, All I Need, which I also had issues with, but I don’t remember thinking it was written by a 12-year-old. Allow me to demonstrate what reading this book was like: “Now and Forever is about a girl. The girl’s name is Sterling. Sterling is a senior in high school. Sterling has a boyfriend named Ethan. Ethan dreams of being a rock star. Ethan starts to get famous.” It’s not just me, right? That’s annoying? As I was reading I just kept thinking that if Susane Colasanti had any finesse or maturity to her writing five or six or seven of the sentences I was reading could easily have been combined into one or two.The writing was hands down the must frustrating part of this reading experience, it was like I was reading the world’s longest picture book that was missing the pictures, but that certainly wasn’t the only problem. Sterling is a bit of an enigma. During the book she’s in her senior year of high school and she has two major interests: correcting bad grammar and cooking. I’ll be the first person to admit that bad grammar drives me batty, but Sterling takes it to a whole other level. She’s constantly telling people in stores why their signs are wrong and she carries around a Sharpie to do her own gorilla corrections to signs. I suppose this could possibly be interpreted as charming, but really I just wanted to tell Sterling to calm down and stop being an a-hole (she’s obviously never heard the expression it’s better to be happy than right). Sterling’s other interest is cooking. Her grandmother taught her to cook and she is apparently a renowned baker in her town. So much so that she apparently bakes enough to be able to sell hundreds of baked goods at a town celebration.The other odd thing about Sterling is that when she grows up she wants to be a book publisher. Not work for a book publisher, but be a book publisher. As someone who worked in publishing I’m familiar with this job, but I was surprised that Sterling was. I was also surprised, given her grammar Nazism, that she didn’t want to be a copyeditor or an editor. Especially since becoming a book publisher requires many years spent in lesser positions. Not to mention that prior to the last year, when Sterling found her calling in grammar, she hated school and didn’t do so well. Yet that hasn’t stopped her from applying to schools like Princeton and Yale.Unfortunately Sterling’s romance with Ethan did not help things. At first the relationship was a little cute, but it soon became sickeningly cute. I tried to tell myself that I’m single and bitter and old and these are two kids in love, but it was just too much. Ethan’s lines were cheesy and fake and I felt bad for Sterling that she believed stuff he was saying (although to Ethan and Colasanti’s credit for much of the book I think Ethan believed them too). Sterling also thought this truly awful thing when Ethan would say something vomit-inducing to her. Depending on where she was she would think “Melting. In. The lobby” or “Melting. In. The Car” or “Melting. In. Shake Shack” (they really liked Shake Shack). Maybe Ethan wasn’t a bad guy, but his ambition and focus were a turnoff for me and I never took any interest in Sterling and Ethan’s romance, which meant another nail in the coffin for this one.I swear that in an earlier description there was mention of another interest for Sterling, a guy involved in Ethan’s tour. There’s no mention of that in the description on Goodreads now, but I still kept waiting for it to happen. And when it did happen it didn’t make the book any better. Even though I didn’t buy into Sterling and Ethan’s relationship I still wasn’t ok with Sterling essentially emotionally cheating on Ethan. I found Sterling’s relationship with the roadie pretty unbelievable, I just didn’t see either of them taking an interest in each other and when it comes down to it they barely knew each other, but quickly became pretty obsessed with each other. And the ending, oh god, thank goodness I am not into spoiling books because you do not want to get me started on that ending.Maybe at this point you’re wondering if there is anything good about this book? Yes, two things. First, the basic idea for the story, a girl’s boyfriend is suddenly famous and she needs to navigate a new world. I still like the premise even though Susane Colasanti did her best to ruin it for me. Second, each chapter opens with the current number of followers Ethan has (not clear if it was Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.), but that was a really great way to quantify and show Ethan’s rapid rise to fame.Bottom Line: Susane Colasanti we are done. I read one of your books and didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it, but after this one I am done with you now and forever. I know you’re popular so I thought I’d give you another shot, but wow, what a mistake that was. The writing here was so atrocious that I am embarrassed for everyone involved with this book. Not to mention that the characters and story just fell completely flat. Do. Not. Read. This.* These are their real names
