Songs About a Girl: Songs About Us by Chris Russell
A modern love story for fans of Zoella - and for anyone who has ever dreamed of being 'with the band'.
Chris's writing is completely addictive, it's unputadownable-- Emma * Never Judge A Book By It's Cover blog *
I was absolutely bowled over by Chris Russell's staggeringly good YA debut, Songs About a Girl, and Charlie's latest tribulations in the equally engaging Songs About Us certainly does not disappoint on any level. -- Linda Wilson * Crime Review *
Songs About a Girl is a gorgeous page turning romance from start to finish. This is the book that teenage dreams are made of! * Serendipity Reviews *
Absolutely perfect as a summer book. It only took me a day to read because I got completely hooked! * YA Under My Skin *
This is the music based book that I have been waiting for * Ink Scratchers *
This story felt incredibly current. It's exciting and easy to read. Chris Russell is a fantastic writer * Chrissi Reads *
A thoroughly absorbing tale of family relationships, friendship and betrayal. Fans of Non Pratt will love it * School Librarian *
Highly addictive, utterly charming and impossible to put down * Aggie's Books *
This was such an addictive story, I seriously could not put it down * Tea Party Princess *
Songs About a Girl is more than music, its about growing up, dealing with issues that others face every day, its about becoming a stronger person for yourself and never giving up on your dream. It's a book that you can fall into and never want it to end, and I really need the next installment now please * Much Loved Books *
Writing about fictional celebrities while contriving to make them seem real is a hard trick to pull off, but Chris Russell's YA debut succeeds where many others have failed. His own background as a musician and band member is much in evidence. Everything he writes about rings true. Fire&Lights have the unmistakeable stamp of authenticity and it's clear that Russell still vividly remembers what it's like to be both a teenager and a fan. This was a book that I just wanted to go on an on. The ending when it did come was clever, surprising and very, very intriguing. And the really good news is that Songs About a Girl is the first of a trilogy * Crime Review *
Once I started reading, I honestly couldn't stop and managed to fly through the book in three days. The pacing was perfect and there was never a dull moment. The dialogue was also spot on, especially Melissa's fangirling sessions. Any fangirl or fanboy reading this book will smile at Melissa's reactions to everything! The ending was a fantastic cliff-hanger and definitely has me eager for more - WHEN WILL THE SEQUEL BE IN MY LIFE? * Queen of Teen Fiction *
Occasionally, a book will come along that shakes up the blogosphere completely. The latest of those books? Songs About a Girl by Chris Russell....this is such a brilliant book with funny dialogue and some very clever twists... you won't want to miss it * The Mile Long Bookshelf *
I completely fell hard for this book. It's a delight and, aside from a few personal disagreements with some of Charlie's choices, I just didn't want this book to end. Songs About a Girl is fun, cool and is going to completely win the heart of any fangirl that wanted to be plucked out of the crowd by a band member * Sister Spooky *

At the age of thirteen, Chris Russell formed pop/rock band The Lightyears with his best friends from school. Since then, The Lightyears have toured all over the world, performing everywhere from Wembley Stadium to Glastonbury, and trashing a grand total of zero hotel rooms. In 2013, after a three-month stint ghostwriting for a One Direction fan club, Chris developed an obsession with boy bands and came up with the idea for Songs About a Girl. He is currently busy writing the next book in the series, gigging with The Lightyears and fanboying in the general direction of Harry Styles.
