So let me try not to fangirl out on this book. I will start at the beginning.

A couple months ago I was asked to do a cover reveal for a book about these sister that had a boy band living in their house. I skipped it but I couldn't stop thinking about how cute that scenario sounded. So it took me a couple days to figure out what the name of the book was and I only figured it out because my son said something about Saturn. :) I will tell you this I am so glad I did. Not only was this a fantastic book but also Nikki is an awesome person. I absolutely adore her.

If you are or have ever been a fangirl of a band you will love this book. Half the thing she writes about is exactly what I would do if I had a boy band at my house. I can already see that this is going to be my daughter in a couple years.... god help me!!!

The story revolves around Chloe, Aralie and Little Emery. Chloe and Aralie are getting ready for summer vacation but their dad, a secret services agent, is about to ruin their entire summer. The Popular Boy Band Starships around Saturn was just shot at while performing at a concert and they need to go into hiding quickly. So the girl’s dad decides to take them in. Emery can barely contain her excitement. She is a 5 year old and a HUGE Saturnite.

On the other hand Chloe and Aralie are non-to happy. Once the boys get there everything changes and they discover these boys are a lot more than what they seem. Milo, Noah, Tate, Benji and Jules are a bunch of strawberry milk-drinking, Oreo eating, ladybug smelling, Refrigerator twittering, giggly bunch of crazy HOT guys and the girls get to spend THE ENTIRE SUMMER WITH THEM!!! They are about to be the envy of every girl on the planet and they can't tell anyone. Poor Benji can't keep away from Emery, Jules and Aralie need a referee when they are in a room together and all Chloe wants to do is get to know Milo a lot better. Can they survive the summer stuck in the house with 5 handsome and famous boys? (Why would that even be a question? WHO WOULDN'T)

I love Chloe's conversations in her own head. Its really funny and I think it's what every girl has thought of when they had a fascination with a boy band. NKOTB for me (don't judge :D). Oh Jordan you were my favorite. I'm over it now of course (maybe)...but I can still listen to the older music and fangirl out in my car or behind a pair of headphones.

All the characters where fantastic I really loved this book. I laughed a lot and realized that I'm not the only person who thinks ladybugs smell, it made me yell out loud. "Thank god I'm not the only one."

Been reading a lot of emotional books lately this was such a great, fun, light-hearted read that would make any fangirl squee with excitement. I just loved it. I loved the end and I wish it wasn't over. I wanted more. Nikki created just a great story and a wonderful cast of characters that really stick with you long after you are finished reading. You really become close to them and grow to care.

I am eager to read more from Nikki I think she is a fantastic writer and a wonderful storyteller. I can gush for hours, really I can, but for now I will leave you with this

I recommend this book to Saturn and back. If you have ever been a Fangirl for anything this book gives you a glimpse into what it would be like to spend a couple weeks with whoever that may be. Once you finish this book, I bet you will become a Saturnite too. :)
