Plastic Confidence

Good Bye Trilogy, Book 1

By: Alisa Mullen

Narrated by: Lucy Lowe

What happens when the past rears its ugly head and messes with who you thought you were? Will it break down all your walls and set your whole world on fire?

Meet Julia Delaney, a.k.a Jules, the lead singer of Love Sick Ponies, sex superstar, and a heart full of rocks. She loves them and leaves them, a bad girl through and through.

That is until she meets Brennan Curtis, a fan boy, a wannabe friend, and the only one who can possibly tear Jules' walls down.

When the plastic snaps wide open, Jules finds herself in a vulnerable and awkward situation with Brennan and her band.

Jules' journey of self-discovery started at a young age and her self- image, which is ingrained in her brain, might just be there for life. Desperate to alter how people view her, she realizes that she might never be able to escape the past.

Follow the past ghosts into the now for the emotional roller coaster ride you all expect from Alisa Mullen.

Couldn't stand the narrator, but good story

The narrator drove me crazy. Her American accent was ok much of the time, but the mispronounced words (e.g. Like British or Australian English, words that end in vowels like Julia pronounced with an "r" at the end: Julier) were so frequent that it detracted from the story. Good story though for sure, but I honestly almost gave up and went for Kindle version instead.

love story

Liked the story. Kinda had a hard time sometimes understanding the narrator. Her accent. Other than that I really liked it.

All screwed up !

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I would. It was a very good book that touches on mental illness and addictions

What other book might you compare Plastic Confidence to and why?

I have not really read anything similar

Have you listened to any of Lucy Lowe’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No I have not

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Cry more than anything I felt my heart fall for the main character a lot during the book

Any additional comments?

This book is dark and deep it deals with mental health and demons of the heart.
But also is a very wonderful book to listen to.

Very entertaining

Held my attention & believable characters. A lot of promiscuous sex for New Adult reading. Had an HEA & kept me guessing until the end as to who the heroine would end up with - well done!

Love Love and Love

Kick ass rock star and lead singer for Love Sick Ponies Julia(Jules) Delaney may seem like your typical gorgeous female rock and roller. Living the lifestyle of rocker, she parties hard, and has her fair share of nightly men. On the outside she appears to be confident in who she is. But memories of her past come flooding back, threatening everything she has worked for. Memories triggered by a beautiful mysterious man in the crowd at one of her shows…Brennan Curtis. Swoon! Brennan embodies everything Julia fears. He comes into her life fast and like a bull. Tearing down her emotional walls. Leaving her vulnerable and exposed. She begins to rethink her life. After discovering hidden truths about Brennan, herself, and her past, she is pushed to make the hard decision of figuring herself out. On her path to self-discovery, she finds out more than she expected to and Alisa Mullen takes you on the roller coaster ride with Jules Delaney. I cried, I laughed, I got angry and threw things, I blamed the world. But I fell in love with this book and I am waiting not so patiently for book 2. Thank you Alisa

my kind of book

I loved this book. I had no clue what I was getting into but now that it's finished I'm so glad I did. The book had so much passion and growth and I loved the chemistry between all the characters. Jules was an awesome main character and I love that she was so strong even when she was weak. This story had me wanting and needing to finish faster than possible in a good way. Nearing the end I just got even more excited to figure out the loose ends I am so glad to have been gifted this book for a review. Will check.out more from Alisa Mullen :-)

Great storyline!

4.5 Crazy Ass Stars!!!!! For storyline
2 Crazy Ass Stars! For audiobook


I started out listening to this audiobook yesterday. It was a great storyline. I didn't care for the narrator at all though. She made it very hard to follow the story. I couldn't get lost in it as I kept hearing her natural accent come out and skew words. I feel a narrator should be more articulate and enunciate words correctly. I get that narrators take on accents of characters but I could not really differentiate between characters at times. It got to be annoying so I switched to the kindle version. Had I just read the book, this would have been a 5 star Crazy Ass Must Read but I just can't get over how annoyed I was with audiobook.

This book had everything with feels and angst and drama. Oh, and hot sexy times. I loved Brannon. He's definitely BBF material.

I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the trilogy.

WOW! LOVED IT!!

What did you like about this audiobook?

Loved the voice. loved the real life drama.this was a completely new genre for me and it rocked.

How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

I had the book on my TBR. I haven't had a lot of time to sit and read read as of late so I've been using audible. I have no complaints about this story. the story was great! Love drama confusion real life stuff. with a good choice of a HEA.

Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

She makes you think about the meaning of love. Soul mates. they do exist. no matter if you find yours or not there is one out there for everyone.

What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?

I really liked her. but and i hate to say it but i only had a problem with her female vs male change over. they weren't much different from each other. not like I'm used to. but oooh how i loved and i mean LOVED how she got in to character!

love this story!!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Plastic Confidence to be better than the print version?

I love both versions equally! Audiobooks are so much easier for on the go listening. I also love the fact that I can listen to the audiobook version while I am working on Facebook, doing housework or doing homework.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Julia Delaney is my favorite character. She grows from a confused young girl into the very confident Jules Delaney major rockstar. She has a set of rules she lives by. She is a very strong woman, she lives hard and loves hard.

Have you listened to any of Lucy Lowe’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I haven't listened to any of Lucy Lowe's other performances before. But, after this one I may just have to seek some of them out.
