Tear

By: Rachel Van Dyken

Narrated by: Luci Christian

Life as a teenager is never easy. But for Natalee Murray, things have just gotten way more difficult. Bored with life, she can't wait to graduate high school and get out of town, especially considering the famous band members from AD2 suddenly start attending her school, making her once-boring life absolutely insane.

It starts with a pen. A single brush of fingers and she is captivated. But Alec and Demetri have a dark secret, one that could shatter their reputations and Natalee's heart. What do you do when one guy paints your life with color while the other infuses your soul with passion? How do you choose when your heart is divided?

This is a New Adult/Mature YA. Minor swearing and drug usage.

good story bit predictable

This was a good story and got better as it progressed. The narrator did a great job changing her inflections based on the character. It was a predictable ending, but the twists with the ex girlfriend was unexpected.

Heartbreaking

This is really heartbreaking but a oddly hopeful story in the end. Narration is done well and overall it's a good listen.

New perspective

The only thing that really frustrated me about the story is it was the same as the prequel only told from her perspective instead of the boys. honestly I think I liked the boys perspective better.

WoW awesome !

I couldn't stop listening from the first chapter! I thought my heart ❤would break as I cried . OMG i think I cried all the way through the book . It's so good you'll love it I promise.

Keeping in mind...

...it's about teenagers. I gave it 3 stars. I didn't connect with the book, though. I didn't like the love triangle thing. I had a hard time with liking any of the characters. I think this has more to do with me than the book, though. The childish nature of the book was difficult to follow.

Great Read

Tear (Seaside #1) was a great read by Rachel Van Dyken. Natalee Murray cant wait to graduate from high school and get out of town. Especially as the famous brother bandmates from AD2 started attending her school.Alec and Demetri have a dark secret that could ruin their reputations as well as Natalee's heart. I really enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.

Great book

Loved this book was afraid that it wouldn't end well but I was really pleased with the ending , author did a really good job with the story line and ending

Retold From Natalie's POV

It was ok to listen to this over from Nat's POV, but the author got mixed up with Alec's eye color. They were green, then blue & back to green. Also, if Rockstar bodyguards are protecting a GF they would not let dress shopping stop them from doing their jobs...especially if there were already death threats. Just small things with this book. Would I use a credit or buy this...No, but being included with the plan isn't a total waste of time if you don't have anything else to do.

Nat is one very lucky girl!

I loved the book. It's easy to get torn between two guys. It's even easier to have no earthly idea what to do. Rock Stars though, oh, heart be still.
Hold on to your seats girlfriends, it's going to be a very bumpy ride.

It was just... OK.

It was just... OK. Natalee was basically an idiot. Sigh. She chose the brother who was drunk, high, kissing some other girl, and doing other thoughtless, selfish idiotic stuff but Alec was perfect? Yeah, made no bloody sense.

It was almost 2 stars for that alone.
