THOUGHTS
*i wrote this post back in 2020? i think? idk. still don't care for the book so much so that im too lazy to reread the spoilers so sorry for all of the typos that you might find from here on out.*
first of all! the disrespect to compare this or say this is the other side of Daisy Jones. ugh.
I thought I had written the post already but I guess not so ill just be quick about it I guess.
At first, id say that I was like AHHHHH!!! who gives a fuck about this book but I guess now I can say meh, who gives a fuck about this book.
Idk. It was a lot.
Like toooooo much going on. Literally everyone has drama going on in this story. There's not a single person mentioned who like had a nice dinner and then lived happily ever after.
Rose was a bitch, Cassidy had underlying issues that were never addressed, poor Alex , Merry, well, ay Merry!...and also can we talk about Merrys daughter! That little bitch! I wanted to smack her. And Merry for allowing her to be such a little twat. And Yumi!, well, idk, I don't really have shit to say about Yumi.
Idk. I need to stop getting all these kinds of books from BOTM.
This one for sure is going into a little free library.
Ima leave it here cus I just don't care.

oooh this one is a doozy!
So...
yes Cassidy does end up committing suicide. while there are a myriad of reasons its not really clear but ultimately, it was depression.
ill try to do this the best that I can.
short version:
Alex gets in a car accident and can no longer walk due to the accident caused by the paps because of the rumor that he supposedly broke Cassidy's arm.
it was Rose that sold that story to the paps about Alex breaking Cassi's arm even though it was Steven St James. i dont think she knew the real truth but the bitch did it for exposure and money.
Merry was raped by the director that directed their video for Prime which resulted in a pregnancy. she kept the child and never told the dude nor the public. she was free with her love so she was worried that people were going to tell her that she deserved it for being a "slut".
she also was the one who burned the house down of the dude she was dating. it was an accident but because of the nature of the relationship with the dude and the fact that she had helped break up a marriage, they thought it was the ex wife looking to get revenge.
Cass joins sing it and makes it to the top 3 when she was 17 but ultimately got second place to Steven St. James.
she goes back home, is bummed the fuck out, talks to a friend and that friends tells her to stop being stupid and make connections. so she calls the sing it agent but she tells her that at the moment, she cannot help her because how would it look to people if she lost but is still being rewarded and then other non winners will expecting the same thing.
fast forward i forget how long but she ends up getting a call to meet with the gloss girls; they are looking for a fourth since their fourth has fallen sick.
she meets with them, Yumi & Merry are okay with her and Rose is a total bitch.
from here on out ill do it per person because its quicker and im over this book.
CASSI/ STEVEN ST. JAMES / ALEX
she 's friends with Alex and 2 other girls but you only really see her bonding with Alex. its when he surprises her in new york after a show that she realizes juuuusthow crazy fans can be that she learns that Alex is moving to Pomona to go to school to be near her. and with that he ends up being her part time security guard until he has back to school. somewhere in there they end up dating and end up being boyfriend and girlfriend.
all in all Cassi ends up being a bitch to him the whole way through. ever since sing it she's had a crush on Steven St. James, he made a move on her on an award show so of course Alex has every right to be upset. not only that but she had a camera that in it had pictures of her dancing all over St James that she then gives to Alex so he can develop and thats how he learns of the after party.
oscar season comes around and St James asks her to go with him to the show because he considers him her lucky charm and she talks to alex about it but since he is upset she overreacts and tells St James yes. Alex hangs up on her and doesnt see her until the day of.
he shows up to her house and talks to her and he tells her that he feels like he is not important to her and that she doesnt make any time for him and she tells him that she is trying to protect him and ultimately tells him that she might not have feelings for him. (OH! before this, those pictures of cassi with st james were sold to the paps. she thinks that it was alex and he swears up and down that it wasnt him but she doesnt believe him. ....it ended up being his roommate who sold the pics.) anyway, so she does that and then boom, St. James shows up. alex, deflated, ends up leaving and lets her know that he is walking away from her.
the fucked up thing is that after he told her that he feels like she doesnt make time for him, she tells him that the timing is bad and that she needs to leave because someone else is waiting on her.
so anyway, alex leaves, st james goes up to her and they end up kissing she tells him she needs a bit of time given everything and they get in the limo.
at the awards, while waiting in the limo to get off, i forget what sets him off but St. James hits her and ends up breaking her arm.
she's all wtf, he tells the driver to take her to get patched up, she's all wtf and the driver straight up tells her that if she bad mouths st james she's fucked for life.
she goes to the hospital, gets fixed up, doesnt say shit, blah blah, she avoids him, everything is as good as can be and then alex is in an accident. a tabloid comes out that it was him that broke her arm and so now hes hated and he was at a store with his roommate when they are being chased by paparazzi that they get in a bad accident that ultimately costs alex his ability to ever walk again.
rumor mills are all happy that it happened to him and cassi never disputed that it wasnt him. it wasnt until after his accident that she did anything but of course by then its too late. it was a close friend that released that information to the paps.
at first, she thinks that it was whats her face...Lucy and then she thinks that it was Yumi. but then you learn that it was.....
the reason that Cassi ends up leaving the band is because she falls in love with Rose. yea bitchass Rose.
and Rose reciprocates. Rose was actually in a relationship with Viv, the 4th member who had to drop out, but they called it quits because she got leukemia and told Rose to go do her own thing.
BUT the thing is Rose doesnt want to take it further.
after some other award show, they end up going home together and theyre about to hook up and cassi tries to push a relationship but rose tells her ultimately that no. she wont do that with her.
but what breaks the camels back is that Cassi learns that it was actually Rose that sold the story about Alex to the press.
she did it for more money and fame.
she is the reason Alex was so hated and why he now can no longer walk.
