Review: The Anti-Bullies (Saved By The Band Series Book 1) by KT Strange

The Anti-Bullies by K.T. Strange
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Poignant Reverse Harem

I’d probably give this 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.

This is set in the same universe as the Phoenixcry books with some cross over characters having guest appearances.

Haisley ‘Haze’ Foster is a Cele-baby. Her father is an award winning director and her mother a celebrated actress. She’ll have a trust fund at 21 but at 18 she’s still at a school for the performing arts, which she hates with a passion. Her father wants her to become and actress like her mother but Haze wants nothing to do with Hollywood and wants to win a scholarship to go and film a documentary in New Zealand, as far away from the madness of LA as possible.

Her grades are starting to slip as she become more and miserable and lonely at school and at home and in order to make a good impression on the scholarship board she is convinced to take four new students under her wing, to help them hit the ground running mid-year. The students are four members of a talented rock band, who need to graduate high school to be considered for a opportunity with a record company. They see the spoiled and bitter trust fund baby Haze shows the world to keep herself protected and she sees the arrogance of talented and beautiful young men about to take the world by storm. Both and neither are right.

This book is filled with the pain of youth, when your parents have the opportunity to do the most damage to your heart. When you are struggling to break free and they just don’t seem to want to understand that you don’t want the same things that they want for you.

There is optimism and pain and hope and fear in this book in abundance and I feel like a rubber ball being bounced around a small enclosed space, never escaping the emotions of five young people. After I’ve taken a few deep breaths I know I’ll really want to read the next book!
