Critics Review
Tapping into boyband mania as well as artistic pride, Denton turns her sharp eye to the fallacies of painting women as ‘groupies’, creating a main character more interested in artistic integrity than fame and fortune. Young women looking for more positive female role models will love Amelie’s passionate pursuit of her dreams, which is both inspiring and hugely relatable. * Evening Standard *
THIS BEATS PERFECT is a fabulous celebration of music, friendship, and following your dreams. It’s hugely entertaining with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and Amelie is a wonderful heroine. She’s smart, loyal, and fiercely independent. Rebecca Denton’s music expertise shows in the incredibly authentic backstage and on stage scenes. A fantastic addition to the burgeoning category of YA books about music, fandoms, and fame. * Katherine Webber, author of Wing Jones *
