Strings Attached Audiobook

" Much love for Judy Blundell's completely unique YA noir style. This time our heroine, in NYC trying to make a name for herself as a dancer, has to decide if she should get ahead with the help of her ex-boyfriend's gangster-affiliated father, and what to do about her past. Fifteen kinds of awesome. "

" AWESOME BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even though it was a little confusing because there was different storys but it all came together in the end!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME BOOK(ONCE AGAIN) "

" This book is about a young, stunning, innocent girl with dreams of show business who gets tangled up with the mob. Despite the fact that the book was a tad slow in places, overall it was an engaging, exciting read. I could totally see this book being turned into a movie. "

" I LOVED this one. Judy Blundell is a master at creating atmosphere. I really felt as if I was in 1950s New York City with Kit, striving to become a Broadway dancer, desperately trying to extricate myself from the ties of skeevy Nate Benedict. Beautifully written and highly recommended. "

" Really, not that great. Just picked it randomly off the shelf and found that it was trying to be a mystery/drama novel, but couldn't pull it off. Wouldn't recommend it. "

" This book was a GREAT mystery set back in the 1940's-1950's. A recommend if you're into this type of book. The only thing I wish I could have gotten was some more background on the main characters family, and not just the ones that were important to the plot. "

" Wow. Just wow. I had a hard time getting into it in the beginning, but I loved it in the end. Blundell truly is a master at voice and writing historical fiction. It was gritty, it was noir and I felt like I was in the 50's. A really compelling read. "

" I loved the story of the Broadway hopeful and the glimpse of her life as a performer. The mix of romance, family tension and organized crime connections made it even more interesting. "

" I loved the time setting of this book and the old Broadway dancers and trying to make it big in NY. It was a good, clean crime novel. "

" This book was pretty uninteresting. The main girl was dull and I wanted to shake some sense into her several times. Was there a point to this book? No. It ended and what did I learn? Mobsters are jerks. "

" I am a fan of Blundell's What I Saw and How I Lied and Strings Attached has solidified my love for this author. Wonderful historical detail and a very dark and heartfelt story. Highly recommend the audio! "

" I think I liked this book because of the setting. New York!! Which I am a little obsessed with right now and it's a Historical Fiction which is my favorite genre.. So add the mob, lies, deceit and murder. Makes a fun quick read.. "

" A well written, different take on the usual mobster fiction. "

" I really enjoyed this book, there was so much to all the characters and I felt I could really identify with Kit. And the twists in this book? Really did surprise me. "

" This is a great book, very much like a noir 1940s film. "

" This book was not what I had expected, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It was actually pretty good. I liked that I couldn't guess the plot immidiately and that there were several surprises. It kept the book new and interesting, which is unlike many other books I read. "

" I haven't encountered a lot of YA set in the 1950s, and I really enjoyed this one. Dark and mysterious and legitimately surprising. "

" Disappointing. Story really went no where. "

" I really thing this book will appeal more to adults than young adults. "

" She is good, I felt like I was there. I will now read her first book, What I Saw and How I Lied. Its coming of age, but in my opinion it goes beyond teen appeal. "

" This book is amazing. Beautifully written, with well-developed characters and a gripping storyline. I literally couldn't this book down - I needed to know how it ended. Judy Blundell is a fantastic writer, and now I have finished this book, I need to read every other book she has ever written. "
