About I'm Not in the Band:
I like Kassidy Milton. There, I said it. She’s funny, beautiful—even though she doesn’t know it—and my favorite kind of weird. But I can’t tell if she’s into me or just trying to get close to me for a chance with my famous twin brother instead. I mean, it has to be me. I am the better-looking one.
But Kassidy has some demons, and she’s not good at letting people in. That happens when you’ve been hurt by someone close to you. I can relate. Trust is a funny thing; it’s hard to gain but easy to lose. I might just learn that the hard way.

I received a copy of this book via Net-Galley.
This is not your typical rock star book, actually its not a rock star book at all. Its about the brother of a rock star that is being used to get close to his brother, and he is dealing with that.
I loved this book, It was a quick read. I loved Kassidy and Archer.
Kassidy goes to a concert with her sister, where she meets Archer. I love how the first thing he says is I'm not him. She was so confused as she didn't know who he was talking about.
Kassidy is struggling with who she is, she was always the one to make her best friend Kate happy no matter what, and at all costs. Now she is finding out who she really is.
Archer is the twin brother of famous singer Ross. He is tired of being liked for who his brother is and not for who he is.
Both Kassidy and Archer have trust issues both like each other but is it enough? Is what they have real or are they using each other. Kassidy because he is Ross's Brother and Archer because he doesn't want her to be after his brother but thinks she might be? I loved the dynamics of the characters. There is more to this story then I thought it would be.
I do hope we get other books from the characters in the book. I would love the rock star story of Ross as well! Great story!
EXCERPT:
“Hey.” He pushes off the van and takes a few steps toward me.
We’re so close I can smell traces of soap and mint toothpaste. “Hey,” I respond. Way to be original, Kass.
“You made it.” He rubs the back of his neck with his hand.
I laugh without meaning to. “Well, I didn’t really have a choice. It is the first day of school, and I do go here now…” The words trail off as I realize I’m being rude.
His cheeks redden. “Yeah, I guess that was a stupid thing to say. I just meant that you made it early…to meet me…” Shaking his head, he says, “Man, I’m usually so smooth.”
My head spins. I’m not the type of girl that makes guys nervous. Sophie and Kate make guys nervous. I make them comfortable. It’s why I get friend-zoned so early on. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve liked a guy, thinking they liked me, only to find out later that they had a crush on Kate or one of my other friends, and they were using me to get close to them because I was the approachable one.
“Hopefully you’re smoother than this when you spit,” I joke, remembering last night’s text. My pulse skitters beneath my flesh. I’m not usually flirty.
“Oh. Right.” He laughs, running a hand through his hair.
“You’re not chickening out, are you?” Raising an eyebrow, I cross my arms over my chest. What has gotten into me?
“Never. I just need a minute to prepare.” He rolls his shoulders, stretching his neck from side to side as if preparing for a race. “Okay. Okay. I think I got it.” Bouncing his head up and down, he starts. “Uh uh, yo. First day of school, chilling with Kassidy. If I was allergic to hot girls, then I would sneeze. My name is Archer, my rhymes are fire. We can go on a date, if you so desire.”
My face flames. Is he serious? His teasing smile makes it impossible to tell.
