I'm a self-proclaimed music snob just like Courtney E. Smith and I've NEVER met another girl as into music as me so I was instantly drawn to this book when it popped up as a recommendation by Amazon while looking for - you guessed it - music. It was a quick and easy read with a few moments of head nodding but, most of the time, I felt a generation gap between me and the author or maybe it was really an experiential gap since the author and I are less than 10 years apart in age. I've never worked for MTV, lived in New York City, or slept with a guy in a band. I'm probably the only music snob I know whereas the author is a music snob among a world of music snobs. Instead of sitting down with my new best friend, I felt a little like I was on the outside looking in. I really wanted more and just didn't find it but I definitely found something I'd never found before - a girl as into music as me.
