Advantages: Fantastic story, great characters, update on her previous novel! Disadvantages: The way it ended!
...the book to come.
Johnny Be Good is all about Meg Stiles. Meg was a PA for a smalll architect in London, until her boss found her the job of a lifetime..PA for Rock God Johnny Jefferson in LA. Meg happily accepts the job and moves her life over to LA. She's star-struck at meeting Johnny but soon settles in to her job. Johnny introduces her to a life of glitz and glam, and her best friend, the English-gent Christian. Meg and Christian quickly become ... ...story.
The character of Johnny was completely over the top and outrageous, but because he is supposedly a "rock-god", this really does work! He's clearly a bad boy, and you can see Meg's attraction to him right from the start, but he is actually a more complicated character than initially appears. His story continues alongside Meg's throughout the book, and the contrast between the two characters makes for a great chemistry and therefore I really ...

Advantages: Great, easy to read story, perfect for when you don't want to think too much Disadvantages: The cliff-hanger ending!
...with some friends, everything changes. Johnny Jefferson, the British bad boy of music needs a new assistant, and she's just recommended Meg for the job. Within days, Meg is flying out to LA where Johnny now lives, and trying to come to terms with life in the shadow of one of the beautiful, famous people. Life's a bit different in La La Land, and Meg soon finds out that in addition to her old duties of organising meetings and co-ordinating diaries, ... ...if we ever met, and Johnny and Christian had a great Hugh Grant vs. Colin Firth Bridget Jones thing going on. Some of the other characters were less developed - like Bess, her old BFF in London, and Serengeti who enters and leaves the story in a whirlwind of emotion and dog-poo - but not to the extent that it damages the story. The ending is a little abrupt, but it still liked it. It also was not what I was expecting - I foresaw two options, but ...

...assistant to the rock star Johnny Jeffersson. Her life is perfect …or so you would think right ? Find out how Meg copes with the positives and negatives that come with working with a famous musician.
Johnny Be Good is the second book by Paige Toon (Heat Magazine's reviews editior) , her first being Lucy In The Sky. Johnny Be Good was released in 2008. I had already read Lucy In The Sky and absolutely loved it , so when I heard Paige Toon had another ... ...eyes. My least character being Johnny due to his 'I-don't-care' attitude and for the way he picked up and dropped Meg whenever it suited him. I found the book to be addicitive at times , and manage to read the whole book within three days! Although I enjoyed this book , sometimes I found some parts predictable , whereas others were not so predictable and that it what made it such a good read! I would recommend this book to all chick-lit fans and ...

Quick review of Johnny Be Good - Paige Toon
I bought this book before i went on holidays! normally it takes me a few days to read a book but i couldn't put this one down and i read it in 1 day!
Meg lands a dream job being a PA for a hunky rock star and gets to live in his house in LA - which girl wouldn't have this as her ultimate dream. You know straight away that something is going to happen how could it not - It gets you giddy thinking ahead of what exactly. How could you not resist! She's got 2 beautiful Geordie men (always a bonus) fighting over her!! You've got to love our Meg!!!
Can't wait to Paige Toon's next book if it's anywhere as good as this one!! ...

Advantages: no wittering on - no boring parts you want to skip Disadvantages: really cant think but if i had to say-i wanted a sequal but wont get one :(
I really fancied the lead character Johnny. This is not sad but it means that Paige toon once again creates a novel where you just get into the characters so much that you end up living the story. It is a great chick lit read. I could not put the book down. Also the book never waffles on it gets straight to the point and is interesting right from the beginning to the end - BRILLIANT!! i cant wait for her next one. It is a modern day romance. Set ...
