Penny, a sixteen-year-old student waits anxiously to finish her last examinations and see her boyfriend Noah Flynn who is an eighteen-year-old famous rock-god perfection singer.
Penny is the one who goes through the most character development in the book because Noah is hardly ever present. Penny suffers from anxiety, which does not pair well with tour life, but she seems to stay strong for the most part while everything she and Noah have planned for the tour falls apart. Penny's development doesn't come from her experience of disappointment and heartbreak, but also because she is a young girl going through the process of figuring out what she wants to do with her life. Penny brings her camera and loves to take photographs everywhere she goes and then she happens to snap a picture of the famous singer Leah Brown (also on tour with The Sketch— Noah's band) in disguise which changes her point of view. When Leah asks Penny if she could use the photo for her album cover, it becomes exactly that moment for Penny. Penny figures out that her passion can be something more for her and most people don't realize that.
Noah gets painted in a pretty bad light in this book, which is different from the rock-god perfection that he seems to be in the first novel. It's always clear that he is head over heels in love with Penny and that he would never intentionally hurt her, but he seems completely oblivious to how he affects her. Of course, Penny never outright tells Noah that she hates being ignored and pushed around to fit Noah's increasingly busy schedule, but Noah never catches on even after multiple reschedules and letdowns. Noah manages to bail on every Magical Mystery Day—an exciting and mysterious day— possible, whether it's for an important meeting with record label people or just to hit the bars with his bandmates. Even when it is revealed that Dean—Noah's Secretary— is the culprit, and was blackmailing Penny the whole tour so she would break up with Noah, Noah is not shown as a good guy in this book until the end when he finds out the truth from both Dean and Blake— Noah's best friend.
Penny and Elliot–her best friend is like the "#friendship goals" that most people wish they had. Elliot is constantly at Penny's defense and ready to trash-talk Noah to make Penny feel better because that's what best friends do. They are so close and care for each other so much that Elliot's breakup is kind of what got Penny out of her breakup funk.
By the end of the novel Noah and Penny aren't quite back together but they do seem to be okay as friends.
