Summary from Goodreads:
The summer
after graduation is supposed to be that first real taste of freedom - but not
for eighteen-year-old Chloe Branson. Just as that breeze of freedom is making
its way into her galaxy, her secret-service-agent dad drops a meteor-sized bomb
of bad news on her and her sisters. An attempt has been made on the lives of
Canadian boyband, Spaceships Around Saturn, during their USA tour, and the guys
have to go into hiding ASAP. The only problem? In the midst of the crisis and
media frenzy, their dad volunteered to hide the guys...in their house.
Six-year-old Emery is as ecstatic as any self-proclaimed Saturnite would be, but Chloe and her seventeen-year-old sister Aralie watch their summer plans crash and burn like a falling star. The SAS guys aren't happy with the situation, either. Bad boy Jules picks fights with Aralie about everything from his Twitter followers to his laundry, and heart-throb Benji can't escape Emery's fangirlisms for more than three minutes.
But after the super-cute Milo kisses Chloe during a game of hide-and-seek, she finally understands what Emery means when she talks about SAS being "out of this world." If this is what Saturn feels like, Chloe doesn't want to come back to Earth.

Excerpt 3:
I push him back. “You cheated!”
“Milo wins!” Noah
shouts out. “I really thought you had it too, Chloe. I can’t believe you just
crumbled like that.”
“He cheated,” I
repeat.
Milo shakes his head
in protest. Noah has the audacity to agree with him. And thanks to Emery’s lost
spinner in the grass, the plastic is my only other witness.
Noah saunters over to
us like a rapper trying to pull off a classic swagger.
“Good job, Milo,” he
says. “You know how clumsy girls can be. I knew you’d take her down.”
I peel myself off of
the plastic, grab my flip flops, and head back toward the house. I’ve had
enough exhilaration and angst for one afternoon. The video premiere was enough.
Porno-Posed-Twister with Milo was too much. But I can’t escape Spaceships
Around Saturn even if I try.
Milo and Noah come up
behind me like a black hole engulfing a shooting star.
“Whoa, where are you
going?” Noah asks. “I need you to work some Sharpie magic for me.”
I spin around by the
pool. The blue water glistens behind him.
“Why don’t you ask your Canadian brother to
help you out? I’ll even lend you the Sharpies, traitor,” I say.
Noah attempts a
jaw-dropped shocked expression, but his dimples pierce through and make it
impossible for him to look appalled. He moves closer to me.
“If you wouldn’t keep
secrets from me then I would’ve backed you up,” he says through his teeth. “I
need to be in the loop.”
An evil thought
crosses my mind, and I instantly do what I can to erase it. But it’s sort of
like typing an English essay. You type a line. You think it sucks. You slowly
backspace. Then you realize it helps meet that three-and-a-half-pages criteria,
so you keep it. This evil thought is too good for the backspace button.
“You want in the
loop?” I ask.
He nods rapidly, and
his smile bounces up and down.
“Okay,” I say. “Spell
‘loop’ backward, and you’ll totally be in it.”
I wait half a second
for the word to click in his brain before I push him with all my energy into
the cold water behind him. A splash of H2O floods the poolside concrete and
splatters over my feet as Noah bobs to the surface. I rush to the patio door
before he has a chance to climb out and throw me in.
But Milo blocks my
escape.
“Are you free
tonight?” he asks.
“As free as I can be
on a lockdown,” I reply.
He slides the patio
door open and motions me inside. “I’ll hold Noah back,” he says. “As long as
you promise to meet me out here at midnight.”
