My mom read this book! Check out her reaction:
Good vs. evil, cruel fate, a tragic accident, and a life out of control. It's Ivanhoe all over again!
This book is about a girl who is dating a pop singer against the background of her tragic personal life and his difficulty with navigating the path of success. It's not bad!
The theme of the book is making choices that will get you a positive outcome. The characters have a genuine feel, and they make you care about the theme.
The shortcoming of the book is a lack of realism. For example, the father character just kind of disappears. Where did he go? I think teenagers can handle something a little more grounded that this. On the other hand, it's refreshing to read a positive, upbeat romance novel that doesn't make you feel gross afterwards.
Young teens and people who enjoy realistic characters in an upbeat romance would appreciate this book.
