1.0

What happens when you are recruited to be part of your favorite band and suddenly find yourself leaving your small town life to move to LA and become a rockstar? Well eighteen year old Kyla Bell is about to find out. When she randomly ends up opening for a band she is then asked to join her favorite band Glitter Tears by the gorgeous rocker Ruby Sky, This is Kyla’s chance to make her dreams come true and she can’t pass it up, even if it means dropping out of high school and moving to Los Angeles. Kyla soon finds out that being a rocker isn’t all it’s cracked up to be especially when it comes to drugs, drama, and trying to be yourself when you are already trying to be someone else. She’ll find herself doing things and drugs she never imagined, trying to fit into the rocker lifestyle while dealing with the complicated feelings she has for Ruby and defining her own sexuality while realizing that not everything is as glamorous as it seems and that the music scene is cut throat. This one just fell flat for me, honestly I went into it blind hoping I would enjoy it more that way but found that I really didn’t care all that much for Kyla’s musician journey into being a LA Rocker. Honestly, even the ending of the book was so meh. This just missed the mark and unfortunately I didn’t care for it as much. The relationship drama, the music drama, and all of it was just eh. Overall, this one just missed the mark for me but if you are looking for a story about a young musician trying to make it in the 90′s music scene in Los Angeles, give it a go, maybe you’ll have a better time with it than me.
