Rock Star's Girl by J. F. Kristin
I was liking this book until I read the ending. Emily gets thrown into the deep end with the paparazzi one day she just a girl with a fashion web site and the next her love life it splashed all over the tabloids by one Wally Hood. She meets Cory and the media exposure angle toward her. Their romance is blazed hot and fast in no time at all they are seen kissing in public Emily is happy but Cory soon gets cold feet on committing to being her bf. Her relationship with Jesse gets strained with gossip that they kissed and she cheated on Cory, which is false since they are friends and nothing more. Both these guys use the newly gained focus on Emily to their advantage to get more publicity for them and their bands. I'm glad Emily in the end saw that both guys really did not care much about her they were basically just using her for more fame. Yes, Cory did have that show where he asked her for a second chance in front of his audience but was that just for show or was he sincere we will not know since Emily cut ties to him. Emily does something I don't agree with after she told Wally Hood her side of the story that she was just friends with Jesse and her and Cory were over. What else did she do?
She decided to work for the slime ball that sprayed all her dirty laundry for the whole world to see. I mean come on she really used the cliché If you can't beat them join them. Why would you put yourself through that or sink that low? I’m upset with the author of the book with the Epilogue teasing us by saying Emily has a new guy in her life but going into no detail at all so were let wondering and guessing whom it could be. Hopefully, not that dude Wally that would really put the last nail in the coffin for me. I gave it a one-star rating just cause I did not like the ending. I just feel it felt flat and Emily got away from guys wanting publicity and selling out to doing that herself. Okay, she made a connection with Wally and had some things in common and he tried to help fix the problems he created. So, if you like a book about how the paparazzi and tabloids can mess up someone's life this book is for you.
Rock Star's Daughter by Caitlyn Duffy
Synopsis: This is a heartwarming yet heart-wrenching story of a girl named Taylor who's mom dies and she has to move in with her Rock Star father who she doesn't even
know and how she now has to deal with all the publicity that comes with it
while trying to be a normal teenager dealing with friends, family, school, and
trying to find love.
I liked this book Taylor's life is living with her entrainment star absent mom who does very little parenting while her daughter is a violinist and academic in the boarding school she attends. I was so sad when Taylor's mom died because of how it hurt her by being uprooted from her home and having to move across the country with her father and his new family she barely knows and has to go on the road with her father's band for the rest of the summer. That leads her to a unique journey. She falls in love with a groupie's son named Jake which she is so happy about to have her first boyfriend, but life problems get in the way she just wants to escape and leave the tour. Her life is turned upside down and she has trouble adjusting. In the end, she finds out that she really likes her step-mom and sister and understands her father's problems with alcohol and cheating than in the end goes to rehab for his problems. Taylor really grows up in this one summer she also learns a lot about herself and the past she did not know. Her so-called bf Jake just wanted her to sleep with her. Once she tells him no he gets angry and they end things on fairly bad terms. In the end, though Taylor ends up with the guy she wanted in the first place her best friend's brother Todd they meet each other he gives her a birthday gift and kisses her. The book ends a bit flat after Taylor attends her concert and sees her stepmom and sister came to see it.
I gave this book a 4-star rating because it totally captured how a young teenager deals with heartache and having her whole world turned upside and just one moment. Taylor's perseverance got her through the troubling transition and ended on a good note with her doing something she loves playing the violin. So if you like a book about a girl who has to move in with her Rock Star dad and deal with the media and just deal with life problems this book is for you.
