  • What I liked: I liked the story of rise to fall to fame, I liked that it showed how
    slimy managers could be
    , I liked that it showed the worst side of the music industry in a way that fit a YA novel
  • What I disliked: I disliked that it was a YA novel when it could've done so much more as a fiction novel. I don't like that Molly was so oblivious to a lot of things that it almost made it hard to even begin to ascertain what she was missing.
    I dislike that the band went on tour as a one-hit wonder.
     
  • Overall thoughts: Very cute book, really fun at parts with the dark underneath that really works for the music industry. Could've been much more if it dipped into those harder. 
  • Recommend to a friend? Y for young readers or someone looking for a fun quick read
