Denver’s goals are simple: Be bold. Get seen. Be heard. When she is met with the chance of a lifetime—the possibility of being the next rising R&B star—she gives up everything in her old life and doesn’t look back. While this book reminded me of the pretend concerts I used to have on my Gram’s pool deck every summer, it certainly was not all sunshine and rainbows. Charles draws from her own experiences to shed light on the utter deceits of the music industry. It was real and raw, and I am still heartbroken at its ending. All I can do now is hope all of the real Denvers and Dalisays of the world make it home safely. 

Side note:  Does anyone know which R&B group the author was in? Apparently my self-taught FBI skills are not working atm! 🤪😵‍💫
