this could have been so much more, but it was kinda boring and it fell pretty flat.
slow-paced
I wanted to like this book more than I did. It felt predictable and slow. I appreciate that Dolly Parton partnered with such a prolific writer as James Patterson, but it just didn't hit the nail on the head like his other books have.

AnnieLee Keyes is determined to hit it big in Nashville singing her own songs. She is trying to escape a life, and is doing her best to hide her past from those she meets. AnnieLee talks her way onto a stage in a Nashville bar, and she wows the audience. Luckily, for her, one of the patrons, Ethan Blake, is a studio musician for a famous retired country star, Ruthanna Ryder. (On the audiobook, Ruthanna is voiced by Dolly Parton). Ethan tells Ruthanna about AnnieLee, and Ruthanna reluctantly goes to listen to her. Of course, Ruthanna takes AnnieLee under her wing and helps to launch her career. But, her past is catching up with her, and AnnieLee is in danger from a nasty man.
This is a predictable story, but it is nice to read a novel co-written by Dolly Parton. I listened to the book, as well as read the hardcover, and I would have liked to hear the songs sung by AnnieLee and the others. They are available on YouTube and a Dolly album.

This was an easy fun read with some dark twists and fun characters to follow.

This book has a little bit of everything; love, music, mystery and of course, Dolly Parton! I really enjoyed this story and this makes me want to dive into the James Patterson world!
Check out the accompanying playlist! I did not realize it was there until I'd finished. Would have been fun to listen to as I read.
