This book made zero sense and was written just badly. There were so many serious things mentioned and touched on in a few sentences. I refuse to believe Dolly had anything to do with it except the lyrics and inspiration behind Ruthanna. God almost a one star it’s like an adhd teenager wrote it.

I listened to the audiobook and I highly recommend it! The performance was great and it kept me so interested! I enjoyed the story and the characters.

This was cute, but somewhat predictable and full of literary tropes. AnnieLee is that perfect woman who is somehow gorgeous and doesn’t know it, is tiny and fierce, and forgets to eat (I never understand this one- do people actually forget to eat???). She doesn’t come across as particularly likeable either. I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed hearing Dolly and the different characters, but other than it was just okay.

Annie Lee wants to be able to sing her heart out to the world around her, but the past just keeps sneaking up on her and it is a dangerous one.
It is an audiobook I borrowed from my public library, but it is a book on my physical TBR, so 1 of 96 done. Lol! I have a long way to go.
I TRIED to like this book! I love Dolly and James, but I did not love this book. It was such a struggle to keep going. The audiobook is told in all cast, including Dolly herself. The book...read more like a radio show and should have probably been a movie, not a book.
The lyrics in the book were dull because the cast is reciting them like you would at a poetry reading. And I grew tired of hearing the narrator say Annie Lee so many times. This character had me from the beginning, but then she just drastically changed.
I didn't understand that if she is running away from a dangerous past and doesn't want to be found, why in the world did you choose to be a country singer and be famous?! Just because you changed your name, doesn't mean your face changes too!
I'm more or less venting now. I found the story not entirely believable and found it also concerning that this woman is in trouble keeps telling herself to forget it and it'll go away. Time and time again that method doesn't work. I liked Dollys character, but not entirely as she does make some odd choices herself.
Too many side stories with not enough character development - this is purely my opinion. I'll always love Dolly and James Patterson. If you like a thriller type story with country music then I would say give it a try.
