Run, Rose, Run by Dolly Parton, James Patterson
3.0

Dolly Parton is an angel sent from above, and this book is.. fun? I have no idea how to rate this, as it wasn’t necessarily good. The first 90% of the book gives big early-2000s chick-flick vibes, with a Mary Sue main character who is sleeping under a tree one day and the very next day has a record deal and is hanging out with superstars because she’s just so *perfect* and her voice is ~unlike anything anyones ever heard~
Then the last 10% it was like they forgot this was also marketed as a thriller and they gave us the most half-assed mystery and explanation ever? I literally filed this under “feel good” as I was reading it, forgetting that it’s a “thriller”
So… as chick lit and fun, this book did its job, but if you’re looking for a good mystery, then look elsewhere!
