This is book one of The Rise and Fall of Dani Truehart series.
We follow Dani, a fifteen year old girl who is focused on forging a career as a pop star. She has got pressure from her mother to make it, creating doubts behind people's motivations. Settling into her new lifestyle we see Dani struggle to adjust to her new life, keeping in touch with her friends and family. We get to see some of the highs and lows of recording a debut album.
This book is a debut and is very well written, it's easy to read and the story flows. The chapters are short which I l find can often keep me more interested. It's a compelling read and I found myself engrossed jn the story.
The characters are complex, there are characters you'll like and a certain one you will probably hate. The author does a very good job of fleshing the characters out and giving them life.
Rising Star offers an insight into the world of pop music and recording albums, and the price that comes with fame.
While I love a good YA book I did find that this book felt a little more geared towards the teen ages but it was still a very enjoyable read.
**I received a copy of Rising Star and Burning Bright to review Burning Bright for the bookstagram tour, my opinion is all my own**
