This book follows two sisters, Cassie and Zoe, as they quickly rise to fame in a pop group in the early 2000’s as well as Zoe’s daughter Cherry,
as she sets out on her own journey to become a famous musician herself and uncover family secrets along the way.
I did love the 2000’s pop scene references and that the author spun a mystery into the story.
However, I felt like I just wasn’t that invested in the characters. I didn’t enjoy the fact that Cassie and Zoe’s appearances were discussed so heavily in the book. I understand it led to the way that they were both perceived and treated and the way they perceived themselves, I guess I just wanted them each to embrace their beauty and talents and realize how powerful they were in their own way. I felt like the potential was there for a great “coming into their own” story but things kind of fell flat for me.
Overall, this was an easy read and I did enjoy many aspects of the book but it was not my favorite of this author’s work.
