Rising Star: Book One in the Rise and Fall of Dani Truehart Series by Michele Kwasniewski

5.0

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest opinion.

Well, my first 5 star rating of the year and one I wasn't expecting.
This book was really good at portraying the life of a pop star, from the early stages of her career to her road to making it big. We live it all through the eyes of Dani our main protagonist. her struggles, her dealing with an more than oportunistic mother who just wanted money and fame vicariously through her daughter..
We see her trying hard to mantain her relationships and how it's quite a difficult task, due to long hours, tigh schedules and just simply being too tired to reach out.. It's easy to see the background and research the author had on the entertainment industry.. You can feel the effort one has to go through to reach stardom.
The character development on this book is top of the line, it only enriches the story.
It starts a little on the slow side but once it picks up you'll fly through it, it's easy to read and very engrossing which I appreciate a lot because that's what I'm looking for these days, to be taking out from my reality for a while.
Thank you to the author for gifting me with this book and I'm looking forward to reading more from her.
