Rising Star: Book One in the Rise and Fall of Dani Truehart Series by Michele Kwasniewski
5.0
I am OBSESSED with this book, with Dani and her story.
Being a YA there were a couple of cringy conversations which I couldn’t imagine would happen between a girl and a guy at that age, but let’s be honest I haven’t been that age for a long time but aside from that I couldn’t put it down. I am just annoyed life and work got in my way and that I couldn’t just sit there and read it.
I could NOT stand Dani’s mother what a god awful, selfish and jealous person. She is vile to Dani, I understand she is jealous, yes, but woman she is your daughter!!!!! And I didn’t like Zoe, apart from a fab name, she also is not a nice girl! I LOVED everyone else from Lauren, Sean, Geena to Martin, Jenner and Terence. I have my eye on Beau too!!
Gosh so much to love about this book, not only do we have a 15-year-old trying to navigate life as a teenager she is now on the brink of stardom. I loved seeing her story, and that gruelling schedule. It was fascinating to see behind the scenes of the music industry but we are only just scratching the surface and Dani’s journey.
It is such a sweet story and has such a feel-good factor to it that you can’t help but keep turning the pages. I was hooked. I really can’t articulate my obsession with this book. I just sat and blasted the last 80 odd pages, and I was completely absorbed in the story. Just so many cute touches to it. It was also refreshing to read a non-crime/thriller book. Aah, you just need to read it! I am off to read the next book, but I am upset as I know I will have to wait a long time for the third book.
I defy anyone to not fall in love with Dani after reading it!
