Run, Rose, Run by Dolly Parton, James Patterson
4.5

Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Dolly Parton being a co-author of this book alone skews the rating. However, for a thriller with James Patterson, they nailed the storyline and kept it true to who Dolly was. In a way, it felt like it was telling bits of her story with a twist and different POV. 

Also, I’ll admit, about 25% through the book, I realized the audiobook might have Dolly narrating - it did PLUS Kelsea Ballerini. Once I figured that out, I never looked back. Run, Rose, Run with Kelsea and Dolly became my soundtrack for three days. I loved it!
