My Rating---> 3 of 5 STARS
Read on Oct. 21st, 2014
This was a decent read, it was well written and did not have too many overlooked spelling or grammar errors. It also had amazingly strong characters, and though the story was from Lorielai's point of view, it was also broken up at times to allow the other characters to have a fair amount of spotlight sharing. The author, Carina Lupo, made me laugh and cry and at one point I was just as scared as Chris while he was driving on one particular Christmas. But by far my FAVORITE aspect is that Lupo actually had specific songs she was thinking of in place of the ones Lorelai was writing, and I really loved the songs referenced they were perfect choices.
I was so sad for Lorelai and all that she went through as a teen and young adult, she lost everyone she cared about. Lupo did a wonderful job portraying the difficulties and mental state something like this would have caused somebody. Lorelai's relationship with Chris is her saving grace, he brings her back from the brink time and again, and makes her want to truly live her life. Chris is an amazing man, the kind of man any woman would love to bring home to her parents, that personality type along with the band's group dynamic and variety of personalities makes this book what it is and breaks up the sadness and melodrama with a bit of humor.
This isn't your typical rock and roll band and their celebrity status doesn't seem to effect them too much. The whole sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll thing isn't really there, although they do enjoy their earned celebrity they don't let it go to their heads. It seems more like a true to life portrayal of the lives of this band and their AMAZING manager and how they love each other like family. This was a good read, i enjoyed it and I would recommend it to anyone looking for something a bit serious, a tiny bit sad, with a cute romantic twist.
