Dear Rockstar

Dear Rockstar by Emme Rollins

My rating (out of 5 stars):

2 stars—It was okay.

Goodreads Description:

“Sara is obsessed with rock star Tyler Vincent, and as she works to complete her senior year, she’s determined to find a way to meet him—although her best friend, Aimee, keeps telling her to find a different escape from her desperately violent home life.

Complications arise when Dale, the mysterious new transfer student, sets his sights on Sara, and she falls for this rock-star-in-the-making in spite of her better judgment. When Sara wins a contest, she is faced with a choice—travel to Tyler Vincent’s home town to meet him, or stay and support Dale in a Battle-of-the-Bands hosted by MTV.

Their triangulated relationship is pushed to its breaking point, but there is another, deeper secret that Dale’s been keeping that just may break things wide open...

Turn up your collar, feather your hair, and splash on some Polo, because we’re going back to the ‘80’s when MTV played music videos, there was no such thing as American Idol, and becoming a star meant doing nothing short of crazy for that one, big break.”

My Thoughts:

This book starts out very slowly, and the plot is ridiculous. Mid-book takes a turn and is intense…but actually crosses into super creepy territory. I’m a little unsure why I kept reading this to the end, but since I did, I gave it two stars. Plus I have a hard time giving one star ratings unless the writing is also terrible. I think this author may have something better out there, this particular plot just wasn’t my thing.

Who Should Read:
I wouldn’t recommend this one. Like the rock-star romance theme? Try “Lick” by Kylie Scott or “Hard Rock Arrangement” by Ava Lore.
