![]() I bet if someone explained a Spanish soap opera to me it would turn out a lot like this book. ![]() I feel like at some point someone must have said to her, "This is a whammy bar," and she immediately thought she should compare it to an emotion and put it in her book. Kuehnert has a minimal knowledge of rock music and equipment jargon which becomes painfully obvious whenever she attempts to use them, usually out of context, and anyone who knows what she is attempting to say will be embarrassed. There is a ton of awkward phrasing and attempts to use musical terms as metaphors that all made me really uncomfortable and I had to keep reading. It reads as a checklist of plot points from a made-for-tv movie on the Lifetime network, featuring such obligatory cliches as: rape, miscarriage, abusive boyfriend, (short-lived) drug addiction, abandonment by mother, etc. ![]() The story is about a teenage girl in Nowhereseville, USA, and her dreams of making it big in her pop-punk trio. ![]() Not sure whether to give this the highest or lowest rating because it should get props for being one of the worst things I've ever read, like a literary mix of the movies "Showgirls," "Crossroads" (Britney Spears, not Ralph Macchio), and "Prey for Rock n' Roll" (Gina Gershon in a rock band). ![]()
