The Rockstars Daughter
I am currently reading The Rockstars Daughter by Catlin Duffy. This book is about a 15 year old girl named Taylor who lives in Hollywood. Her mom was a backgroud singer in commercials and an extreme partier. Taylor's dad is Chase Atwood who is a famous singer in the band Pound. Taylor has only met her dad twice because he is always on tour. Taylor is the complete opposite of her mom and dad. She loves school and reading, she plays the violin and never cared about fashion. She even asked her dad to send her to boarding school since her mom dosn't have lots of money. A couple weeks into the summer Taylors life changes drastically. Her mom was having a party as usual and early in the morning taylor heard the ambulance and saw her mom being dragged out of the pool. She was rused to the hospital but died that afternoon. Taylor was taken to child services and the only family she had was her grandparents in Minnesota. After spending a couple days at child services her dad came and gainded full custody over her. She went on tour with him and his wife Jill and their kid Kelsey. Along the way she meets Jake, whos mom is a groupie and he sells t-shirts at the concerts. They fall in love and when the band goes to detroit, who Jake lives, he takes her to a night club and things get out of hand. I think the book had a good beginning but in the middle it gets slow when its talking about the tour and all of the benefits and what Talyor thinks of the new changes. Overall I think the book is very good, but a little slow at parts.

This book sounds really interesting because the main characters aren't the famous ones, it's about the famous parent's daughter. I love reading books like this where they're set in Hollywood and there's a ton of drama. Is the book kind of like a diary of Taylor struggles in life and how she copes with them?
