Review: Good idea, mediocre execution
Rating: 3 out of 5

First, I have to get this off my chest: Why was this book $2.99? It was way too short for that. Seriously! To call this book a novella is an exaggeration. I have read short stories that were substantially longer.Although with independent publishers one should expect some typos, the number of typos in this very short work was distracting. I found myself reading with a mental red pen and marking mistakes.The idea behind the story was good and I would have loved to see it more developed and played out. I wanted the band members to have more rounded characters than just the two dimensional drinking, partying, whoring rock stars they were painted as. I would have liked to see more of Emmy's childhood and her interaction with them. What happened when four single men told child services that they wanted to take responsibility for a teenage girl? I really wanted more from this book.
