What an interesting novel!  Set in exciting locale of Music City, Nashville, TN, it is true to its roots.  The major characters are a vital part of the music business and swept up by its competition, pressure, stress, and expectation.  The childhood dreams of a girl who wants only to write music and then sing it for the masses is the basic premise.  As she struggles and labors to build a name for herself into her life comes a megastar who offers her the helping hand she needs.  From him she learns the ins and outs of the business of which she aspires to be a part, some of them not so attractive.  The love story that emerges at length is bittersweet and indicates the true magnetism of a music star, and the power he wields.  Of especial interest to me is the duality of the plot because the star has a twin brother who is his opposite.  Herein lies the conflict and it is HUGE!  The frail ego of the girl is a polar opposite to the gigantic ego of the star to the point that she is totally unable to share a disappointing truth with him.  So often, I wanted to shout at her, "Tell him!"  That is how much the conflict's reality got to this reader.  I recommend this for anyone who wants to see a test of ego and will and root for one or the other.  You will not be disappointed.  The only problem is the temptation to place one of our current Nashville stars in each of the roles! :)
