3.5 Stars - I came across this book on Netgalley and was immediately intrigued. What Goes on Tour is a sweet story and it was a unique take on the rockstar storyline. Even in third person, Claire manages to create very distinct voices for her characters. It was always easy to tell when Adrian’s thoughts and feelings were the main focus and the transitions to Libby’s time in the spotlight were seamless.I wasn’t sure how much I would like Adrian aka our rocker, “Kent” because he wasn’t your typical bad boy rocker. He has lost a lot and has taken on the role of guardian to his niece, Kate. Trying to keep Kent and Adrian separate while raising a ten-year-old girl on a rock tour has its own challenges. There was definitely enough going on to keep me rooted to the story and interested to see how things would turn out. Especially once Libby, our lovely writer/nanny enters the picture.Libby was an awesome character. I loved seeing the world from a writer’s perspective, watching people and taking in their actions and words as potential pieces of a story. She was also incredibly hardworking and dedicated to telling her stories, even if it wasn’t a financially stable situation. I always admire a character that chases his or her dreams and manages to inspire a similar drive in someone else. Kate was an adorable breath of fresh air in this story and provided the perfect balance to these two very serious adults.This book portrayed some very real emotions and issues and did so in a positive manner. This was one of those stories that leaves your heart feeling light. I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next and I look forward to watching her writing grow and mature in her future books.
