Review: I don't get it...

I bought this book due to the great reviews and it being about a rock star. What I found was not at all what I was expecting. Maybe I am comparing it to too many of the indie books about modern day rock star bad boys, but this book was nothing like those in my opinion. First, this is set in the late 70s to early 80s, which kinda put me off even though I grew up during this time. Too much real life bad press about 70s rock stars already soured me on them, if I had known this wasnt set in present day I wouldnt have purchased it. Second, the book really dragged for me. There wasnt even a lot of interaction between Rick and Shelby (who the book is about) after they leave Greece. I understand this was the major point of the book, but it just dragged and dragged between sightings/meetings until the final meeting. I mean, how many times do I need to go through Rick being put through hell? And without Shelby even being physically involved in the scenario? I get it! He is in love with her and only her, nothing else will ever fill the void!!! Let's actually have something happen other than more tragedy different day or year?  I wasn't going to even finish at first, but then after a couple of days after stepping away I decided I would. The ending was sweet and serene, but it was a bit too little too late for me, I lost interest half way in and barely cared by the end. Sorry for the negative review, just wasn't a book for me, and based on other reviews I am in the minority thus far.
