Review: Five stars for gritty, real, depictions of stuff most writers gloss over...

This book is a bit of a dichotomy for me.  For one thing, I don't love Rock Star Romances.  They're sort of all the same, 'omg, he's famous, what does he see in me, with all those panties flying at this head?'  Ugh...  The other thing is I don't typically give a lot of five star reviews.  I give tons of four stars.  Four stars means I like it a lot, but it hasn't changed my life in any way shape or form.Death of a Rock Star is Five Stars.DoaRS is a gritty, real depiction of the seedier side of rock stardom.  It also takes place in the UK, which is different.  The emotions are real.  The depiction of the downward spiral of addiction is real.  I can't tell you too much because I don't want to give anything away, but I am in love with Blake and have been since I had the honor of reading/critiquing this novella.  As a member of NJ's writing group (I'm so proud to say that), I have read parts of Boy in the Band, and it is equally amazing.Tissues people.  You'll need tissues.  This one will stick with you a while.
