Despite an intermittently witty voice and a high interest topic,
this trip through the world of pop rock never gets off the ground.
Seventeen-year-old narrator Molly Montgomery finds herself living
the dream of many teenagers as the lead singer in a popular band.
But except for the rush of performing, she just doesn't have much
fun. Her love-hate relationship with a male band member predictably
becomes an anguished love affair, while her close friendships with
the band's other two girls deteriorate. Readers will have to
suspend their disbelief as Molly, who has no musical training,
succeeds by writing songs such as "Hello Kitty Speedboat," and
succumbs to her dishonest manager's blatant manipulations. Molly's
comments on her ex-hippie parents, and her interactions with them,
provide hilarious moments, but not enough of them to get this story
rocking. (Fiction. YA) (Kirkus Reviews)
Seventeen-year-old Molly's band was always just about being a girl
- singing Hello Kitty Speedboat and pretending to play instruments
with her best mates Jane and Tara. But then the arrogant Dean and
his sidekickT hijack the band and suddenly the fluffy girl band
becomes The Hormones - a real band with a record deal - and they're
heading for the big time. Molly slips further and further away from
her old life and straight into a tangled love-hate relationship
with Dean. Then there are the constant parties, the drugs and the
phonies who pretend to like you when they don't...Molly is living
her dream, and she's never felt lonelier in her life. But has she
got the strength to walk away from the band, and start again?
