Summary:
A song of the suburbs: a story of family, friends, first love, tragedy, hope and rock and roll
It's 1976 and with dreams of a career in rock, a crush on the prettiest girl in town, and a mother in remission from cancer, Mike’s future looks bright.
Music brings excitement and a chance to shine, but life off-stage is complicated.
Together with family, friends and band-mates, Mike finds joy, sadness and loss. Troubling secrets surface while a new friend brings both fresh perspectives and a cruel reality. The radios and pubs blast rock into the suburban nights and the band prepare for their big break. Is Mike ready?
Review:
Firstly thank you to Love Books Tours, Bluescale Publishing and Paul Marriner for having me on this tour and sending me a copy of the book to review.
I have to admit I've struggled to get into this book, I've actually put it down and picked it back up a few times. I mean the book is very well written and it's not difficult to read I just don't think I'm connecting well with the characters.
I do like that the chapters each have a song at the top and I am very tempted to create a playlist from them, and I think it'd be good to maybe read the book to it
The character cast so far in what I've read is small but well-described, so you can easily have a picture in your head of what they look like and for most of them, you can picture their reactions to what's occurring.
As I said I've not read far into it because I've just not managed to connect and get into the book, but I will keep going and ill come back to edit my review when I do.
