Characters felt distant
None of the characters made much impression on me, including Marilyn and her daughter Angie, and I only really felt much empathy when Marilyn's audition nerves were described. As a result, despite the easy flow of the writing, I don't feel a great desire to read further.
The cover looks colourful, almost gaudy, and designed to appeal to the novel's young adult audience.
