Guitar Girl, by Sarra Manning



Fun, pretty good YA.

Molly is being sued for 5,000,000 pounds.

The story of how she got there is funny, poignant, and rings true. Molly, Tara, and Jane decide to start a band- and despite only knowing three chords and one base line, the get to play a friend's party. They totally blow up from there.

The manipulation of image in rock and pop is pretty keenly covered here- the manipulation of the band members by unethical managers and uncaring roadies too.

Molly's voice rang very true here- enjoyable read.
