Publisher's Summary

Amber Appleton lives in a bus. Ever since her mom's boyfriend kicked them out, Amber, her mom, and her totally loyal dog, Bobby Big Boy (aka Thrice B) have been camped out in the back of Hello Yellow (the school bus her mom drives). Still, Amber, the self-proclaimed princess of hope and girl of unyielding optimism, refuses to sweat the bad stuff. But when a fatal tragedy threatens Amber's optimism - and her way of life - can Amber continue to be the rock star of hope?

With an oddball cast of characters, and a heartwarming, inspiring story, this novel unveils a beautifully beaten-up world of laughs, loyalty, and hard-earned hope. The world is Amber's stage, and Amber is, well...she's sorta like a rock star. True? True.

    Story
    "After being hooked by Silver Linings playbook....."
    What made the experience of listening to Sorta Like a Rock Star the most enjoyable?

    The story was a positive uplifting one ...Although I think it might have been aimed at a younger audience, but was pleased I gave it a chance anyway.


    Which character – as performed by Cynthia Holloway – was your favorite?

    I liked the bitter old lady in the nursing home because I can relate to her cynicism


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    Not an extreme reaction, but it was one that I couldn't stop listening to


    Any additional comments?

    This book reminds me of a young lady I work with who is the sweetest, most optimistic person Ive ever met despite the loss of her mother as a child and some other tough circumstances...I've recommended she give this a read

    The things I know for sure I am are: Christian, Wife, Mother, Daughter, Granddaughter, Sister, American, Patriot, Friend, Teacher, Student, Seeker, and Thinker. I am far from perfect but I do try to be kind, honest, honorable, trusting and trustworthy. Lover of sunshine, books, southern food, vacations in national parks, singing in my car, cookie dough and icing, and cucumber margaritas.

    Story
    "Heartwarming"
    What was one of the most memorable moments of Sorta Like a Rock Star?

    I love how Amber shortens everyones names to their initials. I also love how she relates to people most teenagers would avoid.


    Have you listened to any of Cynthia Holloway’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I have not but I will now!


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    The parts where she was interacting with the people in the rest home were heartwarming. I loved the battlel.


    Any additional comments?

    This book is probably written for teens but I'm 38 and I really liked it.
