Jessamyn Violet
Acclaimed musician Jessamyn Violet's debut LGBTQA+ novel sizzles with a coming-of-age story set in an industry of ambition, secrets, lies, and utter joy.
Eighteen-year-old Kyla Bell dreams of one day being a professional musician . . . but gets little to no support from her parents. Still, she practices every day and performs locally, harboring her own secret hopes. One night, her dreams are answered in the form of sultry rocker Ruby Sky, the magnetic frontwoman of her favorite band, Glitter Tears. Ruby hears Kyla perform and asks her to join the band on keys for their upcoming tour.
In order to accept, Kyla must drop out of her Western Massachusetts high school and move to Los Angeles immediately to live with a renowned yet highly volatile producer who has agreed to put her through "rock star boot camp" in a matter of weeks. Blindsided by her emerging feelings for Ruby Sky, Kyla tumbles through the lights and shadows of the nineties music scene in Los Angeles.

When Kyla enters the star studded world of Hollywood, she begins to wonder if they might not have been correct. Old rich men confidently flirt with young women. Music idols reveal their dark sides of drinking and depression. The band is constantly fighting, and Kyla is afraid she may never, they may never, make it to their planned tour.
When band lead Ruby Star has an unplanned pregnancy, the importance of friendship versus career motivations are put to the test. The band grows closer as they come together to help Ruby. With her friends help, Ruby decides not to cancel the tour.
This book was decent. I did not particularly care for Kyla’s homophobic mother, but understand that she suffered from mental health issues and may not have been fully to blame for her prejudice. The plot was fun, but I did not feel any high stake tension. It was a cute YA read.
