This book was about Chloe, Laura, and Allie. These 3 teenage girls have formed a band called Redemption and in this book they are on tour after being discovered by a Christian music industry called Omega and it was a success! Well, this book is in first person view and told by Chloe. Chloe loves being on tour but feels uncomfortable singing autographs and being praised so much. Sooner or later she comes around and gets used to it. Well they have constant practice and have concerts that normally turn out great. But Laura starts getting grumpy by the loss of sleep but normally gets pepped up in time for the concert. Then Chloe discovers Allie's Ritalin bottle is empty. Allie doesn't take her Ritalin because it makes her too groggy. Chloe gets suspicious and discovers Laura's got hooked on drugs including Allie's Ritalin. Laura uses her weak strength to get out this mess but of course, uses God's help. Laura comes through and gets off drugs. She tells Omega and they just make her got to a rehab program and Allie and Chloe have to attend Al-Anon classes which are classes for somebody's close friends, family, etc. that are trying to help that person get off of alcohol problems, drugs, etc. During this tour Redemption tours with Iron Cross, a big-hit Christian guy band. Laura confesses her problem to them and national TV. You have to read the book to find out the ending with the band, the romance, the drugs, and what God has in store for them next! I liked the idea of Redemption touring with Iron Cross because since Redemption is a girl band and Iron Cross is a guy band so it gives a romantic twist. I also liked the idea that the angelic girl, Laura, got hooked on drugs even though drugs are awful and I despise them, but it thickened the plot and proved anyone could get hooked on it. It also added suspense and thrills to the story. I disliked the part when Cesar "kisses dating goodbye" because it took away a relationship and like a part of the book which made it interesting. I also disliked that the book ended without a real ending and that you have to find out the ending in the next book when it's just starting. People who enjoy music and want to take a career up in music might like it because it talks about an average group of friends who make it into fame. Girls might like it also because it is told by a girl who falls in love with a guy but the girl admits a silly little crush. So people interested in music and girls might enjoy it the best.
