Amber Appleton gave me hope that individuals can rise above circumstance, being misunderstood and experiencing devastating loss to become stronger in the end. Throughout the book, Amber inspires those around her but it isn't until she accepts help - allows herself to be weak - that she fully blossoms into a person who understands all the sides of pain and loss. SORTA LIKE A ROCK STAR was one of my three favorite books of the year.Laura Sibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05860596073100192161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632611338168133022.post-89424677815310516472010-12-20T11:27:22.026-08:002010-12-20T11:27:22.026-08:00This was one of my top reads of the year!
