You'd Be Mine, by Erin Hahn

I really enjoyed this read. With Reality TV having so many talent shows such as America's Got Talent or The Voice, this book fit for a glimpse into the lives that Musical Artists face in regards to making a name in the industry and the travails of life on the Concert Circuit.

Annie Mathers and Clay Coolidge are two young artists, both still in their teens, who have made the big time because of their awesome voices. Clay is the headliner and Annie is the cover band. But Annie's star is rising and might just push Clay off the pedestal.

The life on the road is difficult. Underage drinking is real. Clay is slowly becoming an alcoholic before he even gets out of his teens. Drugs are available, but Clay hasn't used them. Annie on the other hand does neither drinking or drugs. She is a church goer. She is conservative and down to earth.

But Annie's parents were famous Country Western Stars whose footsteps she is following in. But they crashed and burned (both dying young) because of the stress of the road and alcohol.

I thought this book was written so well and points out so many of the issues that young artists face. It does not try to cover up the ugliness of the lifestyle of being on the road. It also doesn't cover up how dysfunctional families cause children to grow up with issues.

I loved the book and I'm sure you will also.
Enjoy!
