FAN GIRL by BRANDACE MORROW

 
Little more than a girl when Ali meets him, his voice resonates with her in a time when she needs it most. As an adult, Deklan has the potential to devastate her.

Deklan Thomas catches Ali Pierce's attention at a young age. Not that he notices. His band Rolling Bridges provides Ali the escape she desperately needs from her home life. Music. It's during this journey that she is confronted with what she has attempted to suppress all along. Her discontent with herself.

Refusing to settle for mediocrity, Ali sets off on a mission. Moving to the Big Apple, she gains a new outlook on life, a snarky online friend, a college degree, and a unique internship others would kill to have.

Though she grows leaps and bounds, her first love remains the same. Nothing can keep her from the music—music that will lead her down a road of passion and predicament that even the new Ali is unsure she can handle.

Is Deklan ready to give up his rocker lifestyle? And does Ali really want to be put in the spotlight after so many years in the shadows?

*****MY REVIEW*****

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I heard the word 'Fan Girl' and saw the word 'Rocker' and told myself why not give it a try. I was glad I read this one because it had a different look on the whole rock star romance theme. The characters were funny and loveable and for a debut novel the author did an excellent job.

The story revolves around
Ali Dawson Pierce.
Ali's parents has money but didn't share the love that she wanted to experience. She wanted to be normal and enjoy the one thing she loved the most: Rolling Bridges and their music. She was a constant disappointment to her parents who wanted her to be a part of the upper class society however she chose to follow her love for music and Rolling Bridges.
Instantly when Ali meets Deklan I could feel the connection there. The story line had me guessing on when the two would get together but instead the author chose to focus on Ali growing up which made me feel the story was going in another direction. Brandace had me guessing so many times within this book that I actually love it. I honestly wanted Ali to fall in love and didn’t care if it was a rock star or not because I loved her that much.

Then we have Deklan.

Who knew that the girl he was hoping for was someone he knew for years. The twist and turns that led them together was unbelievable. Deklan was patient, kind, loving and a good guy. Add all the elements that I just mentioned and a sexy rock star image and I got me a hot rocker.

Fan Girl will have you laughing and wanting your own Deklan.
I rated this a 4 star because I felt that the story started to get a little slow around 60%. Sometimes a lot of points were repeated but I stuck it out just to find out how the book ended. I just wish the story would have developed a little faster and not dragged on.
I would definitely recommend this read if you love a good rock star and a hot mouth confident female.
