Everyone at Hundred Oaks High knows that career mentoring day is a joke. So when Maya Henry said she wanted to be a rock star, she never imagined she’d get to shadow *the* Jesse Scott, Nashville’s teen idol.
But spending the day with Jesse is far from a dream come true. He’s as gorgeous as his music, but seeing all that he’s accomplished is just a reminder of everything Maya’s lost: her trust, her boyfriend, their band, and any chance to play the music she craves. Not to mention that Jesse’s pushy and opinionated. He made it on his own, and he thinks Maya’s playing back up to other people’s dreams. Does she have what it takes to follow her heart—and go solo?

I was mainly interested in this because of the title, naturally. It's basically the book equivalent of a Disney Channel Original Movie. Which! I do love a good Disney Channel Original Movie, but movies get the benefit of having an actual soundtrack and maybe some dance numbers. This was basically just the stock teen characters (a punky girl who's not like other girls because she likes 80s music, a misunderstood teen celebrity) having a stock teen romance. (I realized later that this is part of a loosely connected series of books?) I'd imagine a reader who's liked other books by this author would enjoy this one as well but for me it was just pretty flat and not was I was looking for.
