What happens when a guitar rock star and a citydesh reporter meet? It sounds like a great story to take the news over but first time was not a charm at all. Nick is playing his guitar on the fire escape at the wrong moment, when Maddie wants to dedicate to her beauty sleep. But there is also a bit of charm to expect, as Maddie accepts to be his fake girlfriend, as part of a journalistic assignment. With all terms and conditions written down clearly so to be sure nothing awkward happens. You know what people say about rock stars, isnt´t it?
My Rock Star Neighbor by Kathy Strobos has a funny rock-inspired pace and likeable characters. But both of them are not what may expect from their ´job descriptions´. Add to this the New York-based ambiance, a city that may be hard to feel in love with and be accpeted, but once you are in, it´s literally hard to give up on him. Just like it may happen in the case of the interactions between some of our characters.
The book has a good pace and is written in a charming way that it´s impossible to leave you indifferent. Although this rom-com story is built around the fake date of our main characters, there is still so much left besides this topic, which concerns the pure human connection between the two as well as the ways in which relationships may grow, when there is no pressure and need to hurry up.
This book belongs to series dedicated to New York where the author herself lives, and would be definitely interested to continue my discovery of the city through the adventures of Strobos´ characters.
Rating: 3.5 stars
