AllisonHF said: From the title, you might not guess the topic of Sort of Like a Rock Star. I thought it would be about a band, but music is a relatively small part of Amber’s life. She uses it to teach English to some Korean immigrants. Later, a senior whom Amber knows uses it to put some life into some depressed older folks. Otherwise, Amber’s story revolves around a stray dog she nursed back to health, her mom with whom Amber has a close relationship even though drugs have become a release for her mom from life’s woes, and being homeless. You’d think this would be enough trauma for a seventeen-year-old to handle, except then a far worse tragedy happens. http://allisonsbookbag.wordpress.com/2013/06/01/sort-of-like-a-rock-star-by-matthew-quick/
