rock on

Molly, Jane, and Tara are determined to be a part of the girl revolution. They get some instruments, teach themselves three cords, and are ready to rock. At one of their first gigs, they meet Dean. He has the nerve to tell them they need improvement, and basically forces himself and his pal, T, into the band. The Hormones are born. Despite the fact that Molly and Dean hate each other, the band hits it big. The Hormones become a huge hit, traveling the world. They are living the good life of rock and roll excess-- on the outside. The truth is that Tara and T don't talk, except to each other. Jane is battling addictions of all kinds. Molly is being threatened and manipulated by their manager, Paul, and she has to hide the one bright spot in her life: her relationship with Dean. Will Molly hit superstardom, or will she lose herself completely, and crash and burn?

Sex, drugs and Rock n Roll is all my body needs

when i first saw this book i thought "o, a book all about a derranged Avril Lavigne wannabe" well as i was stuck with what to read i chose this book, by the time Dean was introduced i was hooked! i read the book in one night unable to put it down, then again the next day. through out the whole book i empapthised with Molly, whilst she was introdused to fame, fortune and sex! As she became a rock star and fell in love i found my self falling in love! toward the end i found myself wanting it all to turn out ok! Me being in a band myself i found that my need to do the whole sex drugs and rock n roll cliche grew, as it became more appealing yet disturbing just as molly found her transformation. I recommend this book to anyone who loves to ROCK. As we follow Jane, Tara, T, Dean and MOlly into the world of Rock n roll. filled with Cliche's, sex drugs and of course where would you be without Rock n Roll all I can say is "i just cant wait for the film!!"

I Love This Book!

This book is awesome. The perfect teen rock story. It's realistic without being boring, and funny without being silly. I don't even think you need to know or even like rock to appreciate the story. There wasn't a boring moment in the whole story. I hope there might one day be a movie or a sequel. I can't get enough of this book.

One of my favorites.

It was an awesome book. Molly became a virtual hero of mine. I fell in love with the characters and couldn’t put the book down because I had to see what happened next. I got attached to it then when I was finished I was all bummed out. The ending was so sad and moving that I cried. Yeah, don’t laugh. Sometimes it was angsty, sometimes it was fluffy, and sometimes it was sad. I wanted it to go on, like a sequel, but in the end I just read it over about nine times. This was a book that was FUN to read!

Buy This Book If You Want A Great Read

Ok, I read a lot of books, but this is one of the very, very best. Guitar Girl is a fabulous book about a teen girl named Molly Montgomery, who with her two friends Jane and Tara, decide to start a band. They're just okay, maybe even a little worse, but then along comes Dean, who pushes Molly's buttons ever so much, but he promises super stardom if he and his friend T can join. They do, and the band gets signed to a record label and they are as big as everyone knows teen pop can get. But it aint all fun and games because Molly has to deal with a power abusing manager, the fact that Dean and her hate eachother (or maybe they're just pretending because they have the hots for eachother), and the effect that being in the spotlight can have on the young and famous. I loved this book sooooo much, and if you are looking for a read that builds up to a great climax, and then leaves you numb with the after effects, you have found it. I honest to god cried. I dont cry for anything, not books, movies or funerals. Get it and you wont be dissapointed.
