About this ebook
Smashing...the characters are unforgettable raves Amy Tan; "funny, authentic, and moving" says Dave Barry; "the female Kinky Friedman has arrived" lauds Olivia Goldsmith. This hilarious, fast-paced novel about musicians, love, and family is the literary debut of Kathi Kamen Goldmark, founder of the Rock Bottom Remainders, the publishing industrys hottest band. The tale follows sexy Sarah Jean Pixlie as she catapults from struggling back-up singer to blazing star on the country music scene. Along the way, she pours out her irreverent, savvy soul in the delicious, humorous lyrics to more than a dozen original songs, including "Put Me on the Guest List (To Your Heart)," "Hell on Heels," and "My Baby Used to Hold Me (Now He's Putting Me on Hold)." Witty and fresh, this romp is a great performance on stage and on the page.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a fun, breezy novel, a comedy about the country music scene. The book is sort of a groovy fable, reminiscent to me of stories like the movie Bagdad Cafe, where everything is breezy and all the characters just a little to perky and quirky and cool to be believable. So, as I said, the book is fun, but you have to be in the mood for that sort of thing. There were some of the pacing problems one might expect from a first-time novelist, as Goldmark was when she wrote this. But Goldmark was not an amateur writer. She was involved in both music and publishing and authored many essays, so the writing here is pretty much devoid of annoying cliche and the characters, while sweet, are not, at least to me, sickly sweet.Fun for me personally was that most of the story takes place in Lake County, California, which is just next to Mendocino County, where I live. Goldmark, who, sadly, passed away a few years back from cancer, was a fairly well known figure in the San Francisco literature scene and was also a member of the Rock Bottom Remainders, a rock band made up of a revolving roster of published writers, including Stephen King and Dave Barry.I can recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun, light read, but don't be looking for much in the way of real life here.
