My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Blood and
Bone by Paula Dombrowiak tells the story of Jack O’ Donnell, an aging Rockstar
whose led a turbulent life. When he is approached by reporter Erin Langford for
an interview about his old band, he finds himself on a journey of his life both
past and present. The book takes us on a rollercoaster ride into the dark side
of music as well as exploring when the spotlight ceases to be on you.
The book delves
into different parts of Jack’s life weaving the past and the present together
whilst showing the development of the relationship between Jack and Erin as the
story progresses, highlighting vulnerabilities and difficulties as Erin learns
more about Jack and being a reporter and Jack taps into his vulnerabilities,
mistakes and often selfish moments that he has had throughout his career and
life.
This was
a wonderfully written book with some complex characters and illustrating the
harshness and darkness that often comes with fame. Jack is a complicated
character who has complicated relationships, but he definitely wins you over.
This is a deeply emotional book and deals with quite a lot of things which
could be triggers for some readers. If you like emotionally charged Rockstar
books with complex characters, then this is the read for you!
ARC received for a
fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊
