Dolly's influence was evident throughout with her knowledge of the country music scene and Nashville in particular and James Patterson's usual style of writing short chapters made it one of those 'just one more chapter' novels that soon had the pages whipping towards a conclusion。 I liked the main characters of AnnieLee, a talented young singer determined to make it big in country music, Ruthanna Ryder, a top country artiste who acts as friend and mentor to the young woman and the lovely Ethan who stands by AnnieLee as she goes through some awful times。 The extent of her troubled past is revealed later in the book where there are also some heart thumping scenes to crank up the tension。 Overall I loved this book。 It was especially enjoyable coming across so many well known names in the country music business for anyone who is into this genre of music as I most definitely am。 I would love this to be made into a film and the soundtrack is already there - it was nice to read the song lyrics of titles referred to in the book at the end。 My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a pre-release copy of the book in exchange for my honest opinion。 。。。more

Most definitely。I LOVE music industry books, and obviously this one was particularly a delight because of Dolly and the way her insider expertise consistently shone through, especially concerning anything songwriting。 Loved, loved, loved that - the fact that she’s written a whole album to go with this book plus all other promotion truly makes you appreciate her sheer enthusiasm for this project and it came through several times in the book and those moments always made me smile。 HOWEVER, that said, the storyline here is otherwise pretty generic - beautiful girl with a beautiful voice takes the music scene by storm entirely too easily etc etc all the while outrunning past demons etc etc but gets help along the way from wise queen of country and goodhearted army vet also with past demons and don’t forget good truck taste etc etc。 Honestly I could cheerfully get past this just for the joy of Dolly’s music wisdom sparkling throughout, but then there’s the whole thriller aspect thing of this book, which always sort of startled me whenever the violence suddenly punched itself into the narrative, always getting me like, what is this Jack Ryan or whatever nonsense intruding on the extended episode of Nashville I was enjoying? But I digress。 I had a lot of fun listening to this, I didn’t think too much, and it was a great time。 Love you Dolly 😘😘 。。。more

The audio book was very enjoyable because there was a whole cast of people who voiced different characters including Kelsea Ballerini and Dolly herself。 Dolly voiced the character of Ruthanna and I loved her parts! I’ve seen some people say the lyrics to the songs seemed out of place or took away from the story。 I have disagree。 For me it added to the story since the story revolved around the music scene。 Not to mention Dolly recorded an album of songs set around this book based on the different characters from the story。 The album releases the Friday before the book and I think the lyrics will be more enjoyable then when you can refer to the album and listen to the song the lyrics come from。 Overall I loved this book and I can’t wait for its official release Monday March 7th! I highly recommend this book to everyone! 5 huge stars!! 。。。more

#RunRoseRun #NetGalley I was intrigued when I saw this collaboration。 James Patterson has been one of my favourite thriller writers for many many years but I was unsure how the country theme would fit it, however as I am a huge country fan and love Dolly I was keen to give this a go。 Whilst it is not a thriller in the normal sense that we have come to expect from James Patterson, there are definitely darker sides to the plot and not just a rags to riches country story。 Dolly's input is plain to #RunRoseRun #NetGalley I was intrigued when I saw this collaboration。 James Patterson has been one of my favourite thriller writers for many many years but I was unsure how the country theme would fit it, however as I am a huge country fan and love Dolly I was keen to give this a go。 Whilst it is not a thriller in the normal sense that we have come to expect from James Patterson, there are definitely darker sides to the plot and not just a rags to riches country story。 Dolly's input is plain to see with her knowledge of country music and the good and the bad of how the industry operates。 Parts of the book reminded me of the hit series Nashville (which I loved) and I could certainly see this as country music film! My verdict? I ABSOLUTELY LOVED it! I could not put it down and read it in 2 days。 If you are a James Patterson fan or a country music fan, I don't think you will be disappointed。 A brilliant 5 stars! 。。。more

And having visited Nashville and followed the country music scene for years, there are some great song lines, singers names, and happy memories it brings to me。 I think Country fans will enjoy it, and look forward to the album of music that will be released alongside it。 I'll be purchasing the album for sure! But I also think that someone buying this book as a fan of James Patterson, looking for his style of thriller genre writing, would be let down。 。。。more

Sara Oxton,
A Fair four-star read。 I don’t know if I was simply expecting too much from this one, or what。 I adore James Patterson and Dolly Parton separately so thought that together there would be magic, but it missed the mark。 Annie needed more depth to her, she didn’t feel real to me, almost like life happened to her rather than she had a life。 It is a good story overall, but missed some depth in places。

No。 Dead people? Also No。 I could believe Dolly wrote this book but not JP。 The characters were what I call surface。 I didn’t really care for any of them。 And it’s hard to believe the series of coincidences that came about really fast。 But I wasn’t thrilled or remotely scared。I have read everything James Patterson has written。 This is becoming a pattern almost。There are 12 songs included in the back。 Just lyrics。 Not sure why they were included。NetGalley/ March 7th, 2022 by Little, Brown, and Company 。。。more

On the day I began reading this book, the BBC ran several programmes about Dolly Parton’s life and music。 I must confess I am a big fan of Miss Parton and the programmes prompted me to play her music while reading this book。 Like most of James Patterson’s books, this is a quick and easy read with short chapters and a very fast plot。 It tells a story of a young girl coming to Nashville with her head full of dreams, the usual down on her luck hillbilly type person with a heart of gold。 So far, so On the day I began reading this book, the BBC ran several programmes about Dolly Parton’s life and music。 I must confess I am a big fan of Miss Parton and the programmes prompted me to play her music while reading this book。 Like most of James Patterson’s books, this is a quick and easy read with short chapters and a very fast plot。 It tells a story of a young girl coming to Nashville with her head full of dreams, the usual down on her luck hillbilly type person with a heart of gold。 So far, so cliché。 As a fan of country music, I enjoyed the name checking of other country artists and the song lyrics that were peppered throughout the story。 I have to admit, though, that I was disappointed with the lightweight plot and several large plot holes that occurred throughout。 Miss Parton’s fingerprints were all over the references to country music and they were very well done。 However, the thriller element was clumsy and haphazardly inserted。 At times, the plot jumped from one place to another with no logical explanation of how the characters got there。 I feel that Miss Parton was not well served by Mr。 Patterson and, at the end of the day, an opportunity to have produced a very good country and western based book was wasted。I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book。 All thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more
