There was A LOT from the book that was left out of the movie, I assume for obvious reasons, but I kind of had a feeling that would happen. Regardless, it was a decent movie. I don't know if I really bought Daniel Webber as Vince Neil. Machine Gun Kelly played Tommy Lee as a lovable goofball for the most part, but wasn't Tommy Lee kind of an asshole? I felt like the whole thing was a bit glossed over. Don't get me wrong, they do the Nikki Sixx/heroin thing, and the Vince Neil/Razzle accident, and the death of Vince Neil's daughter, but I didn't feel like it was as....gritty as it could have, or should have, been. That being said, it was entertaining enough to hold my attention for an hour and 47 minutes, and the music is of course awesome.

This story was super adorable. The characters personalities were well throughout and they fit their roles perfectly. The story had a really nice flow to it. I enjoyed that the characters weren’t rushed. There was no instant relationship. It was a nice build up. Alec was dedicated and super sweet. Kelly was a little naïve in the beginning but I feel she grew throughout the story. I don’t like when previous characters take over the book. I like when they're put into scenes and we learn how their life has been. In this case she moves in with her sister so those characters have no choice but to be there. I just feel that the moments that the script turns to other characters we lose time on what the main characters are doing. Overall it was a good read and I would like to continue reading more of this authors books.

When her father unexpectedly dies, she decides to pick up the threads of his life while she figures out her own. Uprooting herself from Ann Arbor to New York City, Mia takes over her father's cafe, a treasured neighborhood institution that plays host to undiscovered musicians and artists. She's denied herself the thrilling and unpredictable life of a musician, but a chance encounter with Will, a sweet, gorgeous, and charming guitarist, offers her a glimpse of what could be. When Will becomes her friend and then her roommate, she does everything in her power to suppress her passions—for him, for music—but her father's legacy slowly opens her heart to the possibility of something more.

In this well-written book by author Susan McBride, she draws you into a story about a girl that was failed by those that were supposed to look out for her and take care of her. It brings to light a factor that many young people face today concerning bullying, loneliness, and trying to fit in. Through the character of Jo, you see the story unfold as she investigates and discovers the parallels between her own childhood and that of the young girl she is investigating.
