A don't-judge-a-book-by-its-cover book. As always, I read a Kindle sample first (thank GOD, or I'd have missed this one). Rock Star's Girl is the story of independent web-writer and twenty-something Emily, who's been friends with wannabe rock star Jesse for four years. There's a simmering, long-standing attraction between them. They have the caring, flirty conversations any girl might have with a trusted friend with whom she'd love to explore the next level, and he's responding in kind... so she More...

God I hate the paparazzi and tabloids cause they lie and stretch the truth all the time about celebrities lives how do they even live like that. Plus to get paid money for that crap yuck but us as the normal and not popular eat it up why? Well it was a good but up until the last few chapters that why I gave it only one star. Yea I figure Emily was not going to end up with either guy but to sell out and start writing for the tabloid guy Wally Hood disgusting why would she do that he ruin More...

Do you remember being a young girl and having that rock star girl fantasy? I do! It was Rick Springfield and I didn’t care if he was 20+ years older than me, I wanted to marry him. When Samantha from Chick Lit Plus Blog Tours asked me if I wanted to review JF Kristin’s book “Rock Star’s Girl”, I was hooked the second I read the synopsis.

I loved this book. I found it so fascinating for the little glimpse into the life of a rock star's “girlfriend”. In what appears to be such a superficial world, More...

Emily Watts is an over-worked yet still struggling writer who tries to keep a social life with her workaholic schedule. While taking a break from her fashion website, Emily attends a concert for her friend Jesse Cinder, a struggling musician searching for his big break. Emily has been friends with Jesse for years, but is wondering if maybe they shouldn’t be more. When Jesse turns her down, Emily feels humiliated- but quickly rebounds when she meets Cory Sampson, who is the lead singer in a popul More...

I'm quite surprised that this has such low ratings. It's actually a pretty sneaky book that had me pulling at my hair trying to figure out who's real and who's fake. I'm taking a wild guess it's because of the ending that doesn't agree with even my own expectations, but that's why I loved it. It was realistic.

The author makes a good point showing you just how much the rumor-mill can destroy someone's life.

Emily is a wonderful, independent, incredibly smart, and unfortunately a very, very naive y More...

I forgot to add the review for this book.

I actually enjoyed this book through most of it. Then the end happened. That wasn't an ending to a book, it was barely a beginning. You go through this book with the heroine and you learn all the good, the bad, and the really ugly about the 2 men in her life. I rooted for one of those men to man up and get his crap together. Then the ending occurred.

(view spoiler)[Which was no ending at all. She didn't end up with either guy that you have learned about through the book. (hide spoiler)] More...

First off I want to say my rating has nothing to do with how well this book is written. It was a pretty good story except I'm a love story kind of a girl. And this was most definitely NOT a love story. This was about a girl who fell for two rock stars and realized that in the entertainment industry publicity is publicity good or bad, and when you are a star or a rising star you WANT either kind even if you have to use the people close to you to get it. Unfortunately Emily had to learn the hard w More...

I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting to read a story where the main character is 26 years old.

This book has that young adult feel, but is set around adult characters. They have jobs, responsabilities and their judgement is not clouded by their teenage hormones.

Emily Watts is a lovable character. She's a strong woman who has a head on her shoulder. I felt like she could've been one of my friend.

The love interest is everything you'd want but with a touch of reality, meaning that he is More...

Emily Watts is a workaholic fashion blogger living in Hollywood, California. Between keeping her business (online fashion-snark blog, Zeeked) up and running and the freelance writing work she does to keep herself afloat financially, she doesn’t have much time for relationships, or keeping up with who’s who in Hollywood.

I have to admit, I expected this book to be a typical chick-lit rendition of nice, normal girl finds rock star boyfriend, gets famous, a few random things happen, but ultimately More...

Rock Star’s Girl by J.F. Kristin is set in Los Angeles and shows how the paparazzi can ruin the lives of not only the rich and famous, but those they interact with. This has a definite Chick-Lit vibe to it with a subtle romantic undertone and an amazingly written heroine. Since it was free on Kindle and the blurb really caught my interest, I downloaded it. And I’m so glad I did!

I had some doubts about this one because I'll be honest, most of the self-published books that are free for a limited t More...

3.5 stars
Emily Watts is the epitome of a RockStar groupie, but not by choice, her friend, Jesse who also plays into some serious confusion on his part as to if they are just friends, or if they are more then that. She's a low-key runner of a fashion website as long as writing editorals for a magazine. But overnight, with the help of lead singer Cory Sampson. She becomes a tabloid sensation and her website and column explode with popularity. Is dating a superstar all its cracked up to be? or wil More...

I really enjoyed this story about a "normal" girl whose life turns completely upside down when she starts dating a celebrity and, according to the gossip columns, two celebrities! The main character, Emily, was extremely easy to like as she was very down-to-earth and stable and not someone you tend to see on the cover of gossip magazines. I liked that she was vulnerable enough to let herself fall for the wrong guys and become distracted from her work yet, strong enough to know when it was time t More...

I have to admit, I didn't expect much from this book going into it. I got it because it came up in my recommendations on Amazon and it sounded like a fun read for a vacation, plus it was super cheap.

As it turns out, I was in for a bit of a surprise. I actually really liked the book! It was entertaining, engaging, and funny. The characters were well-rounded.

Though, I was also a bit surprised - considering that this is a book about a girl who dates rock stars - that there was no "sex, drugs, and r More...

Emily spends her time maintaining her fashion blog and enough freelance work to just make the ends meet. But, she takes one evening off to see her friend Jesse's band preform. At the event she meets Cory Sampson the lead singer in another band, which has already had at least one hit and potential for more.
Suddenly, Emily finds herself half of the new it couple on all the celebrity blogs and gossip sites. That is not only effecting her personal life, but her professional life, as advertisers and More...

I'm rather surprised by all the low ratings for this book. I thought the writing was intelligent and it flowed, the characters well fleshed out and the plot excellent. The best friend relationship between Emily and Shelby was realistic and heartwarming. So in the end both Prince Charmings turned out to be frogs-who cares? Sometimes a happily ever after where Cinderella turns out to be her own hero is just what you need anyway!! Highly recommend!

So, there were some things I really liked about this story. I loved the idea, plot, the sorta triangle, the dialogue, the headlines.

But there was way more I found disappointing. For one, it contained way way way too many boring, tedious details. More action! More romance! Second, I never really felt like Emily had real feelings for Jesse or Cory either. And while I felt her angst, I wanted more romance. And the ending? Unsatisfying.

This isn't my kind of book, as I like romances. However, it was a fantastic read. Emily was a little crabby most of the time and she reminded me of Lucy from Charlie Brown. So, many conversations were snarky instead of polite. Once I got accustomed to the author's language, it was a very entertaining read. I liked learning of the entertainment blogs, the gossipy environment, rock stars looking for any publicity, wannabes, etc.

Smart female lead character.

Two rock stars... one girl who has feelings for both. Are they after her for her charms or is there something else that is attracting them to her?

She is not a pushover! Totally different ending to any romance novel. Would absolutely recommend to those who want to read about an independent woman fully in charge of her destiny.

2.5. There were many good moments in this story, but as a whole it left me very unsatisfied. I liked the first half (though it didn't grab me and pull me in), but the second half started annoying me. I began to feel like she was a total bitch, and a wimp. Maybe I just like my romances with a HEA. I wouldn't really classify this as a romance at all though, so keep that in mind.

This was a roller coaster - a book with a feeling of "real" emotions behind the writing and plot. This is one of those "it could happen to you" type of stories. I loved everything about it. The ending was just okay for me. I wished it could have been a little "more", though it's what I wanted. If you read, I think you'll understand what I mean.

I found this book through a site that had books like "thoughtless" by SC Stephens. I really liked this book but felt the ending could of been different and I would of enjoyed that more. Corey Sampson, Emily Watts and Jesse Cinder were great charcters which kept me interested in the book. Just wished it ended differently. I recommend this.

Fun, relatable and surprising. I don’t read chick lit often, so to capture my interest in this genre I have to be pulled in right away. Finally, we have a female protagonist (Emily Watts) who isn’t lost, ditzy or dying for a man. Emily Watts is who I want to meet when I read chick lit – she’s smart, focused and sarcastically funny.

The pop culture references incorporated by the author make the reading fun, relevant and light. It’s visually very descriptive. I felt like I was following along the w More...

Cory I loved you. You've been an ass and I HATE you to the last letter.

I thought Emily would end up with Jesse but the author decided something else, which is wise. Good on you Emily.

Would you say it's realistic? Yes, I think it is. Never really had or experienced the Hollywood life.

Would you recommend the book? Yes, to people who fancy a change.

Rock Star's Girl was a flat-out fun book to read. I really liked Emily. She was very human and someone I could picture being friends with. Jesse and Cory seemed exactly like I would imagine a rock star wrapped up with his own success would be like.
I won't spoil the end, but it clinched my love for Emily.

I received this book free through Goodreads First Reads. It was my first one ever and was thrilled to receive it. It came with a nice little handwritten note by the author and was in trade size, which I like.

Rock Star's Girl is not the type of book that I normally read but was still pretty good. Interesting story line and quick moving, I'd say this would be a great book for the beach. Occasionally I would have liked the main character, Emily, to be a little more forward with some of the jerkier More...

The heroine in this story falls for not one, but two different rock stars. She gets used by both of them for publicity, and right when I started to feel sorry for her, I couldn't, because she ended up being as lame as they were. Definitely skip this one.

So here's the thing, I really liked this book until about half-way through. Then, I just got irritated. Circle back....I liked the ending, but would have liked more info at the end regarding Emily. Read the book and you'll understand. :)

This book was okay.

The plot a bit predictable, story entertaining considering the social media frenzy we have today.
No sizzling scenes, basic crush type stuff. good for the YA group

Unlike all the other rock star books I have read, this one only engaged in hand holding and kissing. Seemed very unrealistic. It was good but I was disappointed by the ending.
