Rockoholic

This book is kind of hard to review because my feelings for it are kind of inconsistent. I started reading this book about a month ago, and the first chapter was entertaining enough. The second chapter was just okay, and by the third chapter rolled around, I was really bored. So I decided to set it aside for a bit.

Well, I picked it up again early this morning, and it got better. By the end of chapter five, I was smiling and laughing out loud. Jodie's antics were so crazy, and Mac's dramatic outb...more

It was touch and go there for a while. You need to practice self-control and curb your judgments until you've read the entire book. Needless to say, I made a fool of myself on Goodreads again.

Here's the Story, Morning Glory:

Jody's obsession with Jackson Gatlin, frontman of The Regulators reached new heights as she found herself inadvertently kidnapping her dream man, the love of her life, her hero. What would've been a simple error easily corrected by handing over the rock god back to his manager turned into an epic game of hide-a-rock-star-from-the-world. This is just what she's been praying for, right? To spend all her precious time with her idol and serve him hand and foot. But it doesn't take long until Jackson shows his true colors: diva extraordinaire, abusive and a celebrity on the brink of a drug withdrawal. Jody gets the butt of his temper tantrums. She gets puked on, gets food thrown at her face, and worse, peed on. When she had had enough, Jody threw him out but to her chagrin, Jackson refused to leave the sanctuary of her garage. She soon realized that the Jackson she's known all her life doesn't come close to the real Jackson in her garage. Stuck with a temperamental jerk whose personal vocabulary did not include the words, thank you and sorry, Jody will learn a few home truths about herself, about Mac and which Jackson was worthy of her devotion.

Like I said, you need to be patient with this book. Jody was a hard person to like in the beginning. She was an insipid, sniveling girl who took all of Jackson's abuse. She was blinded to everything about Jackson that she didn't appreciate the extent of her best friend's devotion to make her happy until it was almost too late. Truthfully, I would've given up by say, third chapter. But I didn't. I don't know. I think it's the Pearl Jam's Black quote at the beginning of the book that held me back. That alone gave the book so much promise and it's what saw me through.

If you persevere to read this book until the end, you will appreciate the growth Jody went through. You will see that moment when she realized that Jackson is just a man, not a god, not an idol. He's a scared boy - a terrified, tired, burnt-out rock star who wanted none of the life his celeb status afforded him. He wanted to get clean - free of an addiction that his manager got him hooked on. When at first you will be annoyed with him, you will find yourself sympathizing for the mess of a man he turned out to be and rooting for the person he wanted to be.

This book boasts some pretty lovable secondary characters: there's grandpa, whose own funeral involved a rock anthem and a food fight of epic proportion. He's been Jody's rock god even before Jackson came into the picture. His death tore her apart but his life lessons are the edict that Jody follows like the law. There's Cree - adorable, lovable, sweet Cree. She's a two point five year-old girl toddler who provides all the honey with her innocence and unconditional love - for her brother, for Jody and for Jackson. Jackson found a certain closeness to this little girl because according to him, Cree didn't know any better. And then there's Mac - black nail polish, skinny jeans, guy-liner. Jody has always perceived her best friend gay but Jackson opened her eyes and showed her a Mackenzie she was all too blind to see. All of a sudden, she realized that if all else fails in her life, Mac will be the one constant she can't live without. Le sigh.

The author used humor and sweetness to tell a story that's otherwise deceptively heavy. It dealt with grief, a teen's feeling of alienation, drug abuse, love, family and friendships where you least expect it.

Just know that this book emotionally depleted me. I mean, I only have so much emotion that I can let out and all of it for the next month was unleashed today, when I finished this book. I PROMISED MYSELF I WOULDN'T CRY ON MY BIRTHDAY. But I did. In a good-ish kind of way.

I went into Rockoholic by C.J. Skuse thinking that it would be a light, fluffy read. I was kind of right.

You know that one celebrity that you would give anything just to meet? To talk to him for one minute, receive one smile? Well, for Jody, that one guy would be Jackson Gatlin, lead singer of The Regulators, the new popular American rock band. When Jody scores a ticket to his concert, she’s right in the front row, and after a series of events, he ends up… in her garage? Recovering from withdrawal and the brightness of fame, Jackson is not who Jody thought he was, much to her dismay. It becomes apparent that Jackson doesn’t want to go back to his celebrity, but how can someone as famous as Jackson hide for so long? As Jody and her best friend, Mac, try to cope with this raging rock star, the media is searching for the elusive celeb. Will Jody get Jackson to safety before the media finds him, or will he be thrust back into the spotlight?

There is only one that that I didn’t absolutely love about this book, and that was Jody. She was incredibly stupid; she made horrible decisions at every turn, but I have to admit that she did have guts. I mean, I wouldn’t be brave enough to actually try to steal a rock star from his own concert. But at the same time, I liked Jody, despite her stupidity. She was quite endearing. Mac was my favorite character because he was such a good friend, plus he was into theater (as am I). He was reliable and really funny and his little sister, Cree, was adorable. Jackson, at first, was horrible, but by the end, I came to love him. He was kind of sweet by the end.

This book was incredibly funny. I actually had to stifle laughs while I was reading it into the wee hours of the morning. I could barely put it down and it captivated me right away. I understood how Jody felt about Jackson (maybe not to that extreme level, but a much more mild one) and that helped me connect to her thought process on why it was okay to abduct a superstar. It was kind of a fluffy read, but I didn’t expect to cry at the end. But I did cry. And on my birthday, of all days! Gah. But anyway, it wasn’t quite as fluffy as I first thought it would be. It also made me a lot more interested about books that are not about supernatural things; It made me branch out more, and for that, C.J. Skuse, I thank you! I also thank you for entertaining me endlessly with this book of yours!

I’m going to start this review by saying that Rockoholic by C. J. Skuse is one of the funniest, most entertaining and highly original books I’ve read in a long time.

To be quite honest, when I first read the synopsis I thought the book sounded good but I honestly didn’t know whether I’d like it.

I mean, I’m a bit past my boy band loving days although I do remember what it was like to have a crush on Ronan Keating *cringing as we speak* and I won’t tell you about the time I had front row tickets to a Boyzone concert and went deaf for three days. Oh wait, I just did. Anyway, I took Rockoholic with me to my super intensive residential training course and I’m so glad I did as it provided me with some much needed light relief, just when I needed it! Rockoholic was laugh out loud funny and I totally “got” Jodie. She is a walking disaster and always manages to get caught up in the most ridiculous and outlandish situations. But she’s also funny, witty and fiercely loyal to her friends.

Standing by her side is her best friend Mac who has a streak through his hair and is heavily involved with the Dramatic Arts. He knows Jodie like the back of his hand and together, they’re an unstoppable force. I LOVED the interaction between Mac and Jodie which provided a lot of the humour but also some of the most touching parts of the book too.

Initially, I thought that rock star God Jackson was a bit of a prat but as the plot unravels, you realise that he is merely a victim of circumstance and In a world where it seems everyone wants to be famous, I think this book is a nice reminder that fame definitely isn’t all it’s cracked up to be!

Now, I’m not a huge fan of British writers, especially in the YA genre but I think after this I’m going to have to change my stance. I thought Rockoholic was a brilliant read, both hysterically funny and incredibly moving at times which is a sign of a skilled writer and I will definitely be reading more of C.J’s books in the future.

I can’t recommend Rockoholic highly enough and now that I’ve given the ARC away to a stranger on the train (book love should definitely be shared) I’m definitely going to invest in my own copy. I strongly suggest you do too. Go get it!(less)

First off, my lovelies, I must give props to Ms. Skuse for nailing the obsessiveness and slightly scary factors of being a female fan of a rising idol. Especially a hot male idol. Jody, our main character, as much as I may try (but I won't) to deny it, is a lot like quite a few people I know.

Quite a few One Direction obsessed friends I know, to be exact. And if I said that Jody's lack of sense and brain cells annoyed the hell out of me, and I couldn't stand her as a character - I'd also be sayi...more

When I first came across Rockoholic I thought nah, it’s not for me. A book about a girl obsessed with a rock star? Not my cup of tea. I’m not really into music in a big way and can honestly say I’ve never obsessed over anyone in a band. But I kept coming across it on the book review blogs and the more I read, the more intrigued I was, so when I got the opportunity to review it I jumped at it.

But no, it's the actual name the author gave Jody's home town.) So, she hides him in her grandfather's garage

This book is funny, but it's also true. The whole point of the book (in my opinion) was to capture the hysteria you see quite often with teenagers (though it's not limited only to them) where they end up worshipping a certain idol (either from the music or film industry). They become blind-sided and try to imitate their idols, to the point of doing completely stupid things. This book does a great job of showing us exactly what happens when people are famous (which kind-of explains why so many musicians and actors are frequently admitted to rehab clinics to deal with all the palavah (is that the right spelling??) that comes with fame) and how it's completely different to what the fans think it is.

I thought that all the characters were rather well developed. You knew enough about them to understand why they acted in the way they did. I especially liked Mac (though his name is really bad - Mackenzie Lawless??). Jody was ok from the beginning of the book and Jackson grew on me after a while. Cree was an absolute pleasure and if you read the book, you'll know why! I could just imagine a little child like her in front of me! I have to say though, I had guessed a part of the story when I was only a few pages in, but it didn't spoil the book for me! I wanted to see how things went, so I had to finish it!

A fun read that tries to make rather meaningful point at the end of the story.

During the first like...7-8 chapters (before and during the kidnapping and the aftermath of it) I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe.
The whole book is funny, though. My sister kept glancing over at me worriedly because every now and then I would crack up so much.

Jody is half-mad. I mean, I get her, she is grieving, she is lonely, she doesn't fit in, (view spoiler). It's all very sad, but she has this childlike quality about her and absolutely doesn't filter in her head anything she does or says! I really, really loved her. Her logic was logical to me too.

And Mac - oh.my.god.
I cannot put it in words how much I loved him. To everything that Jody does or says, he is the voice of reason. The perfect Yin to her Yang, someone that keeps her grounded (as much as he can). Every single thing he says, I clung onto his words, he is just such a wonderful character (I'm fighting myself here not to quote in this review everything he says). He has a bit of a dramatic flair which is very likable, but he is also calm and collected when he needs to be and overall such a sweet guy. I loved him with Cree.
Actually, I wouldn't have minded a whole book just about him, that's how much I liked him.

You know, what makes this so great is that we've all been there! I cannot name a single person who wasn't in some sort of love with a celebrity - but Jody just takes it to a whole new level (even if it's unintentional). She is, quite literally, obsessed with Jackson and this combined with a simple chocolate bar misunderstanding gets her into so much trouble! Mac is always there to help her along, being whatever she needs him to be.

I felt so sorry for Jackson, even though he also made me laugh with his antics. He is a great character, in that brotherly kind of way (once he's off the drugs he is quite likable). Sometimes celebrity stardust is just cheap glitter and you can definitely see that when you look at his life, he is a pretty deep character.

So if you're looking for something that has a little weight, has an array of amazing characters, and will also make you laugh, this is definitely the book I would recommend.(less)

I have to admit, when I read the synopsis for Rockoholic by CJ Skuse, I wasn’t struck by the uniqueness of the premise, but more I was drawn to the sheer unlikelihood and craziness it mapped out. I love those adventurous stories where so many funny, bizarre situations crop up in the main character’s life. While meeting a celebrity isn’t a new concept in fiction, wacky situations and the general hilarity that ensues makes for a very fun, energetic, and oftentimes introspective read.

I love those adventurous stories where so many funny, bizarre situations crop up in the main character’s life. While meeting a celebrity isn’t a new concept in fiction, wacky situations and the general hilarity that ensues makes for a very fun, energetic, and oftentimes introspective read. On that note, these kinds of books can make you wonder what exactly you’re missing out on in life. Although I did get that sense once I was done reading, outlandishness included, there’s all this predictability in the story line and, most aggravatingly, I couldn’t dig the main character, Jody.

Rockoholic by CJ Skuse kicks off with letting us know Jody’s got a problem—an addiction to a popstar that borders pitiful. While her obsession is just that and can get a little… out there, it’s quite believable. It’s Jody’s constant whining and selfish attitude that got my goat. Or maybe that’s not quite right. It is the lack of personality beneath those aspects that bothered me. Wait, that’s not quite right either. It’s really the lack of a personality I liked. I could deal with Jody’s Kicked Into the Dirt self-esteem, melodrama, and absurd infatuation with Jackson Gaitlin. And I liked that, by the end, she developed from these traits and issues. But, underneath Jody isn’t the kind of person I’d want to befriend, much less talk to. Girlfriend’s got enough issues, flaws, and vulnerabilities to make me reach for a glass of chocolate milk. Never once, though, did I think, Hey, What a Lovely Person. She’s complex, certainly, and definitely gets a medal for Doing Stupid Shizz, Especially When Left Alone. She’s kind, a bit naïve, and she’s grieving, I get it. But, the aforementioned drama set the tone for our relationship, which didn’t improve very much.

What I did enjoy about Rockoholic by CJ Skuse had nothing to do with Jody and everything to do with Mac, our protagonist’s fearless, talented bff who puts up with her batshizz, Jackson, the depressed, messed-up rockstar taking refuge in Jody’s garage, and all the silly obstacles that crop up to make this whole hot mess a smoking catastrophe. I wouldn’t say that it’s easy to laugh at every scene, but there are random moments that make the atmosphere lighter and inspire some chuckling. And, of course, the romance makes an awesome highlight of the book. It’s predictable in its direction, but the way it’s written isn’t, and that’s what made it loveable for me.

While a bit of a disappointment, I still enjoyed the second half of the novel which saved it from being a fail of a whale. And if Rockoholic by CJ Skuse has taught me anything, it’s this: don’t ever, ever offer a Curly Wurly—which is not sex slang for something—to a doped-up celebrity with a hallucination problem. Shenanigans will ensue. Or maybe that’s what you’re after. I still wouldn’t suggest it though.

I have to admit I do hardly laugh at books, even when they are funny and I find it funny I don’t actually LOL I just have a little giggle inside! Well Rockaholic did make me LOL, not as much as I hoped as half way through things turned a bit more serious but at the beginning I was giggling quite a lot.

Rockaholic has quite a few different sides to it. For example at the beginning Rockaholic is a very light hearted read with a lot of funny moments in but as the book gets further in things begin to get a bit more serious in a few ways. I really enjoyed both sides of this book and felt they fitted well together, although I will say I do wish C.J. had included a bit more of her great humour further into the book when the book seemed to slow down. At some points it felt not much was really happening and I did feel certain chapters weren’t really ‘required.’

The plot is great, yes sometimes it’s very far retched and I wouldn’t recommend picking up this book if you can’t ‘let yourself go’ and see past that but it’s very imaginative. To me it felt like C.J. had this small little idea and things quickly grew from there. I loved this and felt it really added to the humour of this book. Amongst this the serious side of the story brought everything back ‘down to earth’ and while I felt the things which this book deals with are important I wished at times there was more funny parts further in.

The characters, especially Jody, are all great! They all added to the book in a special way and contributed to how things turned out. I liked how some of the things in the plot seemed to change the characters themselves, especially the rockstar, Jackson. Jody reminded me of myself sometimes and not just because we have the same name! I loved her ‘blondness’ it was just perfect for this book and her voice throughout the book made her a very strong and real character to me.

Overall Rockaholic is a great book which is both a light heart read which will have you laughing out loud to also dealing with more serious things and showing the consequence of certain things such as fame. I definitely recommend reading this, even if you weren't sure about Pretty Bad Things as Rockaholic is very different!(less)

Rockoholic is one of the funniest books I’ve read in a very long time. This book had the ability to make me laugh out loud at three in the morning – I had to stuff a pillow over my face to stop myself from waking anyone up! And when you’re sitting in your bedroom with a book in one hand, clasping a pillow to your face with the other and laughing yourself silly, this can only mean that you’ve just read a very, very good book.

Jody, our main character, was what I can only described as completely and utterly obsessed with rock star called Jackson, the lead singer of the band “The Regulators”. And by obsessed, I mean obsessed – she was fanatical. She kissed his posters goodnight, she was vegetarian because she read that Jackson was a vegetarian, she collected zebra toys because she saw that Jackson liked zebras on a Wikipedia article, she read Stephen King novels because Jackson once said he liked them and she believed that one day they’d meet, fall in love and get married– it was crazy! I have to admit, at the beginning, I thought she was quite immature for her age because she had such unrealistic fantasies. But there’s no denying that her whole obsession was just hilarious – I have no idea how Jody’s best friend Mac put up with it all! Especially when it led to Jody accidentally kidnapping Jackson himself. Yes, you read that right. Jody was now stuck with a rockstar in her garage, who not only refused to go back to his band, but refused to leave Jody at all! How did she get herself into such a pickle? All I’m saying is that I can never look at a Curly Wurly (one of the most delicious chocolate bars England has to offer) in the same way ever again.

One thing about Rockoholic that I really loved was that it was very English. There were a lot of references to English culture, for example supermarkets and TV shows (oh, Jeremy Kyle), and there was quite a lot of Brit-slang as well, that Jackson, who was an American rockstar, certainly found hard to understand. I never thought the American-English language barrier could ever be so funny, but it was! The looks of confusion on Jackson’s face when he didn’t understand something Jody or Mac had said almost brought tears to my eyes, it was that funny! Oh, you’ll see what I mean if you read this book (which you totally should). I’m laughing just thinking about it...

Another thing I really liked was the way the characters developed. I liked Jody from the beginning, despite her obsession, because she was quite sarcastic and funny, but also a very kind person. She was still mourning the loss of her granddad, who she loved a lot, and so was understandably very confused sometimes, and didn’t know what to do, or which path in life was right for her. I felt a little sorry for her because Jody always felt like she could never compare to her sister Halley, who was the “golden child” of the family. Jackson was much the same; as a jaded rockstar who’d fallen from the pedestal everyone put him on, he too was confused about what he should do with his life. But both Jody and Jackson changed a lot in this book, and they overcame a lot of problems together (it’s amazing how this novel could be so hilarious and yet quite moving at the same time). By the end of the story, Jody was no longer the immature fangirl she used to be, and I grew to love her even more. Jackson was also no longer an unhappy, spoilt brat, and I think being with Jody and Mac helped him so much – he even started playing with Cree, Mac’s little sister, which was a huge change for him. He was actually a lot wiser than I first expected him to be, and was able to help Jody with a few of her problem as well as finally sorting out his own. Even Mac worked up to courage to change a few things in his life, and I have to say, Mac was one of my favourite characters. He was quirky, funny, and very loveable, and was always willing to help Jody, even when it was with something as crazy as looking after a kidnapped celebrity – he truly was the best friend a girl could have.

The ending of Rockoholic was just perfect in my opinion, and though everything was wrapped up, I was really sad to see these characters go. I had grown really attached to Jody, Jackson and Mac – they were all people I could relate to in some way, and I think I’m really gonna miss them.

Overall, I loved Rockholic – it was a fun, light, wonderful book with a heart-warming underlying message, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good summer read, or for anyone who just feels like laughing their head off.(less)

This book is a great example of how book blogging has changed me. Never in a million years had I not started blogging would I ever have read something like Rockoholic.

Never in a million years had I not started blogging would I ever have read something like Rockoholic. I wasn't interested if it wasn't paranormal. But, since I've started blogging, I'm a lot more open to other genres, especially realistic and contemporary fiction, so I decided to give this one a go, see if I liked it.
I'd heard this book was funny. In reality? I found it hilarious! The plot is just so imaginative and silly, yet it felt perfectly believable even though I doubt a rock star could ever just walk out of a concert venue against his will... ;) Then things got even more strange once Jody got Jackson back to her house - the plot just got weirder and weirder and funnier and funnier. I loved it!
I really enjoyed reading about Jody, and I feel that CJ Skuse managed very well to create a real and authentic teenage voice. Some of the slang she uses to create Jody's voice is really effective, and I really like Jody, even though she annoyed me when she made stupid decisions. But, everyone makes stupid decisions, and in the end they got resolved, so it wasn't so bad.
I hated Jackson. He was arrogant and annoying, and he had completely let fame get to his head. I felt so sorry for Jody to have thought the world of him before she met him, and idolised him, only to have her dreams cruelly broken when she finally met him properly, and he turned out to be a huge jerk with some serious attitude problems. Everything he did annoyed me, and I really didn't like him. Even at the end when he gets a little bit better, I still didn't like him. The only times I like him a little bit was when he was with Cree, who is SO adorable :)
My favourite character though, has to be Mac. He was awesome, and he was so sweet to Jody, putting up with her obsession with Jackson, even though it's so obvious that he's in love with her... Oh my word, I loved him so much! That's all I shall say :)
Overall, Rockoholic was so much better than I expected it to be. I thought it was going to be a so-so book, but it was so much better! I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a light-hearted, funny read, as I'm sure you'll enjoy Rockoholic. After all, who doesn't like to get lost in a good, funny, completely unbelievable yet seemingly real story? :)

Jody is obsessed. Her favourite band is The Regulators, and her favourite person in the world is lead singer Jackson Gatlin. She wants to be a part of his life, like he is her life. As with most 17 year old girls things in life don’t make sense, like for instance why her grandad had to die and why her parents are getting a divorce, so Jackson and the band help her through the hard times. Trouble is The Regulators aren’t actually there to pick up the pieces when things go drastically wrong, that’s Jody’s “gay best friend’s” job.

So when Jody goes to a Regulators gig and leaves with more than just merch, Mac is there to drive her home, look after an off-his-tits rock star and help Jody “hide the body” as if were. Jody finds herself with a superstar living in her garage, a best friend with a chip on his shoulder and a local journalist hot on her heels.

Ok first thing I gotta say is how bloody funny this book is. I found myself giggling through so much of it! It’s quite likely that this is because CJ Skuse managed to get the essence of a fan-girl through so well! Jody was totally an amazingly accurate 17 year old music nut and I loved her for it.

Jody’s grandad had just died and we join the story at his funeral. I love that so much of Jody’s grandad was in the story even though he had died you really get a feel for what he was like as a character and hes so lovely and fun. I want to be just like him when I’m old, and I so want to go out with a bang.

There is so much “awesome” in this book. The characters, the storyline, the pace, everything is brilliant! The characters are so relatable, even the smaller ones like Jody’s sister and her mum. But I think my favourites will have to be Jody’s grandad and Mac’s sister Cree. Cree is so bloody adorable. I wanted to pick her right out of the book and smuggle her home with me! The way she thinks Mckenzie’s name is Kenzie and she gets mad when anyone calls him by his full name cos hes “my Kenzie!” I love her, I want her! (but I guess I’ll just have to settle with hoping like crazy my future baby girl is like her!!)

The storyline is amazing too. I am a music nut. I love music and bands and can really relate to Jody when she refuses to believe anything bad about Jackson or the Regulators. I remember hearing that Benji from Good Charlotte was dating Paris Hilton (eeewwww) and thinking “well, he must see something everyone else doesn’t!” However I’m so not near the crazy being-squashed-against-barrier-nearly-dying stage anymore (I have been there before!) and I have never even thought about kidnapping a rock star… ok maybe when I met Billy Martin but I resisted my urge!

I actually didn’t expect rockoholic to be as long as it was, as in page numbers and thickness, but at no point did I think the pace was slowing or that the story was going nowhere. It kept me wondering how the hell Jody was going to get out of certain situations and what was gunna happen next all the way through, whilst obviously making me nearly piss with laughter!

I really want everyone to read this book. I knew I’d love it cos of the music references and how hilarious it sounded but man I think I could read it again and again and I would never get bored! It’s definitely a keeper!

I started reading this book when I was having a pretty miserable day and needed cheering up and boy did it do the job!

Rockoholic starts off with main character Jody at her beloved granddad’s funeral her granddad was Jody’s idol. Not the typical grandfather figure he loved rock and roll, would moon bathe and wanted his funeral to be called a “body barbeque” and we automatically get to see just how barmy Jody is when in the middle of her mums carefully laid out funeral arrangements Jody starts a food fight because she knows it’s the kind of thing her granddad would have loved. I started this late one night and I had to literally clamp my hand over my mouth to stop my hysterical laughter at Jody’s expense from waking everybody up. Jody is a carefree, fun loving, free spirit and her crazy ideas and mishaps make for a side splittingly funny book. Jody’s funny without even realising she is, without even trying to be and I automatically liked her and wanted to know what crazy plan she’d come up with next.

The strongest aspect of this book I think is definitely the characters. I can’t think of one character I didn’t like and who wasn’t well developed. I loved Jody and her best friend Mac, rock god and lost soul Jackson and Mac’s adorable baby sister Cree who has some of the funniest heart-warming lines in fiction. Even Jody’s granddad who we as readers never actually get to “meet” was a total legend and I could happily live inside this book forever being bffs with all of them.

Although Rockoholic is by the majority a fun read it also deals with serious themes such as bereavement, drug addiction and let’s face it kidnapping! But C.J. Skuse never makes the book feel heavy or depressing handling the matters respectfully with a side of funny. But ultimately this is a book about living your dreams but not forgetting the people who hold you rock steady when you come crashing back down to earth. It’s a book about reaching for the stars but never forgetting your reality and where you came from, it’s about knowing it might be impossible but going for it anyway.

Even if you’re not a huge music fan I still think everyone can relate to and enjoy this book. Whether you’re a fan girl of a certain author or if you’ve ever had a crush on a celebrity or someone out of bounds I think everybody can relate to that feeling of being so passionate about something but feeling like you’re just one in a million never having a chance to shine. Well Rockoholic is a story about a girl who MAKES her dreams come true something I think a lot of people can take inspiration from.

I could go on about Rockoholic and how much I loved it all day. It’s the perfect mood boosting, funny, feel good read and is definitely one of my favourite books of 2011. I can’t wait to check out C.J’s debut novel Pretty Bad Things and will be recommending/forcing everybody to check out Rockoholic.(less)

Jody is a massive fan of a band called The Regulators, in particular their lead singer, Jackson Gatlin. And by massive fan, we're talking OBSSESSED. She's vegetarian because in an interview Jackson says he is, she reads the same books Jackson reads, she buys zebra things because on Wikiepedia it says Jackson likes zebras; she truly believes he's the guy for her ... if only he knew she existed.

And by massive fan, we're talking OBSSESSED. She's vegetarian because in an interview Jackson says he is, she reads the same books Jackson reads, she buys zebra things because on Wikiepedia it says Jackson likes zebras; she truly believes he's the guy for her ... if only he knew she existed. Maybe he'll notice her when she goes to a Regs concert.

Really Jody's only hoping for a smile from the stage or something to that nature but somehow she finds herself bundling the rock star into her friend Mac's car at the end of the night and ends up hiding him in her garage. The problem is the missing singer is all over the international news and to make things worse Jackson doesn't want to leave.

While based on a completely unlikely scenario, Rockoholic is very realistic. Not only does it deal with the "OMG I've accidently kidnapped a rock god" issue, Jody is also coming to terms with the death of her grandad, her feelings for Mac and realising that Jackson's not the person she thought he was. It also deals with the less glamorous side of fame that Jackson doesn't want to return to.

The writing in this book is fast paced and funny, with many laugh out loud moments. The characters are all well developed and loveable. Jody's easy to identify with. She doesn't really know what she's doing most of the time and many of the things she does as a Regs fan will be things that a lot of readers will have also done. Mac's the caring best friend; the sensible one who gets Jody out of a whole load of trouble all of the time. Jackson's the bad boy, dealing with depresssion and a drug addiction. He doesn't know how to really relate to people and even when he starts to become the 'real' Jackson rather than the public Jackson, he can still be a bit selfish and arrogant. One of the most adorable characters in the book is Cree, Mac's baby sister, who's innocent enough to put everyone in their place without knowing she's doing it.

I really enjoyed reading Rockoholic and will definitely be looking out for other books by this author.(less)

My first confession? My review may be a bit biased, because I know EXACTLY how Jody feels about The Regulators. My favorite band is All Time Low, and I've been a hardcore dedicated fan for years now. So I know what it's like to put all your faith and soul into one band. However, the difference is that All Time Low is a lot more laid back and they don't do all the deviant stuff that The Regulators were known for, so I can't really connect to that.

But the obsession with the band? I GET that. Okay, moving on... My second confession? I loved this book! It was sweet and heartbreaking but also pretty funny, at times!
I just really loved how this book was a good mix of everything. It was definitely funny, with the crazy hi-jinks Jody pulled and the idiotic situations she got herself---and her best friend, Mac---into. And it was entertaining and sort of deep, seeing the nonsense Jody went through in trying to help Jackson recover from his demons and become a better person. And it was sweet and almost a little sad, with Jody and her relationship with Mac and her bad relationship with her mother and missing her grandfather a lot. I just really loved the emotions in the books. It wasn't too much of one thing or too much of another. And it didn't get too deep, dark, or preach-y, which is something that bothers me about books.
The book had some of the plot of that ABC Family movie Taking Five where the girls kidnapped their favorite band and held them captive in their basement, and it sang along the same tune as one one of my favorite books, Audrey, Wait! by Robin Benway (review here), which is about another teenage girl caught up in the crazy world of bands and band members---but it also had its own, quirky feeling (helped along by the fact that it takes place in England).
I just loved all the characters. Jody's grandfather sounded like a total boss and I wish the readers could have gotten a chance to meet him. Jody herself was very relate-able---just a girl who wanted to fit in, stand out, be loved, and not feel so alone...and who doesn't relate to those feelings? Jackson himself was a total jerk and a loser for the first half of the story but I began to feel sorry for him and eventually wish the best for him. And Mac! God, I LOVED Mac! What an awesome and hilarious best friend! Everyone needs a sarcastic-yet-loyal friend like Mac. And I loved that he had a 2-year-old sister, Cree. Having a 2-year-old sister myself, I could relate.
The ending was bittersweet and very raw...but satisfying, in a sad sort of way. And Jody and Mac's ending? PERFECT. And that's all I can say!

defrrrrrrr-0xs/pd
It's a rock-star abduction worthy of an MTV reality series...but who got punk'd?! (GoodReads)

Doesn’t the above summary make you think this will be a silly light hearted read? I sure thought so. I was expecting some hilariously ridiculous misunderstanding between two people that looks like a kidnapping but really isn’t one. Boy was I wrong. Sure, our rock star, Jackson, is so wasted and high that he mistakes the Curly Wurly Jodie is trying to offer him for a knife. But our heroine, Jodie, realizes his mistake right away and instead of correcting him, she recognizes an “opportunity” and ACTUALLY kidnaps him. Which I guess could be silly had she been a fun and silly character (Stephanie Plum comes to mind) but she isn’t. She is a teen in a bad place and she does this bad thing that left me completely flummoxed.

We learn a few things early on in this story. One, Jodie’s granddad was one of the funniest free spirits ever. Two, Jodie is very insecure and has a penchant for making really bad decisions. She is also unhealthily obsessed with her favorite band The Regulators and their lead singer, Jackson Gatlin. And three, if it wasn’t for her best friend Mac (Mackenzie), Jodie would be even more of a mess (if that’s even possible).

When Jodie decides to liven up Granddad’s wake, her mom rips up her ticket to the Regulators concert. Jodie runs away and moves into the spare room behind the pub owned by Mac’s parents. Being the amazing friend he is, Mac gives Jodie his ticket and drives her to the concert. A concert that should have been an epic one time chance to see her hero in the flesh becomes a series of disasters that ultimately land her in a makeshift triage room. When a very high Jackson makes an unexpected appearance and speaks to Jodie personally, a misunderstanding between them gives Jodie the idea to kidnap the love of her life and take her home with her. What starts out as a thoughtless crime ends up being a lesson in life, reality and love for Jodie and her hero, Jackson.

This book just wasn’t what I was expecting. I was in the mood for light hearted and silly. And I was disappointed. So disappointed that I sent a message to my fellow Bibliojunkies bitching about it. I even considered putting it aside to read something else. But I decide to move forward and keep reading.

And in the end…as much as I tried to resist liking this book and as disappointed as I was in the beginning (simply because it wasn’t what I was expecting)…I caved. At every turn of the page I became more and more sucked in. It was as if C.J. Skuse was saying, “You WILL read this and you WILL like it!”

I surrender, Ms. Skuse, I surrender. I read it. And not only did I like it, I LOVED it. And when I say I loved it, I mean that Rockoholic has a guaranteed spot on my Top 10 of 2012. So there you go. Thank you giving me a brilliant dramatic novel (with admittedly hilarious moments) that I had no choice but to embrace. That was very sneaky of you, dear author. I applaud your sheer awesomeness.
