Lucy: A Rise to Stardom
Imagine how YOU would feel if unbelievable fame found you because you were in the right place at the right time. What happens behind the scenes in the lives of pop stars, seems magical to us. What no one talks about, is the way it affects the people around the artist. Lucy delves into the hidden world of a famous pop star. The big difference between Lucy's life at 16 and 17 is untold riches and unbelievable fame. She's skyrocketed to the top of the charts around the world and is the envy of every teenager. Boys want her and girls want to be her When a chance encounter with a record music executive pushes her into recording a demo, nobody could have imagined that Lucy would become an icon. Nor could Lucy have known that her private life would become a distant memory. Adam is a sweet young man who will do anything for Lucy. Until a visit to her home town exposes her past - a past so dark that she's blocked it out. He's then forced to question how far he's willing to go. Her past threatens to destroy her. It forces her into a deadly situation. Lucy quickly discovers that her fame will not protect her. Fame has a price and she is about to discover just how high that is.

Great book. I've been following this author and so far, I haven't had any disappointment.
Lucy is an interesting close-up view of the rise to fame of a young girl (she's 16/17) who has a horrible start to life which comes back to haunt her later in life.
There's twists I didn't expect which were great, and a romance that was very sweet.
Favorite line "I don't want to be an audience for your ego!" love it.
Well done Fox

I'm a big fan of this author whose style is very good.
Lucy's beginnings are sad in this story, until she's gone to live with a state approved foster parent. It is then that she begins to learn the value of relationships.
There was a lot of subtle growth that could almost be missed.
When Lucy meets Phil, a record executive, she is pushed into doing a demo, which is successful.
There are a few twists that I didn't see coming and a couple of surprises, including the wedding! Such a great story and so well written!

Another fantastic journey that was well written and fun.
And I DO mean fun!
Although Lucy's early life is sad, by the time she gets to NY and records her first songs, meets Adam, it becomes real fun!
I kept picturing Britney Spears or Lady Gaga and wondered how much of either of them was in this book.
There's not enough books like this that are just good fun!
