Sisters Cassie and Zoe Grossberg were born just a year apart but could not have been more different. Zoe, blessed with charm and beauty, yearned for fame from the moment she could sing into a hairbrush. Cassie was a musical prodigy who never felt at home in her own skin and preferred the safety of the shadows.
On the brink of adulthood in the early 2000s, destiny intervened, catapulting the sisters into the spotlight as the pop sensation the Griffin Sisters, hitting all the touchstones of early aughts fame—SNL, MTV, Rolling Stone magazine—along the way.
But after a whirlwind year in the public eye, the band abruptly broke up.
Two decades later, Zoe’s a housewife; Cassie’s off the grid. The sisters aren’t speaking, and the real reason for the Griffin Sisters’ breakup is still a mystery. Zoe’s teenage daughter, Cherry, who’s determined to be a star in spite of Zoe’s warnings, is on a quest to learn the truth about what happened to the band all those years ago.
As secrets emerge, all three women must face the consequences of their choices: the ones they made and the ones the music industry made for them. Can they forgive each other—and themselves? And will the Griffin Sisters ever make music again?

I was highly entertained by this story and impressed with it. I will say the only thing I would do without is the overuse of the main character talking about how fat she saw herself and was. I mean I understand body image it played a big part. I was shocked by the twists that were given to us as well as the mystery happening and when it all came together I found myself with my mouth opened going no way! Living in Alaska sounds amazing.
The story is told from the present and the past and what went on with the sisters getting to fame.
The author did a great job with the family dynamics, drama, and then the closure that occurred. I felt for Cherry and what she endured and learning how to come out of her shell was amazing to watch. This story gave old-school nostalgia vibes and I was here for it. The character development was amazing and nice to relate to. From the shyness to the directness that was with our characters was amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better story that was given to us it felt magical.
