Koda Rose is the daughter of deceased rock star Mack Grady. Living most of her life in California with her mother, Koda is uprooted when her mother accepts a job in New York, forcing Koda to leave her friends behind. In New York, Koda meets Sadie, Mack's ex-girlfriend who the paparazzi call a "recluse". Wanting answers and closure, Koda seeks out Sadie in hopes to find out what the real Mack Grady. In doing so, Koda finds the confidence to step away from her father's shadow and step into her own spotlight.
The overall plot of the story was rather slow. The drive was practically no existent, it was just your run of the mill coming of age novel. Nothing really stood out to me as exceptional and the more and more the story progressed, the less and less I cared. It was cool to me that through her dad's journey she could really reflect on her own, but that was about it. The author used edgy teen drama such as drugs, sex and alcohol but was missing a crucial ingredient - edgy writing.
