Retta Lee Jones has always wanted to be a singer. When she graduates high school, she hightails it out of her tiny town of Starling and heads to Nashville, Tennessee, where she has a chance to become a singer and have people sit up and take notice. But Nashville is a town that chews up and spits out girls like Retta, and she has to figure out how to navigate the music business while also dealing with her parents crumbling marriage and the shock of independence that comes with moving away from

Ahhhhh, one of those books, that you wish you could just open it and start all over again. Fresh, authentic, REAL. LOVED this book. The heroine could have been someone I grew up with. Being a West TN. native this book was true to the setting. I loved Suzanne Supplee's depiction of the rural south. I loved her unvarnished approach to the Nashville Music scene. Delightful, breath of fresh air. Great summer read or anytime.



I've had a string of bad luck with books lately. I intensely disliked the last two I read (Jane by April Lindner and Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly) and the three I read before that just didn't do it for me (Hush by Eishes Chayil, Matched by Ally Condie, and Watersmeet by Ellen Jensen Abbott). So it was so very, very nice to read a book and actually like it. More than like, I loved this book.I'm not a fan of country music, but I do live very close to Nashville. So I was at least able to

With real character, real problems, and big dreams I could easily love this book. Retta has a beautiful voice-both singing wise and on the page.

3.5This is one of those novels that is pleasant, undemanding, funny, enjoyable but still required a little something else to make it memorable. Perhaps it suffers from that unnamed condition that most "happy" realistic fiction books suffer from. If it's a real life setting and doesn't have fast-paced drama, a heart-breaking problem story, or some outrageous sex scandal then it isn't easy to hold the reader's attention - Bunheads is one rare example of a novel that does this. With that in mind,

3.5 StarsSmall spoiler ahead!!!! I picked this book up because it was being promoted at my library. It sounded intriguing. However, I did not love this book. I liked it. It was a quick, short read. The downside to this is that half of the book felt like pure exposition. However, it was a cute story about following your dreams. There was barely any romance. I loved the friendship in this book. However, I did not like that her friend brought along her boyfriend and Retta's crush when Retta was
