The plot sounded interesting and I have heard only great things Matthew Quick's writing, I also have Silver lining's Playbook but haven't read it yet. General Thoughts: I got this book randomly because this sounded really good.
But when a fatal tragedy threatens Amber's optimism-and her way of life, can Amber continue to be the rock star of hope? With an oddball cast of characters, and a heartwarming, inspiring story, this novel unveils a beautifully beaten-up world of laughs, loyalty, and hard-earned hope. Still, Amber, the self-proclaimed princess of hope and girl of unyielding optimism, refuses to sweat the bad stuff. Ever since her mom's boyfriend kicked them out, Amber, her mom, and her totally loyal dog, Bobby Big Boy (aka Thrice B) have been camped out in the back of Hello Yellow (the school bus her mom drives). Plot Summary: Amber Appleton lives in a bus. Very uplifting and inspiring ending.How Long It Took Me To Read: 3 hours or so with frequent breaks for laughing and crying. And in the end, you discover that the kindness you give to others will come back to you when you need it the most. But just when you start to think that this book is going to turn out to be another depressing YA, the community members start to rally around her.
It affects Amber to the core and she finds herself suffering from the worst kind of depression you can have. Yep, she is homeless and goes hungry almost nightly but that doesn't stop her from spreading smiles wherever she goes.
It tells a story of a young girl named Amber who spreads hope throughout her neighborhood and her school even though she lives on a school bus with her mom. The book is titled Sorta Like A Rockstar and is by Matthew Quick. It is light-hearted and full of hope, which by the way is the main theme. Well, I just finished a book yesterday that is not depressing in the slightest. Yesterday, someone posted an email about a collegue at their school who is just discovering the joy of reading YA but was wondering if there was any that wasn't so depressing.
