Wildflower: A Kayla Hicks Book Review
When one door opens for Bird’s music career, she will find out what doors open and which ones will close
What is Wildflower about?
The best songs come from broken hearts.
Bird Barrett has grown up on the road, singing backup in her family’s bluegrass band and playing everywhere from Nashville, Tennessee, to Nowhere, Oklahoma. But one fateful night, when Bird fills in for her dad by singing lead, a scout in the audience offers her a spotlight all her own.
Soon Bird is caught up in a whirlwind of songwriting meetings, recording sessions, and music-video shoots. Her first single hits the top twenty, and suddenly fans and paparazzi are around every corner. She’s even caught the eye of her longtime crush, fellow roving musician Adam Dean. With Bird’s star on the rise, though, the rest of her life falls into chaos as tradition and ambition collide.
Can Bird break out while staying true to her roots?
In a world of glamour and gold records, a young country music star finds her voice.
My review:
Bird Barretts family loses their youngest son at the age of 5 to an accidental drowning and as a result, her family turns to music as a way to heal together.
As Bird gathers experience in showmanship and hone her music skills, she never in a million years would guess that the first time she has to step in as lead singer for her sick father a huge music producer would be waiting to scoop her up.
And before Bird knows it, her life changes forever. But not all the changes are good.
I loved this book so much that I finished it in 3 days.
I enjoyed the cast of characters from her family and their dynamic to the new people that filter into her life with her new music career.
This story does a wonderful job of depicting first love and heartbreak and how it feels like your whole world is crashing at such a young age. It also does a great job showing how much new found fame can affect a person.
I would recommend this book to others. I give this book a 5-star review.
