Diary of a Rocker's Kid (D.O.R.K) is the first book in a new series by Haley Allison.
For seventeen years Madison Daley's father has been keeping a secret from her. She lives on a Kentucky farm with her Dad and Nana - but one day when her Dad's friend, Cass, comes to visit she lets slip that Madison's father is a famous 90's rock star known as the 'Grim Weeper'. Madison discovers that not only is her father famous but he left the spotlight behind the night that she was left on his doorstep in a basket by a women in a mask. Madison wants to find the identity of her mother and to do that she knows she needs to go to Beverly Hills but can she persuade her Dad to go back to LA with her.
Once living in her Dads mansion in LA there's a few things Madison doesn't bank on - the first is finding out she lives next door to the gorgeous teen actor Gio Abade, who she then starts a summer fling with and the second is finding out exactly who her mother is.
I really liked the writing style of the author - not only did we get the diary entries but also the story as well.
I thought that the book had a 'Parent Trap' feel about it but with a twist. I enjoyed reading it.
I liked Madison's character - everything just seemed to go wrong especially when you desperately wanted them to go right for her. This book would be a good read for Young Adults but maybe older YA's due to the sexual references and colourful language.
I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series to see what happens to Madison now all the secrets are out, how her and Gio's relationship will develop and how she will deal with the other characters whose identities are revealed throughout the story.
Overall a good read with characters that I think we will see develop more as the story continues.
I give Diary of a Rocker's Kid 4 stars.
