Lost In NashVegas

I knew I'd probably like this book when I saw the name of the novel. Anyone who knows just a little of the insides of the Christian (or Country) music business knows that the label "Nash Vegas" is a good one. Amidst all the glitter and glamour of celebrities and the music biz digs is the underlying cut-throat business side of the city. Now that I've ventured 10 chapters into the book, I'm loving it.

It's one thing to read a novel about a business or scene that you're aware of. It just makes it better when the landmarks (buildings, street names, etc) are all familiar, too.

I have a recommendation to make: This novel by Rachel Haucks is a good one that is set in music city with a talented young singer songwriter making a move to "go for it" and chase her dream of a music career. It'll be fun to see what kind of characters we run into.
