My new novel, Sorta Like a Rock Star, is about a quirky, homeless young woman who spends most of her time trying to buoy the spirits of senior citizens, freak classmates, Korean ESL students, an abandoned dog, and a Vietnam veteran who is extremely fond of haiku. In his own words, here is Matthew Quick's Book Notes music playlist for his novel, Sorta Like a Rock Star: "This special book dares us to embrace audacious hope. Quick's deft portrayal of main character Amber Appleton's life brings both laughter and tears, but more importantly creates an unforgettable character ensconced in the engrossing world that is Sorta Like a Rock Star.ĭon't be put off by the "young adult" tag, this is a book for adults as well (or better yet, one to share with your children). Sorta Like a Rock Star is every bit a literary success as The Silver Linings Playbook. I was a bit perplexed when I heard his next book was a young adult novel featuring a teenage female protagonist. Matthew Quick's debut novel The Silver Linings Playbook met with both critical and popular success, a moving story about a man with mental illness. In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book.
