About this listen

It’s hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world…

Becky Mooney is a Scottish Dolly Parton tribute singer with such terrible stage-fright she can only perform when dressed up as country music’s biggest, blondest star.

But after splitting with her boyfriend (and Kenny Rogers singing partner) Becky decides to take inspiration from Dolly to go it alone and try to shine like a diamond in a rhinestone world.

As she searches for a way forward, a surprise encounter with a handsome country music star propels Becky to find her own unique voice and along a path to romance, revenge and the rockabilly road to Nashville. But will she find the route to who she really is?

This sparkling rom-com from the author of SHAKE IT UP, BEVERLEY and ROCK 'N' ROSE, is not just a love song to Dolly Parton but a wake-up call for anyone who thinks they’ve missed their chance or could do with that extra bit of extra rhinestone sparkle in our lives.

'A delightful summer romance, and many readers will identify with Becky's quest to discover her own voice and identity.' The Mirror

'Such a fun holiday read.' My Weekly

This was my book club choice. If it hadn’t been I would have not given it as much a chance as I did. Listened for 5 hours, just boring, not engaging. Possibly the worst book I’ve ever had the misfortune to pay for.
