🎵 Macks: The Color of Music by Josefine James

Genre: Romance
Services: Copy & Line Editing by All in the Edit
Blurb: Surely fame and fortune are enough to make you happy… When sweet fifteen-year-old Mackenzie Walker becomes Macks, a world-famous pop singer, she is unprepared for what it means to be a star. Beyond the shining spotlights of the stage, it becomes clear that it's not Macks but her conservative label, and its owner Peter Miller, who pull the strings. When love comes into play, Macks faces a fateful decision: her life and love, or her career? Will Macks be able to meet the expectations of the label and her fans without losing herself in the process? A gripping coming-of-age story about success, courage, self-discovery, and the color of music.
Why we love it: This story beautifully captures the tension between identity and expectation in the life of a young artist. With heart, courage, and a soulful exploration of the music industry, Macks is a poignant reminder of the importance of staying true to yourself.
