Female Trouble

This is a fresh re-write of a women's fiction novel that chronicles the friendship of two women through a band named Female Trouble. I'm interested to know what fans of the old version think of this update compared to the old one, as well as the opinions of readers with no prior knowledge of the story/characters. Though it's written in first person, Kat is not me, so please let me know how you feel about her as a character. PLEASE BEGIN AT CHAPTER ONE. Thanks in advance and take care!
