Request #140

 70s YA novel. Main character is a teenage girl named I think Star or Starr.  She’s a Rolling Stones fan, and often sings bits of the song Gimme Shelter. She also reads Rolling Stone Magazine. She spends her free time hanging out with these free-spirited/hippie types who have some mysterious coffee house. One of them wants her to pose for photographs. In contrast there are some mainstream high school students, one of whom is named Beth, who are Peter Frampton fans — that Frampton Comes Alive poster gets mentioned a lot. Beth’s boyfriend falls for Starr but doesn’t get anywhere. Starr tries to show them the hippie hangout but it’s empty and they think she’s weird. This is a very dreamy sort of novel where you’re not always sure what happens to Starr is real. Two Blocks Down by Jina Delton solved by Lost Classics reader Rhondda
