70s Young Adult Novel ID. Main character is a teenage girl named I think Star or Starr.
She's a Rolling Stones fan, and often sings bits of Gimme Shelter. She also reads Rolling Stone Magazine. She spends her free time hanging out with these hippies who have some mysterious coffee house. 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. Her boyfriend falls for Starr but doesn't get anywhere. This is a very dreamy sort of novel where you're not always sure what happens to Starr is real. Anyone?

I really want to know what this is! If you find out, please let me know! This does remind me of the book Star Girl by Jerry Spinelli, though it's probably not it.

I just always get Rex Smith and young Peter Frampton confused so I thought I would mention it.
