    Great story for teens who like a bit of grit with their romance.

Calle Smith feels like no place is home. After all, she's moved twelve times in the past eight years. That's not exactly great for feeling a sense of community or making friends, but she's learned to rely on herself and keeps a song journal as a balance wheel. This time things are different, despite the same old story about her dad being a complete loser and her mother having finally found and married Mr. Right (for the umpteenth time). Her mom has always told her that her father abandoned them, but as Calle starts making connections and friends, she also begins to question whether her mother has been honest with her. Making friends is a strange, new experience, but one that grows on her, particularly the kids involved in drama. Sam, enigmatic Sam, intrigues her from the day he sits beside her and she feels a connection. Unfortunately, he won't treat her in public like he did that day and despite her attraction to him, she begins to think that he's only playing her. As time goes on, however, she discovers they have more secrets and sadness in common. Near the end of the book, Calle not only has to deal with the truth about her parents' relationship, but with the reasons, both sad and complex, that make Sam unable to be open about his feelings for her. They are ones she can understand and can help him work through. The ending, while sad and with a real tragedy, is satisfying. This is an excellent story with extremely well-crafted characters. Teens who like a book that has strong emotional appeal, or who have had difficult family experiences growing up will really relate to it.

    Appearances are Deceiving
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2011*

I downloaded this book because it was free.  Its rating made me want to read it.  I would recommend this book, even if you have to pay for it!  It is definitely worth it.  While a story of high schoolers, as a 30-something year old, I still enjoyed it.  I like how the past was explained through memories that were attached to songs.One of the themes of this book was that nothing is ever as it appears on the surface.  The characters all have depth and none are as they first seem.  While not too deep, it was a good read with substance behind it.  I became emotionally evolved, and any book that can do that gets my thumbs up!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A beautiful story with a great soundtrack
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2011*

I didn't notice until I was a few chapters in that the chapters were the names of songs.  When I finished the book, I had to go back to the start to see what I'd missed.  What a clever idea, and I especially enjoyed it given that I grew up when many of the songs she used saw regular airtime on the radio.Calle and her friends were well-developed characters.  We didn't just see a side or two of them but were instead shown some strengths, flaws, and quirky traits.  The awkwardness of high school is portrayed well.  The author also shows us that even those who seem to have it all may be hiding dark and painful secrets.  I would have loved this book as a teen and I enjoyed it very much as an adult.  Definitely worth a read.
