Scarlett Stiles is desperate for a change of scenery after her older brother, Liam, dies of a drug overdose. But spending the summer with her grandfather wasn't exactly what she had in mind. Luckily, Scarlett finds something to keep her busy--a local rock band looking for a guitarist. Even though playing guitar has been hard since Liam died, Scarlett can't pass on an opportunity like this, and she can't take her eyes off the band's hot lead singer either. Is real happiness just around the corner? Or will she always be haunted by her brother's death?Thoughts
I liked the premise of the book, but I wasn't that big on the characters especially Scarlett, she was nice, but she was kind of a flake to me.
The story just seemed quite predictable, I knew what was going to happen with Scarlett's relationships, but I will admit that I was surprised with a twist that was brought out near the end of the book.
As said above I wasn't the biggest fan of Scarlett, she seemed a really nice person but she seemed to be a bit self-absorbed, it was all about her.
There's a part when she invites a boy she likes to a cookout, and he starts to hit on her sister, even though the sister is not interested. Scarlett starts to blame Sara even though she has told her many times that she isn't interested in him.
I did love Zach, and the other members of the band Mike, and Kyle, they kind of saved this book as these characters were just well written and you'd find it hard not to love these guys and want to join their band.
Even though I wasn't the greatest fan of this book, I did like it but I wouldn't read this book again, I would still have a look at any other books this author has written as the writing flowed well.
