Synopsis:

"Seventeen-year-old Lennie Walker, bookworm and band geek, plays second clarinet and spends her time tucked safely and happily in the shadow of her fiery older sister, Bailey. But when Bailey dies abruptly, Lennie is catapulted to center stage of her own life—and, despite her nonexistent history with boys, suddenly finds herself struggling to balance two. Toby was Bailey's boyfriend; his grief mirrors Lennie's own. Joe is the new boy in town, a transplant from Paris whose nearly magical grin is matched only by his musical talent. For Lennie, they're the sun and the moon; one boy takes her out of her sorrow, the other comforts her in it. But just like their celestial counterparts, they can't collide without the whole wide world exploding."

Review:
This book was amazing. It was way different from what I originally thought it was going to be like. It is a love story, but I think it's a different kind of love story.

The main character is Lennie and her sister dies and her family doesn't really know how to move on. Lennie goes back to school one day and when she goes to band class she meets this new kid and realizes that he is the reason that she will be able to move on. I loved how Lennie and Joe met. They both love music, Lennie plays the clarinet and Joe plays, well a lot of instruments.

There is a lot of heartbreak, but that heartbreak is what makes the characters stronger and what makes the book what it is. Even though Lennie really likes Joe, she also starts liking her sisters boyfriend, Toby. They both know that being together is wrong, but they can't help themselves when they are with each other. I'm not going to tell you who she chooses or what happens to them because that is what makes this book so interesting. Finding out what a person wants and who they really are.

The writing was really good and I didn't want to put this down. There was the perfect amount of detail and the way everything was described was really great.

I really enjoyed this because even though it was your "typical" teen romance book there was something about it that made it really good but I can't pin-point what it is. If you haven't read this yet I highly recommend you do because it is so sweet and cute!
