1st sentence/s: "My dad named me Calle after a cat he had in ollege that ran away. He really loved that cat. I always thought that was funny since he was the one who ran away from me...and my mom."
My comments: This was a quick, interesting read. There is one female protagonist and a number of minor characters - and the characters seem quite well developed. The three major "players" in the book are all troubled kids whose jumbled up thoughts and "troubles" come directly from effed up parents. The ending was a bit too convenient, but I'm not complaining.
Goodreads book summary: What is the soundtrack of your life?
After living in twelve places in eight years, Calle Smith finds herself in Andreas Bay, California, at the start of ninth grade. Another new home, another new school...Calle knows better than to put down roots. Her song journal keeps her moving to her own soundtrack, bouncing through a world best kept at a distance.
Yet before she knows it, friends creep in-as does an unlikely boy with a secret. Calle is torn over what may be her first chance at love. With all that she's hiding and all that she wants, can she find something lasting beyond music? And will she ever discover why she and her mother have been running in the first place?
