Guitar Notes

If I can possibly find time to read this weekend, this will be the fifth book I've finished this week.  Whew!  I'm not familiar with this author, but the blurb intrigued me.  Plus, several of my peers are making sure this is part of their collection.  I enjoyed visiting the author's website for Guitar Notes and listening to some of the original songs featured within the story.  What a great idea!  A soundtrack for a book!  No movie required!  ;)

Here's a blurb and link to the website in case you're also interested in reading some good quality young adult realistic fiction.

Blurb taken from book jacket:
"On odd days, Tripp Broody uses a school practice room to let loose on a borrowed guitar.  Eyes closed, strumming that beat-up instrument, Tripp escapes to a world where only the music matters.  On even days, Lyla Marks uses the same practice room.  To Tripp, she's trying to become even more perfect--she's already a straight-A student and an award-winning cellist.  But when Lyla begins leaving notes for him in between the strings of the guitar, his life intersects with hers in a way he never expected.  What starts as a series of snippy notes quickly blossoms into the sharing of interests and secrets and dreams, and the forging of a very unlikely friendship.  Challenging each other to write songs, they begin to connect, even though circumstances threaten to tear them apart."

Sounds great, right?
Happy Reading!
