Description
Remy is a cynic when it comes to love. Let down by her absent musician dad and witness to her mother's four failed marriages, she doesn't intend ever to let anyone that close. So when Dexter comes crashing into her life, why is it suddenly so hard for Remy to follow her own rules? He's everything she hates: messy, disorganised, impulsive, and worst of all, a musician like her absent father!
Reviews / Votes
'Remy's voice rings true with realistic dialogue and emotional traumas. Insightful writing, distinctive characters, and a contemporary scene where sex and music rule, compose a melody worth reading.' -- Kirkus Reviews 'This modern-day romance narrated by a cynical heroine offers a balance of wickedly funny moments and universal teen traumas.' -- Publisher's Weekly ' ...a winning story about coming to terms with the fact that loving someone requires a leap of faith, and that a soft landing is never guaranteed.' -- School Library JournalMore details
