                                     Summary: This book is told from the point of view of four
                                     teens who go to a performing arts school. Emme writes songs
                                     for her friend, Sophie, because she's too scared to sing them on
                                     her own. She believes that's the way it always has to be. Sophie
                                     wants fame, and will do anything to get it. She uses Emme, her
                                     BFF, and her boyfriend Carter. Carter is a former child actor.
                                     He just wants to be a normal guy, but his fame is seriously
                                     getting in the way. And then there's Ethan. Ethan is in Emme's
                                     band, and is a musical prodigy, but always thinks he isn't good
                                     enough. And so he sabotages himself. As high school continues
                                     these people are linked together for life.
                                     Rating: I give this book a 4.5. It leaves a lasting impression on
                                     you.
                                     Awards: 
                                                  None.
                                     Opinion: This was a must read book. It tells about a
                                     performing arts school, but it was focusing on the students. The
                                    whole book had a wonderful balance. My only complaint is you
                                    really don't find out where Ethan's self esteem issues come
                                    from. The ending was perfect. It was sweet, but realistic. This
                                    book is great to read any place or any time!
