Okay.
I'm going to be totally blunt and honest.
I received this ARC from a goodreads.com giveaway.
{The ONLY reason I put in for it was that I loved the cover, and the title of the book}.
Now, with that said, I had VERY high hopes.
While some of the story is a bit scattered {something I believe the author did on purpose, as to leave room for interpretation in the second book}, it was a beautifully written, well-versed book---a great read for any adolescent. It's a very coming-of-age novel, with main characters the narrator (who is anonymous, something that again-I believe the author did on purpose as to make this more about the story than about the character who is going through the motions IN the story), her best friend Aurora, and the narrators love interest, Jack, a mysterious musician.
Because of the style of book this is (being from the young adult genre), you expect a sort of style when reading a text from an adolescent perspective, and in my honest opinion, Sarah NAILED it.
I am SUPER excited to read book #2!
Stars: 4.999999/5 {it was nearly perfect IMO}
You'd like this book if you like: Any sort of young adult literature. There is so much to love about this book: first loves, friendship, losing people close to you, drug use, musicianship, etc.
How long did it take to finish this novel: about 1.5 days of serious beach reading.
Where can I buy it? http://www.amazon.com/All-Pretty-Songs-Sarah-McCarry/dp/125002708X
