Review: A bit one-dimensional.
Rating: 3 out of 5

Whisper to Me left me wanting more as a reader, probably because it felt like a movie that was playing on a loop. Everything seemed a tad bit repetitive and there wasn't too much going on.The beginning seemed promising, although I would have liked more details surrounding the motorcycle crash. It was short, very short, and seemed to be just tossed in. This is the event that caused Rachel’s entire world to change; the event that caused everyone to look at her differently. Give us a more in depth look. This book is said to be a stand-alone, so I read it without having read the other books in the series. Maybe it was detailed in one of the other books, but I doubt it since they were centered around other people.The characters seemed a bit one dimensional and flat. Kai really only cared for two things – music and Rachel. He was my favorite character out of the story, as his caring nature was very endearing. It just would have been nice to see more sides to him.The story line itself wasn't bad, it just wasn't fresh. After you read the first 20%, everything just seemed to be on replay. I liken it to going on a scenic tour. You think you’re going to see something new, but really they are taking you through a roundabout over and over again, allowing you to see the same thing that you just passed. Guy and girl secretly like each other, guy and girl hook up, guy and girl get all awkward near each other … it’s like that for a majority of the book until you get near the end. It was predictable.Over all I would give this book 2.5 - 3 stars. I was able to read through it with ease, and it wasn't horrible, but it certainly wasn't memorable. I just would have liked to have seen more of a story-line.*This book was given to me for an honest review. The fact that it was given to me in no way reflects the rating that I provide.*
