Remember back in middle school when you had the biggest crush on the most popular boy or girl in school? And it was unrequited? Not only that but he and his friends spent their time tormenting you for no reason.That's what happened to Serissa. Then one day it was her last day of school because she was moving and she gets a note from HIM, in her locker telling her to think of him. Really?  Because she didn't tell anyone it was her last day so how did he know? And why would he care?It's four years later and Serissa or Sara as she is called, is getting ready for graduation. For the first time she meets a boy  that makes her feel similar as she did about Gabe, the boy she left behind and never forgot.  She now has two best friends and a love of music and singing. Her friends find out their favorite band is coming to their town and they decide to go out and follow the band around for the summer. Sara is totally surprised to discover that Gabe is the lead singer of the band. Coincidence? I didn't think so. Her new boyfriend, Kyle, is totally against her going but she of course does.This is a young adult book but I totally enjoyed it and read it in less then a day. Mainly because I could not put it down and I had to know what was going on. This book is paranormal but it was a really different paranormal. I am not going to tell what the secret is because I think the readers should find out for themselves. I spent most of the book wanting to yell at the author to answer so many questions that I had. I still had lots of questions at the end and now my question for the author is, when does the next one come out? This was told in the first person and I really thought it worked. I really liked her character and the character of Gabe. There is so much more to learn about the characters and the paranormal world involved. I also think her mothers back story is extremely important to the story and should be told.This book was well written and interestingly told. I really enjoyed it more then I thought I would at my age although I do read my share of young adult books. It doesn't matter what age some books are for, as long as it is a well told story like this one. I received this book from the author via PureTextuality for an honest and fair review.
