About this listen

Never ask a question unless you’re sure you want the truth.

I’ve been listening to my father sing for my whole life. I carry him in my pocket on my MP3 player. It’s just that we’ve never met face to face.

My mother would never tell me how I came to be, or why my rock star father and I have never met. I thought it was her only secret. I was wrong.

When she dies, he finally appears. Suddenly I have a first-class ticket into my father’s exclusive world. A world I don’t want any part of - not at this cost.

Only three things keep me going: my a cappella singing group, a swoony blue-eyed boy named Jake, and the burning questions in my soul. There’s a secret shame that comes from being an unwanted child. It drags me down, and puts distance between me and the boy I love.

My father is the only one alive who knows my history. I need the truth, even if it scares me.

I love all Sarina Bowen’s books and this was the only one I hadn’t read. Wasn’t sure if Y/A would be annoying for a middle aged Mum (like sappy John Green tearjerkers) and have only listened to a few audible books but I really enjoyed it. Great storytelling about relationships (family,friends and romantic) and dialogue sounds natural read aloud. Kate Rudd’s narration was so well done; easy to tell characters apart and none sound weird and irritating (as male characters can when read by female, and vice versa).
No spoilers from me but I do feel sad about friendship that went south.

No accidental Y/A purchase - l love all Bowen’s books!
