This book is so good that Meg Cabot even reviewed it as "rock you world"! Lee Ann grows up in the early 1980's with a missing father and a dead mother. She spends ages trying to find out the mystery of her father's location, while her older sister, Mary Beth, spends ages trying to find out other people's mysteries. She reads songs, kind of like reading palms. She believes that whatever song's on your mind, has a reason for being there. Mary Beth's "gift" gets her many clients, but a very important male client comes to visit one day. The relationship between him and Mary Beth blossoms, until a startling secret is discovered. The relationship is broken off and Mary Beth is distraught. However, this isn't what causes her to spiral out of control. A failed song reading gets the whole town talking about her. Mary Beth and Leeann must learn to deal with the consequences of this secret and put their lives back together.
Lisa Tucker can absolutely write. This book is so real, that you actually feel that you're Leeann. I loved how Leann grew throughout the story. It doesn't matter what type of books you previously liked; you'll love this one.
