Description

A “sweet story of two different loners finding their counterpoint” (School Library Journal) from a star of state master and children’s choice lists making her YA debut. Clean YA with the emotional resonancy of John Green and Sarah Dessen.

On peculiar days, Tripp Broody uses a school practice room to let loose on a borrowed guitar. Eyes closed, strumming that beat-up instrument, Tripp escapes to a world where only the music matters.

On even days, Lyla Marks uses the similar practice room. To Tripp, she’s seeking to turn out to be much more perfect—she’s already a straight-A student and an award-winning cellist. But if Lyla begins leaving notes for him in between the strings of the guitar, his life intersects with hers in a way he never expected. 

What starts as a series of snippy notes quickly blossoms into the sharing of interests and secrets and dreams, and the forging of a very unlikely friendship.

Challenging each and every other to write songs, they start to connect, despite the fact that circumstances threaten to tear them apart.

From beloved creator Mary Amato comes a YA novel of wit and wisdom, both heartfelt and heart­breaking, about the power of music and the unexpected chords that draw us together.
