You've seen this book around and I'm sure you've read plenty of reviews. I'll say the same thing, and a bit more, as everyone else. By the look of this cover, you know this is a love story between two young people. If you want to analyze the cover art a little further, you may get a "rich girl vs wrong side of the tracks" vibe. You would be somewhat correct.

This book is totally different than anything you have ever read. The story starts out when Glory goes missing. It is easy to assume that by that adorable cover these two love birds have flown the coop. Don't jump to conclusions so fast (like I did). Glory's life is her music, and only her music, until Frank moves in next door. We take a peek into their budding relationship through a series of photos, instant messages, letters, postcards, and music playlists. As they fall deeper in love, Glory's music begins to suffer. She is unable to complete a single piano concert without playing Chopsticks. Everything begins to unravel, and Glory's music career isn't the only thing falling apart.
