It's a good book. I personally didn't connect deeply with any of the characters, but that could be because I read it so quickly. I was very interested in the story and loved the characters despite not becoming super attached to any of them.

The book is about a thirteen year old girl named Melly (short for Melissa) who is going to a two week sleepaway rock and roll camp in Michigan. Her parents recently announced they were getting divorced, basically immediately before she leaves for the camp. She and her friend Olivia are in separate bands in the camp, which is bad at first, but as Olivia drifts away in favor of her new crush, Melly begins to drift closer to Adeline, a member of her band. ooooh woah
I'm really bad at summarizing books.
Anyways, it was especially interesting for me to read because Melly has a more introverted personality than mine, and it's interested to get a different perspective than that I usually would.
