They met when they where in a band, and they are ex-rockstars.Her father has stopped calling her and her mother three years ago. And her sister Luna has moved to New York City and lives in Brooklyn, where she followed the footsteps of her parents and is in an indie-rock band.
But Phoebe, is tired of half-truths and vague explanations. When she visits Luna in New York, she’s determined to find out how she fits in to this family of storytellers, and to maybe even continue her own tale—the one with the musician boy she’s been secretly writing for months. Told in alternating chapters, Phoebe’s first adventure flows as the story of Meg and Kieran’s romance ebbs, leaving behind only a time-worn, precious pearl of truth about her family’s past—and leaving Phoebe to take a leap into her own unknown future
Although it took me a bit to get into it was an okay read. Well written but not engaging. As a reader you are waiting for some sort of grand finale reveal, which it didn't have. There is no reveal. Nothing terrible happened in the past. Just a bunch of people who don't talk. This entire story could have been resolved if someone picked up a phone and started a conversation. The characters where okay, altough nothing truly stood out in difference from other YA novels. It was nice that the author choose to let the pov change from Phoebe in the present time to Meg in the 90's when she and Kieran met. Phoebe's travel and stay in New York with Luna was also okay, but I didn't get the point what made a difference in Phoebe's life. It didn't add anything that much.]
I thought it is an okay novel but nothing special.
