This book gave me a strong sense of nostalgia of when I used to read all the Jaquoline Wilson books when I was 10 or something which was interesting. I just picked this book off the YA section of the library so didn't really know what to expect. I thought it was a page turner with it creating strong attachment to the characters and wanting something to go right for Indigo for once. It was quite heartbreaking with her story and gave good commentry on the care system. I loved the connection to music as a romance through music is a particular love of mine. The writing style made it easy but emotional which I enjoyed. There was just something about it that didn't hit with me, but I can't put my finger on it. I'm impressed I managed to read such a chunky book in a short space of time. Overall, it's a light-hearted yet emotional romance about someone who has had a pretty f'ed up start and is trying for a Berger future.
