The Sound of Us by Julie Hammerle
Pages: 304
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Source: YA Bound Book Tours
Format: ePub
Rating: ☆ ☆ ☆
Kiki Nichols might not survive music camp.
She’s put her TV-loving, nerdy self aside for one summer to prove she’s got what it takes: she can be cool enough to make friends, she can earn that music scholarship, and she can get into Krause University’s music program.
Except camp has rigid conduct rules—which means her thrilling late-night jam session with the hot drummer can’t happen again, even though they love all the same TV shows, and fifteen minutes making music with him meant more than every aria she’s ever sung.
But when someone starts snitching on rule breakers and getting them kicked out, music camp turns into survival of the fittest. If Kiki’s going to get that scholarship, her chance to make true friends—and her chance with the drummer guy—might cost her the future she wants more than anything.

My Review
Really liked this. I played the clarinet for a few years couple that with my mother musical taste and I never had a chance not to like classical music. Add classical music and reading and this book was already a winner. Julie Hammerle is a good story teller. I liked the way the story was told. I liked Kiki (and the name Kiki). I connected with her. And I was able to picture this read clearly.
It's a light coming-of-age YA done right. In a funk? Try this book.

About the Author
Julie Hammerle is the author of The Sound of Us, which will be published by Entangled Teen in the summer of 2016. Before settling down to write "for real," she studied opera, taught Latin, and held her real estate license for one hot minute. Currently, she writes about TV on her blog Hammervision, ropes people into conversations about Game of Thrones, and makes excuses to avoid the gym. Her favorite YA-centric TV shows include 90210 (original spice), Felicity, and Freaks and Geeks. Her iPod reads like a 1997 Lilith Fair set list. She lives in Chicago with her husband, two kids, and a dog. They named the dog Indiana.
