Narrative Conducive To Books Sing Me to Sleep
THE TRANSFORMATION Beth has always been "The Beast", that's what everyone at school calls her because of her awkward height, facial scars, and thick glasses. Beth's only friend is geeky, golden-haired Scott. That is, until she's selected to be her choir's soprano soloist, and receives the makeover that will change her life forever. THE LOVE AFFAIR When Beth's choir travels to Switzerland, she meets Derek: pale, brooding, totally dreamy. Derek's untethered passion, for music, and for Beth, leaves her breathless. Because in Derek's eyes? She's not The Beast, she's The Beauty. THE IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE When Beth comes home, Scott, her best friend in the world, makes a confession that leaves her completely torn. Should she stand by sweet, steady Scott or follow the dangerous, intense new feelings she has for Derek? THE HEARTBREAK The closer Beth gets to Derek, the further away he seems. Then Beth discovers that Derek's been hiding a dark secret from her that could shatter everything.Rating About Books Sing Me to Sleep

I must say that Sing Me To Sleep is one of the best books Ive read these few years. Angela cleverly weaves a touching, absorbing story about friendship, family, love and life. Sing Me To Sleep makes me see the harsh realities of life, the unyielding power of friendship, and shows us that true love transcends all.Beth was once an ugly girl who was bullied some mean boys in school. After she received sessions of beauty treatment in order to be presentable as the Blisss soloist during the ChoralFirst off, I have to admit that this isn't the type of book I usually read. Most of the books on my shelves contain some level of paranormal activity/creatures, mythology or something of that sort. I have been thinking about what I would say in this reivew all morning. To come up with words to describe this book just isn't possible, but i'll give it a try. Exciting, romantic, heartbreaking, breathtaking are just a few words that come to mind when I think of the brilliance that is Sing Me to
***This review contains some mild spoilers***This book has been a Christmas present (Thank you, Kim). And that makes not-finishing it pretty impolite (So sorry, Kim). But I also know, that Kim has the same opinion as I have when it comes to reading and pleasure: Spending time with a novel means having fun, means being entertained in the first place to us. And if a book starts to bore, to annoy or to make turning pages hard, there is always the possibility to switch books. I could peruse the
I just cannot help but get the sense that more and more authors are grasping for that instant connection that Bella and Edward had in "Twilight". Now, I know there are lots of haters of that series and frankly, I HATED the last book and once the glow wore off the first book, I realized it's not the best written book I've ever read. However, I cannot deny that the connection Bella and Edward had really seemed real (as least it did to me). I can not say the same about this book. The description of
I can't begin to say how much I LOVED THIS BOOK! It surpassed my expectations and is definetly one of the best love stories I have ever read. I laughed, I cried, I felt everything Beth and Derek were feeling for each other.Though she lived her life on the sidelines, Beth suddenly found herself thrust into the spotlight when she is chosen to be the new soloist for her all girls choir. With her beautiful voice leading the way, Beth's group wins a spot to compete in the 'Choral Olympics' to be held
Id rather be miserable loving you than happy with anyone else. 3 and a half starsBasic plot:Girl is "ugly" but is a beautiful singer. Choir group gives her makeover. "Hot" guy from another choir falls in love with her. Dark secret, etc. What I liked about this book: -It was cheesy but it still managed to be likeable and it kept my interest. -The last 50 or so pages had me in tears, so obviously it was good at tugging at the heartstrings.-The best friend. I liked her best friend more than Derek.
