A Little Wanting Song by Cath Crowley

Charlie and her father come to the same small town where her grandparents live every summer from the city.  She writes songs, but has always been too scared to sing in front of anyone.  Charlie has always been envious of Rose and her two friends Luke and Dave, and wishes she were better friends with them.  Rose wants nothing more than to escape the town she's always lived in.  She secretly is accepted to a school in the city behind her parents' backs.  Charlie seems to be the ticket out of the town that keeps weighing on her back.  Get ready for a ride through the words of Charlie and Rose about this eventful summer. 

This book was one of the best i've read this summer.  Written in alternating chapters through the voices of Rose and Charlie, events from the past and present unfold.  The plot winds through friendships, betrayals, romance, and loss.
