Iris has moved to a whole new country with her mom.  The upheaval has taken its toll already on her family.  Then her cousin, introduces her to a local music star who thinks he is all that. Sabastian makes music, goes to school, and apparently annoys his new neighbor.  Iris is mad at him for wanting her.  She has her reasons, but everywhere they go - they run into one another.   I feel all that I can reading this story.  I found myself laughing and crying.  I could understand where the characters are coming from.  Very proud of the main character, she has serious integrity.  Such a fun read.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This copy was given for an honest review.
