This is a YA mystery whose main character, Samantha, is accused of a crime she did not commit.   A responsible young woman, she is deep into her music that incidentally was the same music her deceased father loved.   The plot revolves around her narcissistic, romance-writer mother.

The Book has abundant emotional turmoil with a boatload of teenage angst.  Noah, the lead in the high school play, West Side Story, is worshipped by Sam from afar.   Sam’s more of a loaner, less of a joiner, and very protective of her emotionally volatile mother.

Despite the Nonstop Drama or perhaps due to the nonstop drama, I found the book compelling.  

I recommend the book and enjoyed it.
