Exile was definitely an interesting read. I went into it expecting a fluffy contemporary with a bit of music but it actually has a bit of mystery intertwined in all the music and contemporary. I liked the main protagonist, Summer, and how she didn't lose focus and basically logic because of it. She gave herself time to wallow but after that, she turned a new page and moved forward. I also loved how she's a music manager and how her school is music, and all types of art, oriented. The introduction of a new guy in her life, also a lead singer of a band (her ex-boyfriend is a lead singer too), had me a bit suspicious. I grew a bit protective of Summer but Caleb was such a great guy. Plus, the book isn't about the romance.. it is about a secret that Caleb reveals to her that takes them on a chase around their city. Exile was fun, cute, and a very fast read. Another thing that I think is pretty cool is that Kevin, the author, released the songs found in Exile.. ones he wrote and sang himself. So definitely check his playlist out because I was really curious about some of the songs in the book and I would have loved to have been able to listen to them while reading the book!
