The Accidentals
by Sarina Bowen
SUMMARY
A YA novel from USA Today bestselling author Sarina Bowen.
Never ask a question unless you’re sure you want the truth.
I’ve been listening to my father sing for my whole life. I carry him in my pocket on my mp3 player. It’s just that we’ve never met face to face.
My mother would never tell me how I came to be, or why my rock star father and I have never met. I thought it was her only secret. I was wrong.
When she dies, he finally appears. Suddenly I have a first class ticket into my father’s exclusive world. A world I don’t want any part of – not at this cost.
Only three things keep me going: my a cappella singing group, a swoony blue-eyed boy named Jake, and the burning questions in my soul.
There’s a secret shame that comes from being an unwanted child. It drags me down, and puts distance between me and the boy I love.
My father is the only one alive who knows my history. I need the truth, even if it scares me.

What I think about this book?
The author
says this is her first time writing YA lit, but it's like she was born to do
it.
The
Accidentals is one of the most heartfelt, deep, bittersweet and beautiful
things that I've read this year so far, and I'm thankful with the author for
having this book in my life now.
The way the
characters were developed, even though you experiment the whole thing from a
single point of view, is wonderful! There's no way to read The Accidentals and
don't connect with Rachel and her story, to cry with her in sadness, to laugh
with her in excitement, to love, and to be afraid... and live through the music
in her ears and in her soul.
The
Accidentals is full of musical references and analogies, epic quotes and
feelings, but also of a light and fresh sense of humor that will keep you
smiling the whole time.
This book
means a lot to me, because same as Rachel music has been part of my life and I
felt that connection with her as she was telling me her story. The evolution of
the characters in the book was a beautiful thing to see, as it was Rachel
facing her fears, opening her heart and letting herself go.
This isn't
an epic love story of two teens, it's the story of a girl who lost someone important
in her life and found different kinds of love to help her mend her heart:
Friendship, family, music and love. And those are the ingredients that make
this book something special and unforgettable.
