review 1: NOTE: I was given a free copy in exchange for an honest review as part of Argyle's blog tour. I am a HUGE country music fan, so signing up to host a tour for this and review it was a no-brainer. I'd already read and enjoyed a couple of her other books, so I couldn't wait to check this one out. It follows the story of a young woman whose parents are country superstars. She has a burning desire to get up on stage and sing like they do, but there's one problem--she can't sing. I enjoyed this story very much. The characters were interesting and the relationships between them were believable to me. I particularly loved how Argyle took us on a journey of this young woman trying to assert some independence for herself while still wanting so badly to hang on to the familiar things... more in life, especially with a bunch of personal turmoil going on. I also liked how the author worked in so many details about the music business and vocal training. Overall, an entertaining and touching read. :)
review 2: I received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed Out of Tune. It was a nice change of pace from the normal boy meets girl, girl falls for boy and they live happily ever after. This was a story about Maggie who is a twenty-something woman who is trying to find herself. She goes through a lot of heartache to get to where she wants to be, but it does make her a stronger person I think. Maggie is the daughter of Down Sugar Road and wants to be a singer just like her parents. They live the perfect life and she wants if for herself too. The only thing is, she is completely tone deaf, and her parents are what they seem. With everything getting thrown at her in sure a short time, she runs to her very good friend (and old flame) Cole. Maggie and Cole used to have a very intense relationship, that is until he wanted to end it. Maggie soon finds out, Cole has been keeping a huge secret from her and she runs to the arms of another man, her new voice teacher Nathan. Soon Maggie starts to realize that maybe she over reacted when she received the news about her parents, and about Cole as well. She tries her hardest to make up for all of her own mistakes and the anger she showed to everyone, and while doing this, she finally finds who she wants to be. The only question, does she really want to stay with Nathan or will she try to get Cole? Maggie is starting to finally see what she might be missing and realizes she never should have let Cole push her away. Will she try to make amends and have her happily ever after? I really liked this book, it was different and I liked that Maggie was a really country. Michelle definitely did a fantastic job explaining the music business and going into details about that part of the story. The only thing that irritated me was Maggie and Cole's relationship. There were points I just wanted to smack them both and tell them to wake up. I will say I did enjoy going on Maggie's journey with her and hope their is a novella or something with what happens with her and Cole. less
