Some Spoilers Ahead.
Sing Me to Sleep started off slow, but the last few chapters were a ride. A ride that had me in tears.
I was bored and anxious for a good part of this book because of Beth and Derek’s relationship. (Mostly Beth’s attitude). She was super clingy, and also the fact that she felt like she couldn’t live without him pissed me off. I hate girls who act as if their world revolves around their relationship.
Reality check: it doesn’t.
And then to just throw poor Scott under the bus! He was there for her when no one else was and then once she gets a boyfriend (and some freaking eyeliner), it’s like he doesn’t even exist. Another thing I dislike that people do in relationships.
Beth was also the most clueless person I have ever read about. Even I picked up on the fact that Derek was sick! (Although, I was surprised about what he had and how that would end.) Furthermore, after Derek died, Beth said something about “leaving me was better” because she was still feeling like she was “The Beast. OH MY GOD! Dude, his death was NOT about you!
Anyways, I went into this book thinking it was about music. It was about way more and made me cry more than I would have liked too.
