Though it would have been easy to make Jasmine’s father a cardboard stereotype, Kelly didn’t. The other band members are equally fascinating, often veering away from what you would expect from them, making them all the more intriguing. The character of Jasmine is complex, haunted, frigid, closed off, wide open, and entirely human. Can Jasmine fool them all and for how long? The problem is that she’s never played for anyone except her best friend. All she has to do is convince three jaded, ultra-cool guys and one amazing girl that she can do it. She finds a listing for a place that she can almost afford but the kicker is that she needs to audition for a band and get picked as their guitarist in order to get the room. She finds herself homeless when her father kicks her out for her decision. Jasmine has decided that she doesn’t want to attend Stanford in the fall, so that she can follow her dream of becoming a musician. The author of Harmonic Feedback returns with another book that centers around music.
