Do Angels Sing the Blues?

By Anne C. Lemieux and A.C. Lemieux

Book Overview

In this absorbing first-person narrative about friendship, love, competing loyalties, and loss, accomplished guitarist, James "Boog" Buglioni, charts the relationship changes with his best friend Theo Stone, charismatic singer in their band "Blues Thing", that happen across their senior year. Theo is swept off his feet by new student, Carey "?" Harrigan, who enters their lives the first day of school dressed like "a walking tag sale." The disruption brought by the enigmatic, creative, but troubled young woman precipitates an unraveling of Boog's and Theo's tight bond. Theo attempts to help Carey shore up her damaged self-image (impacted by the death of her mother at a young age, which sent her science teacher father along an ongoing alcoholic path, dragging his daughter down), but his attempts interfere with the band and his own family relationships, and college plans.

I believe I read this book back when I was either in 6th grade or Jr High. I read it second hand from my sister. It was a very pivotal book for me at the time. Though I don't know whether I would feel the same if I were to read it again, I liked it well enough, I mighta give it a try to see. I would love to go into detail over what I remember, but I wouldn't want to spoil it for others who might consider reading it. I just remember crying deeply, confronted with new emotions I hadn't ever had to grapple over in my young life.

This book was soo amazing! Not only is it written really well b/its NOT predictable-at all. It's kind of a deep book which makes the plot great and unpredictable. The story itself is soo is touching. It really involves you,and the characters have great personalities. Anyway, if you wanna a good read-this is definitely a book for you!
