A hilarious, endearing debut about a teenage girl's quest to find her long-lost father, who just may be a rock star... Trace lives smack in the middle of picture-perfect suburban Winnetka, Illinois.

Customer Reviews

Breezy, Humorous, & Fun to Read

I discovered this book from a review in the Orlando Sentinel. They describe it this way, "a Chicago-area teen grapples with boyfriend issues, trigonometry and her search for the identity of her long-lost dad." It's written in the style of Chick Lit, meaning it is light, upbeat, modern fiction from the woman's viewpoint.

You go Trace!!!

I LOVED this book! It's about time a book was written that showed a strong teenage girl that doesn't care about peer pressure. Trace is a young woman who knows what she wants out of life and who will make it happen. I wish I could be more like her. I can't wait to see what Trace does next.

Fresh and fun!

Finally, a book for about teenage girls that isn't another spin on the "mean girl" syndrome! So Lyrical is fantastic--well written, funny, absorbing and, most importantly, original! Plus, it (almost) inspired me to run a marathon...Can't wait to find out what Trace does next.

Fun for teens AND their moms!

My daughter was reading this book, and I started flipping through it to see what it was all about. From the first page, I was hooked. It turns out, So Lyrical was not only a fun read for my teenager--who loved it--but for me, especially with all bad the 80s music references. Written in a contemporary, funny style, So Lyrical is sure to charm readers of all ages.
