Galley Review: Sing Me to Sleep by Angela Morrison

Beth has always been "The Beast"--that's what everyone at school calls her because of her awkward height, facial scars, and think glasses. Beth's only friend is geeky, golden-haired Scott. That is, until she gets chosen to be her choir's soprano soloist and receives a makeover that will change her life. When Beth's choir travels to Switzerland, she meets Derek whose passion and love for her leave Beth breathless, because in Derek's eyes she's the Beauty, not the Beast. When Beth comes home, Scott makes a confession to her that leaves her torn. Derek or Scott? Will the secret that Derek is hiding from her make the decision for her?

What SL teens are saying about the book...

"It keeps you wanting more until the end when all the pieces fit together. The only disappointing thing was that sometimes I couldn't tell who was speaking and had to go back and re-read the dialogue." --Andrea O. D.

"While Morrison's prose had me sobbing like a baby, I think this book needs more work. I was disappointed by the ending. --Nikki B.
