    About this ebook

    Twenty-year-old Maggie Roads’ parents are legendary in the country music world. She wants nothing more than to follow in their footsteps, but the limelight isn’t reserved for singers who can’t carry a tune, let alone keep a rhythm.

    When her parents tell her they’re getting divorced, Maggie decides it’s time to leave home and take her future into her own hands. Moving in with Cole, her best friend and sometimes boyfriend, might not be the best of ideas, but she’s got to start somewhere. Their off-and-on romance gets even more complicated when Maggie crushes on her new voice teacher, Nathan, who unlocks her stunning potential. A sensational music career of her own is finally within reach, but Maggie might need more than perfect pitch to find what she’s really looking for.

      OUT OF TUNE has become my favorite YA/New Adult title this fall! The book is about a twenty-something girl named Maggie who wants nothing more than to step out of the shadow of her country music superstar parents, and sing. Turns out, it's not that easy.

      I absolutely loved the fact that OUT OF TUNE was a love story, without all of the explicit sex. The author really gave the reader credit, in allowing us to use our imagination. I really empathized with Maggie and the tough decisions she had to make. I repeatedly found myself pausing in order to put myself in the same situation. Would I take on all the responsibility that would come with being with Cole? Or would I choose the comfortable life with Nathan? I just loved how deep the whole situation was.

      OUT OF TUNE was definitely a page turner. Country music and out of the norm situations with the characters was a refreshing change of pace in a genre that seems to be stale. I will definitely be recommending this novel to friends and family, as well as checking out more of Michelle D. Argyle's titles!
    • 5/5
      This book takes you on a journey. An unexpected journey, with twists and turns, heartache, love, laughter, tears...it's got it all.

      This one is an outstanding example of a "coming-of-age" story of Maggie, who just turned 20. Her parents are country music superstars, which makes the setting for this story so unique.
      She faces many challenges, but faces them with maturity (most of the time...can't blame her for reacting like a young adult sometimes), and has to make potentially life altering decisions.

      I thought the Author Michelle Argyle did a great job throughout this book
    • 4/5
      ook Info: Genre: Literary FictionReading Level: New AdultRecommended for: fans of New Adult, coming-of-age fiction, country musicTrigger Warnings: infidelity, miscarriageMy Thoughts: While this is not the sort of book I normally read, I have read and enjoyed this author's work in the past ( Monarch , review linked here; The Breakaway , review linked here), so decided to give it a go.“All the good things were easy to overlook when she was standing in a pile of wreckage, wondering what had started the first explosion.” That quote sort of encapsulates the story and the experiences that Maggie goes through during the course of this book. She's been sheltered her whole life, home-schooled, following her country-music-star parents on their tours, and now, at 20, she wants to strike out on her own.The one thing I really did not like was the resolution of the love triangle. Even though what happened is, unfortunately, realistic, it seems very unfair to the guy she doesn't pick. It also felt sort of tacked on. Unfortunately I can't be more specific, so as to avoid spoilers, but I think most folks will see what I mean when they read this.However, fans of New Adult novels, coming-of-age books, and country music should all enjoy this book. It is well-written (not that I'd expect anything less of this author) and the characters can all be related to easily. Check it out if this sounds like your sort of thing.Disclosure: I received a copy of this book from the author's publicist in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.Synopsis: Twenty-year-old Maggie Roads’ parents are legendary in the country music world. She wants nothing more than to follow in their footsteps, but the limelight isn’t reserved for singers who can’t carry a tune, let alone keep a rhythm.When her parents tell her they’re getting divorced, Maggie decides it’s time to leave home and take her future into her own hands.
