"Exile" by Kevin Emerson is pretty amazing. The story is told by Summer's point of view. Summer is a high school band manager. She was previously hurt by a previous boyfriend and band. Summer isn't sure at first if she wants to get into the band business again after her previous band and boyfriend ditched her for Candy Shell records.

She may not have musical talent but she makes a great manager because she knows what she is doing and how to get a band noticed.

Caleb quit his band when he found out the news about his life and decided that it was better that he just figure out thing son his own.

"Exile" was so much fun. It was pretty fun getting to know the character of "Exile" and finding out all the different parts and pieces of a band. Band life can be filled with a lot of drama and complications. I love how the songs in Exile are original and play a big part in the novel. I think this book is so perfect is so many ways. I think "Exile" would be one of those books that gets people who don't like reading interested in reading. "Exile" is fun and it is more of a contemporary. It is a book that could take place in the real world, as of today and right now. "Exile" is one of the best contemporary books that I have read and I can't wait for its sequel to come out. to know what happens next very badly. Definitely check out this book because it is absolutely amazing because even the writing is so good. Kevin Emerson is such a good writer. He has a way of drawing you into the story and getting hooked. I don't think you will be disappointed investing time into this novel.
