Review: Every Time You Hear That Song

 

When country music legend Decklee Cassel dies, her televised funeral unveils the much talked about time capsule. It's supposed to have all kinds of pictures, a full album, and so many memories. But when it's opened, the capsule is empty. Instead Decklee sends her fans on a scavenger hunt to find the hidden memories.

Darren Purchase has always loved Decklee Cassel. She and her mom spend hours singing her songs. She's determined to uncover the treasures left behind. Stuck in a small town that she can't wait to leave behind, Darren doesn't have many friends. She does convince a co-worker to drive her the first stop. If they win the prize, she could leave this town in the dust, and he could open a restaurant. 

My Thoughts: This was a great book. I love how it moved back and forth between present day and Decklee making her mark in the country world. She sacrificed so much for stardom. She was terrible, but I felt sorry for her. I loved the idea of the scavenger hunt and having fans search for items. I love how Darren and Kendall became friends during the trip. I liked the idea of escaping a small town - that makes sense to me. But I did also love how it played out. I enjoyed the twist; I did not see that coming.

Cover Thoughts: ok
