This book has been a Christmas present (Thank you, Kim). And that makes not-finishing it pretty impolite (So sorry, Kim). But I also know, that Kim has the same opinion as I have when it comes to reading and pleasure: Spending time with a novel means having fun, means being entertained in the first place to us. And if a book starts to bore, to annoy or to make turning pages hard, there is always the possibility to switch books. I could peruse the question "Is it me or is it the book?". And in many cases I would have to admit: "It's me." But since we are speaking "hobby" here, the consequences would be the same: The book has to go.

I am very grateful for the chance to try this one, though, because:

- The writing is quite good.
- If one likes makeover stories that turn a hideous girl into someone pageant-worthy, "Sing me to Sleep" is perfect fodder. Pre-makeover Beth is described at being so hideous, that the children in the library where she jobs part-time after school are too afraid of her to let her read stories to them (questionable). The bullies at school have coined her as "The Beast" and offer Beth-based pranks for the school's entertainment. Like Mia in the first Princess Diary film, Beth has bushy, wiry hair that hides her scarred, acne-covered face and her thick glasses, which turn her beautiful blue eyes into tiny buttons. I addition Beth is taller than most guys and walks around hunchbacked in order to make her stand out less. Like in other makeover-stories I have read or watched (i.e.: She's out of control) Beth's problems are easily solved by investing some money and by making use of modern cosmetic surgery: The acne gets lasered off permanently (doesn't it return eventually?), the eyes get lasered to perfect vision, the hunch-back gets cured by the resolution to stand straight and the hair gets straightened on a daily basis. And - voilà - Beth is the owner of two surprisingly attractive legs and an impressive bust-line anyhow. Although I do not buy this kind of easy transformation and the bursts of confidence that go with it, I truly enjoyed Beth's new-found self-appreciation and the acceptance and awe of her fellow girls' choir's singers, when Beth reveals her magic power voice to the world. What rubbed me a little wrongly was that Beth didn't know that her best friend Scott actually did see the beauty of her real self all along.
- I liked the choir-centered plot. It doesn't always need to be sports, cheer-leading, rock music etc., does it?

What went horribly wrong and made me chuck the book:

- Beth and Derek meet. I somehow understand that Derek wants to maintain his sexy stud-reputation and craves a normal boy-girl relationship with the girl whose voice made him dream of the girl attached to it and without the emotions and reactions a complete honesty would have stirred up. And I cannot say what kind of teenager I would have been would I have had to deal with his hardships. Still, I get really upset when I get served a manipulative, controlling hero like him. Again and again he tries to influence Beth with unfair means, he makes her feel unsure about his affection, he distances himself, he lies more than he tells the truth. Maybe I even resented clingy and whiny and complying Beth even more. I know this feeling to be wanted and admired is new to her. But does she have to throw away all self-respect and beg - practically on her knees - for a chance to see him although he declined repeatedly?
- Beth, Derek and Scott blather non-stop about about "loving-you-forever", "can't-live-without-you", "running-away-and-having-a-couple-of-kids" and "supporting-a-family". Hell, these kids are 17! I don't deny that the depth of your feelings is not related to age, but eternal love in combination with high-school kids creeps me out in a major way. And I had the sour impression the author was on some kind of mission.
- The love triangle (no need to elaborate). How annoying and how convenient in the end.

I think, will not try another book by the author. I do recommend this book to those who do not mind love-triangles, oppressive heroes, dependent heroines and tearjerkers.

Beth has always been "The Beast" - that's what everyone at school calls her because of her awkward height, facial scars, and thick glasses. Beth's only friend is geeky, golden-haired Scott. That is, until she's selected to be her choir's soprano soloist, and receives the makeover that will change her life forever. When Beth's choir travels to Switzerland, she meets Derek: pale, brooding, totally dreamy and fell in love instantly. However there is something Derek is hiding from her, something that could shatter everything.

Okay, I'm getting teary again just by remembering the things I so love about this book. When I started this I never really thought I would be getting seriously emotional, just until the last part, the impact was really hard you wouldn't be able to help it. Even after I read it, Oh my god, I just can't stop crying.

Beth has a really strong personality. She knows what the people in school calls her, she gets hurt and offended but she doesn't let it affect her massively. Instead she thrives with what she's good at, singing. I love how her character developed through out the story, how she gained confidence, how she has come to accept that she can be loved and she can also love someone. And how to let go and move on.

Derek is the kind of character you would instantly fell in love with. He's thoughtful, real and genuine. Everything about him is just so likable. When he and Beth met I was soo into them already. I love them, I love how they love each other, how they are so sweet together, how they care for each other, even how they make out which they do so steamingly hot. LOL. It wasn't even awkward when the issue of sex is brought up.

The last part was heartwarming, moving, touching, and totally heart breaking. Especially the part where Derek asked her to sing him the "Beth's Song" - to sing him to sleep, and at that instant my heart went crashing down. And then I was crying, really crying. I was suddenly so sad because if you get back to the earlier parts you wouldn't see it happening. You would see a total different Derek, a perfect Derek. And the perfect Derek was the once crafted on my mind. And well, I guess will always be the one crafted on my mind.

Everything from that part was just so emotional that it felt so real even though I was just reading it. It felt like I know them all, that I actually bonded with those characters. The emotional impact was just so strong. It hurts. There are only few books that had affected me like this. I only have 2 books on my 'i-cried-over' shelf. And now this one's added. I rarely let myself cry over a book but, Gahd, this one is just...you just wouldn't be able to help it. After reading, I just lay there on my bed looking at the ceiling, working on the 'what ifs' that made me cry even more. No books had ever made me cry this much.

This book is just wonderful. The kind where you'd find yourself fully involved, like you see, feel, taste everything. That in the end you'd find yourself learning lessons and having realization. :))

This book is one hell of an emotional ride for me. I laughed, I cringed, I smiled and I cried. And oh boy did I cry, I bawled like a baby. It never happened to me. I tear a little that’s all but this book wrenched my heart. It’s about loving your self. It’s about family, friends, music, love and most of all it’s about life. I so love this book!

I didn’t expect this book to be this beautiful. I didn’t expect at the end I’ll cry. But man, it pulled out the cry baby in me, the poignant part of me. I’m emotionally attached not only with the characters but the story itself. It was simple, it was nice, and it was true. I felt the author’s emotion pouring in this book, because it made its way to my heart.

Oh gosh, I’m being so emotional, forgive me. I have a very different expectation of the story. While I do get something right off the bat, it was delivered differently. I thought it’s about a girl who isn’t gifted physically but with overflowing talent. I thought it’s about embracing what you are despite your flaws. I thought it’s about music. I thought it’s about people loving for who you are. It was. It really was. But it’s more, it’s better than I could’ve imagined. I’m super glad that it shattered my pre-notions of the book, because what I have in my head was just a plain story. I didn’t expect it to have a soul. I’m glad I didn’t read any reviews because I don’t think I’ll enjoy it as much as I did if I knew what story will be.

I did say it was an emotional ride. I’m in my highest to my lowest. After a few pages in I could feel that I’m about to give a perfect rating. But the middle part came in, and was hesitant if it deserves it. I didn’t like how Beth and Derek’s relationship had formed. It was so desperate, too rushed. Beth was so clingy, and I’m not sure if I’ll accept it knowing it was a whole new experience for her and as much as possible she want to hold on it tightly (although IMO it was suffocating and on the brink of breaking). But once I found out about Derek’s situation and I kinda feel ok with it. Especially now she knows the truth. I already have my suspicions, from him shoving Beth to Scott, him saying things like it was final, and Beth’s physical observation of him. It only led me to one conclusion. But oh man, it still gave me the surprise of my life. Having a hunch, and proving it… it hurts. It was a sad point in the story. I had a heavy feeling inside my chest and I know I’ll end up with a tear or two gushing out.

My favorite part was when Beth sang her song, the one Derek made for her. When she finally fills his music with her words… the right, true words. Truth to be told, when I read the lyrics it didn’t have music, but it still left a great deal of impact on me. It was beautiful if you put everything in perspective. I hope if I read it again, there’ll be music (but if it does I think I’ll be more emotional than I already am). I love that it is full of life and heart.

I don’t think there’ll be a better title—“Sing me to Sleep” it rings so true. It was perfect, it hits home, and it captivated the full essence of the story. The story opened my eyes—that some people live their life despite everything. It made me appreciate mine more. I hope you guys will read it. It’s a wonderful story of life and music. But I do hope you have a tissue nearby because this one will lead you to tears.(less)

The start was a bit clunky with the 'transformation' and everything, but after it really got into the story, I was happy. Obviously the ending was heartbreaking. I didn't cry, but it was pretty sad.

The part I didn't like was the characters. Not all of them, most were okay, just the main ones, the ones who totally make the book, that's all. I actually liked Derrick for most of it, not just because of the end, because I saw it coming around about the time Beth should have, right at the start. He was moody and all the that, but I didn't really get this dangerous side he was supposed to have except for a small glimpse. I thought he was quite sweet.

Now Scott. Scottie. Dickhead. He was SUPPOSED to be sweet. Bullshit. I get it at the start when Beth is still the Beast that not many guys, almost no guy, would be that nice. But when she comes back, she has a boyfriend that she is in love with and who is in love with her, he really couldn't give a shit, because Scottie isn't happy. If he was this amazing best friend, he would have been happy for her, let her know he was always there for her and ummmm, maybe, I don't know, not try to seduce her into cheating on her boyfriend literally every time he saw her. His motivations seemed really selfish, he wanted the girl, nevermind it's not what she wants and it's killing her to hurt him.
In love triangles, there is supposed to be the sweet romantic guy, and the guy who is pushy and tempting. Scott was meant to be the first guy and he totally wasn't. Out of the two, Derrick respected Beth's feelings more(although it didn't seem like it at times) and Scott was too stuck in his own world to do the same.

Beth...how quick can girls turn weird and stalkery? Seriously, record speed. I know they had this awesome, romantic, book-worthy romance in Lausanne, which I liked, but she always sounded so desperate after they got home. I know she has crippled self esteem, but her paranoia and unrealistic neediness made her hard to sympathise with at times. Every time Derrick backed away the tiniest bit and they couldn't be together, she would scramble and just lose it.
The part at the start with Colby, I hope that doesn't actually happen at schools. If three guys are restraining a girl in the middle of a school, dude, call the cops. I just didn't buy that, felt like it was written for the convenience of the story.

Also, the drug habit thing? Really? Is Beth that naive? He was always pale and coughing and sick, wounds that didn't really heal, and the only reason that she thought drugs was because of one little joking comment from Blake. I'll admit, I didn't pick CF(I thought maybe AIDS), but still, it looked like it was just a way to build Derrick up to be the bad boy he never seemed to be.

Parts that I really liked, but in the end, too much that was convenient to the story but didn't really fit. The characters annoyed me and seemed maybe a little one dimensional, especially Scott.

Also, anyone with tips for me on how to write more positive and much much shorter reviews, please let me know :)(less)

Angela cleverly weaves a touching, absorbing story about friendship, family, love and life. Sing Me To Sleep makes me see the harsh realities of life, the unyielding power of friendship, and shows us that true love transcends all.

Beth was once an ugly girl who was bullied some mean boys in school. After she received sessions of beauty treatment in order to be presentable as the Bliss’s soloist during the Choral Olympics, she becomes a beauty. Even though we always say that inner beauty is more important, this novel suggests otherwise. Just take Beth as an example, why did she receive such unfair treatments in school? I’m sure you know the answer well.

Beth follows her choir to Switzerland to participate in the competition. There, she meets a mysterious, handsome boy from the Amabile Young Men’s Ensemble, Derek, and falls head over heels for him. Her love for Derek grows stronger and stronger each passing day, just as Derek's love for her.

Ah, Derek! He is gorgeous, talented and confident. Just the type of guy that any girl would fall for. Behind his glorious façade, he hides a terrible secret, and Beth doesn’t know what is it. Angela keeps me interested by making him play ‘hide and seek’ – he accompanies Beth for a day or two, then he disappears for days and weeks. I’m not sure if he is just fooling around with Beth or that he really loves her. He seems…elusive. This makes me want to know about his secret even more.

Another thing I love about this novel is the support and love shown by the Amabile guys. They are like a huge, loving family, always supportive and caring.

Angela Morrison succeeded in delivering an original, touching story through Beth's voice with her wonderful writing. She makes me realize that true love is not about appearance, status and ability, but rather the deep feeling of love, care, affection and willingness to sacrifice for the person you love, because of who he/she originally is.

Towards the end of the story, I cried. Yes, you heard me. I cried. And I used a lot of tissues. The story is heart-wrenching... and everything is so real. Two different feelings mingle into one in my heart. I was heartbroken, but I also felt a tinge of happiness at the same time. Beautiful, poignant, touching and thought-provoking, Sing Me To Sleep is a book not to be missed.

Having been in a choir myself, I hoped I could identify with Beth and her experiences in choir. This, however was not the case. Angela Morrison's writing was very pleasant, I'll give her that. Everything else, however, fell a little short.

Beth is described as ugly. She has horrible acne scars, big bushy hair, and she's so tall that she towers over all the guys at her school. However, she conveniently has a gorgeous singing voice which makes her the star of her choir. When her choir enters and wins a competition to go to Switzerland and compete in a huge choir competition, they of course say yes -- and they nomiate Beth as their choice soloist. But, oh no, Beth is ugly! How can this be fixed?

Bam. Some snooty rich girl in choir pays for laser eye correction, skin surgery to remove the scars, and a hair straightener. All of a sudden, Beth is beautiful. The rest of the story is somewhat formulaic -- girl meets beautiful, mysterious boy, boy and girl fall in love, boy and girl must be separated, you know how it goes.

Having said that, I was really frustrated with Beth's character. I found her extremely unbelievable when she became "beautiful." I mean, really? A girl who was brutally teased as a teenager is going to suddenly be all flirtatious and awesome when she suddenly turns pretty? I understand that, yes, it would give her a confidence boost, but I also feel like it was somewhat unrealistic the way she acted.

And then Derek. Oh, Derek. He seemed sweet enough at first. But then Beth decided to be super clingy and freak out whenever he's not right at her side. I found their relationship to be kind of weird. Maybe it's because I don't believe in literary relationships that are based on only physical attraction, but I really get this feeling that Beth didn't "love" Derek like she thinks she did. All she did was talk about how hot he was. After all, if Beth had truly loved Derek, would the book have ended the way it did?

Then there were the song lyrics dusted throughout the novel. To me, it made it seem like Angela Morrison was trying way too hard to make Beth seem moody and deep. And speaking of songs, all of the scenes where Beth was singing (namely towards the end where she sings the song with Derek)? I understand that they gave us insight as to how music made Beth feel beautiful and powerful, but they were really awkward to read. Way too... just too. It was strange.

And, of course, the ending. I mean, really? Really, Beth? After your super-mega-hot-perfect boyfriend dies you're going to go and kiss your best friend, whom you've put through the wringer emotionally? Come on. Truthfully, as I was reading the ending, I couldn't believe what Angela Morrison was doing. Maybe it's all some deeper metaphor that is suggesting that relationships are not always as they seem, and Beth couldn't have really loved Derek if she felt the way she did about Scott, but either way, it was awful.

In short, I was really disappointed with this book. I thought I'd like it, after the good reviews I'd seen on here, but it wasn't worth the read. Like I said, Angela Morrison is a promising writer -- I just wish she'd had a better story to tell.(less)

Except for her best friend Scott, who is completely in love with her, but since she knows she's a "beast" she doesn't see it. Okay, though the extent of the teasing and the scaring of kids seemed a little over the top for reality, sure, the part about Scott rang true. I've been there. But what happened next really bothers me. Her choir group forces her to get laser dermabrasion, stuff her bra, wear makeup and flat iron and dye her hair (blonde, of course). And her mom gets her lasik. First of all, why are we STILL under the impression that glasses = ugly? NOBODY suggests, hey, you know they make glasses that are flattering and are not twelve feet thick these days? Maybe we should go check some out! Nope--it's contacts or surgery or walking around blind instead. And bra stuffing? Seriously? UGH. The makeover was way too extreme and way too stereotypical and way too...old fashioned offensive. So anyway, she gets this extreme makeover and is suddenly HOTT! and then she goes to Switzerland with her choir group and falls in love IMMEDIATELY with this guy who won't tell her anything about himself (but who we can tell is dying withing the first couple of chapters about him). She eventually figures it out, he dies, and then she ends up back with Scott, saying that Derek taught her how to be beautiful (even though really her choir just did an extreme makeover on her) and now she can love Scott. I could have handled the part of the book about Beth being with Derek and (FINALLY!) learning that he's dying and dealing with that. Or I could have handled the part of the book about her being "SO UGLY!!!" and learning to like herself with Scott. But both? It didn't tie together well for me, and honestly, I didn't feel like Beth ended up growing as a character at ALL. I don't even know what the hell Morrison was trying to say with this thing. I mean, the love story between Beth and Derek was kind of beautiful (although pretty dysfunctional) and mostly well written, but...that just wasn't nearly enough for me. There were too many things that detracted from the poignancy of it for me, the main thing being Beth herself; I just didn't find her very likable. And none of the other characters felt terribly realistic, especially Scott. And then there's the stuff about Beth's weird rare genetic issue that will keep her from having kids...what was the point of all that (other than giving her something to cry about in Switzerland)? The whole thing just felt like too much of a mess.

On one hand it’s an interesting story and excellent writing. Morrison knows how to spin a story in a way to keep the reader captivate and interested in her characters. It’s a true gift when an author can get a reader to care about the characters even when I didn’t agree/like everything they did/went through.

That said, there are still two things about the story that, even weeks later, still really bother me. One is the make over. I don’t mind the type where a little hair restyling and wardrobe change gives the illusion of a “better” girl. I do have a HUGE issue with the lengths that this makeover went to. When you get into cosmetic procedures and other surgeries, I start to cringe. What kind of message is that sending to teenage girls? (Who already have SO much to deal with when it comes to body image.) Morrison’s only saving grace is that the makeover didn’t instantly “fix” Beth. She still had doubts about how she looked and took her a while to believe she was truly beautiful. I only hope that the girls can latch onto that and not the whole ugly-duckling made swan = get everything I want.

The other thing that really, really bothered med was Beth and Derek’s relationship. At times, Derek feels like the perfect boyfriend, but most of the time I felt like he was too controlling and mentally/emotionally abusive. Every time he disappeared in a rage or tried to control her life, I just wanted to scream. I know finding out his secret explains his actions, but I don’t think that it excuses him. The secret that he kept made the relationship feel false, like something that always stayed just at the surface. I think Morrison was aiming for a much deeper relationship, but for me it just fell short. While the relationship lasted for sometime (over 6 months if my calculations are correct) they were barely in each other presence during that time and really never knew the real truths about each other.

While Scott had his own quirks, I kept wishing that Beth would dump Derek already and go to him. He was the one who truly knew Beth’s beauty (before she was one!) and loved her for HER and nothing else. I think their relationship was the true love story and wish it had played out more than it did. Of course, their story was not the one that Morrison was trying to tell. (Trying to stay relatively spoiler free, but once you read the book and author note you’ll understand that comment)

Overall, Morrison does a good job at telling a story. I, unfortunately, cannot get past the emotions this book inflicted (whether intentionally or not) and ultimately hurt how much I could have enjoyed the book.

I’d rather be miserable loving you than happy with anyone else.

3 and a half stars

Basic plot:
Girl is "ugly" but is a beautiful singer. Choir group gives her makeover. "Hot" guy from another choir falls in love with her. Dark secret, etc.

What I liked about this book:
-It was cheesy but it still managed to be likeable and it kept my interest.
-The last 50 or so pages had me in tears, so obviously it was good at tugging at the heartstrings.
-The best friend. I liked her best friend more than Derek....more

There were definitely some heartwarming moments in Sing Me to Sleep, and I completely understand how this book could be quite charming for the majority of YA contemporary fans. Therefore, I’m going to equate my indifference for this book to my current mood. See, I think I’m on the precipice of a reading slump, and I don’t want to blame SMtS for what might be a bad book mood.

So, I will start off by saying that I feel the writing and the characters were both sharp and intriguing; and while I stru...more

Let me start off by saying I cried, like tears rolling down my cheeks.

Starting this book I felt a little guilty for not reading Morrison's first novel TAKEN BY STORM but I couldn't resist it, the beautiful cover and the way the book started just grabbed me and pulled me in. I love how the story is more about the inside beauty of love than the outside, I felt that Beth really grew as a character. It's hard to love either Derek or Scott, their both amazing, I did have times where I would get frus...more

I thought Angela Morrison was too ambitious that her ideas just kept on flying mid-book and come the resolution parts, she had no other way to continue her story but to use cliches. I. can't. even. I'm really annoyed.

More Boo!s
-So Beth, the protagonist, sounds like ANTM Cycle 15 Winner Ann Ward but with more zits but GURL, ACNE CAN BE CURED SO WHY THE HECK CAN'T YOU SHUT UP ABOUT PITYING YO SELF. Clearly, she just wanted some LUV.
-Which she got when she flew to Switzerland with her choir for CHORAL OLYMPICS, VOILA! and met this ~pale, pale but ~beautiful singing boy Derek.
-Of course, from that description, you already know what the story's all about. No, Derek's not a vampire. But he has a "drug habit." AND NOW CAN WE SAY FOR ALL NICHOLAS SPARKS PLOTS TO BE BURNED??
-And then there's Scott, Beth's ever-loyal best friend whom she FRIENDZONED most part of the book and then used him by the end when something SO, SO TERRIBLE happened - gasp!!! SURPRISE: Derek died. Now sue me for spoiling it for you.
-You might be wondering how Beth got it on with Derek in the first place when she claims for the first quarter of the book that she was so DAMN UGLY. Well, her very stereotypical villain-turned-mate Meadows and her equally predictable makeover-fiend mom turned her over with surgeries and new clothes and makeup.
-Which just goes to show that there is NOTHING in Beth but a love-starved person.
-Can't blame her, though. Her parents are AWFUL.
-How Morrison played music into the whole story was also awful. Maybe her intention was for Beth to come off as deep or something but she just appeared LAME to me. And how about Derek's songwriting skills? Well, can we talk about his song title skills first? BETH'S SONG? BETH'S SONG? REALLY NOW.
-And one more thing that's awful about this book? Uh, the WHOLE BIT?(less)

This really is one of the most beautiful stories I have ever read. It had me laughing, and it had me crying.

And being perfectly honest, the story should read hokey, in a soap opera over the top kind of way. Take each element on it's own and everything could have become too much. There's a make over, a boy who's special for reasons unknown, and a love that starts in another country. Then there's another boy pining over his best friend. And the bullies!! But I suppose this is my kind of drama because enjoyed it and am not even embarrassed to having cried twice: once when he was explaining what was and the other when she finally sang him her song. Thinking about those moments have me teary eyed again! Anyway, this is my kind of drama; I'd much rather have a girl who feels, and feels deeply over a girl who's caught in a triangle. Or even a boy who isn't so perfect, in his secrecy and wanting to keep his realities separate.

That it's told in her POV added a bit more to me liking this book. Her voice is crystal... I got what she felt. I felt her frustration over Derek, but I also understood why she felt so deeply for him. But she confused me a little too, I know she'd been isolated and was unpracticed in the how-to's of boy's and girl's, but that she'd jump to conclusions and make all these theories had me chuckling and head desking too. So she frustrated me with her naivete. But her loyalty and passion had me reading on.

And speak of frustration, oh my... Derek could be so frustrating but a lot of the drama came in because of him. I loved that he wanted her separate despite knowing full well that doing so would be impossible. My curiosity was piqued even more given his reactions to Scott. Derek is so far from perfect but there's simply something about him that I can't get over.

Then Scott. Talk of loyalty I was relieved to see some real reactions from him. While his loyalty was heartwarming his reactions close to the end of the book made him more plausible.

There's a lot of drama and emotion in this once, but given the simple way it's told as well as the little bonuses of lyrics, well, I enjoyed it.

3/5(less)

It surpassed my expectations and is definetly one of the best love stories I have ever read. I laughed, I cried, I felt everything Beth and Derek were feeling for each other.

Though she lived her life on the sidelines, Beth suddenly found herself thrust into the spotlight when she is chosen to be the new soloist for her all girls choir. With her beautiful voice leading the way, Beth's group wins a spot to compete in the 'Choral Olympics' to be held in Switzerland.

That's when the other girls in the choir decide to give Beth a make over. She receives special treatments for her face, highlights in her hair, and laser eye surgery to have perfect vision.

Now her outter beauty matches her inner beauty, but Beth still can't shake the painful identity of 'the beast'. On her first day in Switzerland, Beth meets Derek. He's handsome, friendly, and also very talented in the singing department. Derek makes it no secret that he likes Beth, just by hearing her sing on her choir's website he was in love with her. At first Beth is doubtful that Derek's feelings are genuine, but when she gets bad news via the phone, Derek is there to comfort her. One minute they're sitting on a bench and she's crying on his shoulder, and the next they're making out!

At that point I hugged the book, screamed a little, and then kept reading! With every page it got better and better. I fell in love with Derek just as much as Beth did! He opened her up and made her believe in herself like she never had before.

It's been days since I finished reading, and I still can't stop thinking about it. It got to me in a way that very few books have. Anyone who reads it will be emotionally affected. I loved it so much that I would campaign for it to be a movie! If you go to the author's official website Angela Morrison - Sing me to sleep you can read the epilogue that she left out of the book. (But don't read it until you read the book.) There is also a link for the trailer, which is on youtube.(less)

Sounds painful, but when such a book keeps you reading late into the night, where you have tears rolling down your face, you know that author has written a work of art. Angela Morrison has written a timeless tale about young love, self worth and the beauty that is inside of us all, where that one person can come along and show us no matter what we look on the outside we have something to offer the world.

Beth has a lot to offer with her amazing singing voice, but not so much with her looks. Beth thinks she’s ugly, so much so that the kids at her school call her The Beast. She wears big glasses, has bad skin and hair that is a mess like the rest of her. One person who does care for her deeply is her best friend Scott. Beth doesn’t really understand why he’s friends with her because she is such a loser, but he doesn’t care and tells her so every chance he gets.

Things begin to turn around for Beth when she is given the chance to travel to Switzerland to compete in the Choral Olympics. The girls in the choir, who at first put Beth down, help her improve her looks. One of the girls, Meadow, who is rich and perfect in every way, becomes her fairy godmother and gives Beth a makeover of a lifetime. Now keep in mind, Beth tames her unruly hair, has a few cosmetic laser surgeries on her face to get rid of her acne scarring and a new wardrobe, but she isn’t miraculously changed into swan. She still thinks of herself as an ugly duckling, but at least people won’t automatically turn away from her in horror.

Before Beth goes to Switzerland, she makes contact with one of the boys from the Amabile Boys’ Choir who will also be competing in the Olympics. Derek, one of the choir boys chats with Beth on-line. She is interested in him but still wary. Derek doesn’t know what she looks like and she thinks the minute he sees her, he’ll make fun of her. She doesn’t think much will come out of it even though it’s nice to have Derek, who is considered quite handsome and popular, to be interested in her voice. Beth is not used to having such attention, especially from Scott, who’s not happy with her new look. Things begin to change between them and Beth becomes very confused, especially after he tries to kiss her after the prom. But before she figures out what Scott wants, off she goes to Switzerland.

Beth meets Derek face to face. Derek is star struck and finds her amazing. They spend all their free time together and begin to fall in love. Beth experiences the wonders of young love and those kisses and touches from Derek that she has been denied for so long. This is a fairy tale come to life for her and she can’t wait to go home and continue with Derek, who lives a short distance away from her. But when they return to their normal lives, their relationship grows rocky. Derek won’t let her meet his family, is sick at strange times and refuses to take the next step in their relationship, where Beth is willing to give him not only her heart but her body. She begins to think Derek is tired of her, but he keeps coming back and shows her how special she is to him with his wonderful kisses and words of admiration.

Beth knows Derek is hiding something and think he’s into drugs. Scott doesn’t like Derek for obvious reasons because he wants Beth and should be the only one sharing her kisses and dreams with. He begins to feed into her worries about Derek. He is keeping a major secret from her and the lies start to mount up, but not for the reason Beth thinks. Derek is living on borrowed time and doesn’t want Beth to know that each day could be his last.

Sing Me to Sleep is a very poignant romance that reminded me of the ugly duckling turning into a swan fairy tale. Even though Beth does become a swan in her own way, Derek isn’t attracted to her because of her looks. He loves her for what she embodies, from her innocence, her inner strength and her lovely singing voice that reminds him of the angels in heaven. Derek is there to push Beth into believing in herself and that she is someone to be cherished.

It’s hard to say why this book made such the emotionally impact it did on me. In part, it has to do with the character of Derek and what’s he’s hiding. That’s a big spoiler, which readers will probably figure out by the last quarter of the book. What Derek goes though is so very heartbreaking, especially for Beth because just as she finds her inner beauty and strength, he must leave her. Angela shows with the character of Derek why some people are in our lives for only a short moment of time. Because Derek and Beth are so in love with one another, they are very intimate with one another. These two can’t stop kissing and touching. It’s handled very well, even when the topic of sex comes up.

Beth can be too hard on herself and this may turn off some readers. But I could understand because of the way she has been treated by those around her and her own opinions of herself. Scott has an important part to play, just as much as Derek, but toward the end he was pushed to the side in a way I couldn’t understand. But the again, this helps cements the love Beth and Derek have for one another and the overall message Angela is trying to get across with their relationship.

Sing Me to Sleep is both uplifting and heartbreaking. I can’t help but compare Angela’s writing to Nicholas Sparks. A Walk to Remember specifically comes to mine when thinking of Sing Me to Sleep. The central ideas of love and devotion are so very strong. After you finish reading this story, the characters of Beth and Derek will stick with you for a long time after. (less)

Personally, I don't think it's fair for authors to write about cancer (i'm not sure if what Derek had was cancer but it was something similar lol) because it's an easy way of getting a high rating (admit it, we all cried when we read My Sister's Keeper and TFIOS).

Everyone hated and called her The Beast, except for his Scott. Scott is Beth's BFF but it's really obvious that he's in love with Beth. I really loved them together. Beth was chosen to be the soloist of their choir for their concert on Europe. Her co-members decided to do some changes which is a lot and transformed her into The Beauty. So the story goes on and there's a guy here who is really HOT. Believe me, really HOT from head to toe. He confessed that he likes Beth through internet but Beth tried to push him away. But she failed. (Aww.) They fell for each other. Kissed every moment they are together. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss. And when they have to go home, Derek promised that they're soon gonna meet each other again. Beth was nervous and not sure about this because of the rumors she heard. Scott kept bugging her and confessing his UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for Beth, but Beth is now into Derek. Derek liked Scott and he even asked Beth to broke up with him (Derek) and be Scott's girlfriend. So they had a fight and everything and blah, blah, blah. And then, Beth figured out that Derek is sick and dying. He fought so hard like an army guy for Beth but there's no hope. (Ronan?) So When he's dying (DAMN IT, I CRIED SO HARD), Beth sing him to sleep. JUST LIKE A DAMN LULLABY. *INSERT AN OVER THE TOP DRAMATIC GIF HERE*. That's when I realized that Derek really loved Beth so much. (I don't know why but I guess I was too slow to realize) After his death and funeral, Beth sang again. THE CUTE THING IS, SCOTT'S STILL THERE FOR HER. He said that it's okay to him if he's the second as long as he's the last. I know it's not realistic but it's really sweet!!! Derek must be happy for Beth because she deserves Scott a lot.

If you're leaving, take me with you, here's my hand.

So this kinda reminds me of TEEN WOLF. (Just the names though.) Scott and Derek. Scott is Scott, Derek is Derek and Beth is Stiles. HAHA.(less)
