Publisher Description
Everyone should have something to rebel against.
Crank Wilson left his South Boston home at sixteen to start a punk band and burn out his rage at the world. Six years later, he’s still at odds with his father, a Boston cop, and doesn’t ever speak to his mother. The only relationship that really matters is with his younger brother, but watching out for Sean can be a full-time job. The one thing Crank wants in life is to be left the hell alone to write his music and drive his band to success.
Julia Thompson left a secret behind in Beijing that exploded into scandal in Washington, DC, threatening her father's career and dominating her family's life. Now, in her senior year at Harvard, she's haunted by a voice from her past and refuses to ever lose control of her emotions again, especially when it comes to a guy.
When Julia and Crank meet at an anti-war protest in Washington in the fall of 2002, the connection between them is so powerful it threatens to tear everything apart.

Song for Julia
Great book, interesting perspective from a blokes side. Very insightful, with plenty of true to life emotion.
A song for Julia
Fantastic, couldn't put it down.
Unsure
Well I actually really liked this book. The problem is I read the first one "Remember to Breathe" first and found the storyline a bit too similar. In that book the main girl (one of theThompson sisters) is almost raped twice and in this book her older sister is actually assaulted. This is why I gave it a low star rating. It's weird that 2 sisters from the same family could have that happen so you kinda find it hard to believe the story if you get what I mean. I'm about to read the third book "The Last Hour" and I'm really hoping that Thompson sister isn't raped or assaulted as well. If that's the case then I won't be pleased. :)
