The steryotypical teen drama.

Struts and Frets:
The boy gets the girl. the girl gets the guy.  They like music and are talented. The parent(s) are really cool. Everybody ends up happy in the end. oh wait....SPOILER!
There's more, right?-(Anabel Polin)
Actually no. This is the way every thing ends. Oh.. the grandpa is crazy, but i bet that was pretty obvious if you got threw the first couple of chapters of this book. But see, I did happen to get through the whole book- before realizing that unlike the other half of it, the ending was unrealistic and just what the reader wanted to hear. . .which wasn't what I wanted to hear. I wanted to read something that was realistic. Where, maybe the main character didn't exactly get what he wanted. And not everyone ended up happy, but there was some conclusion. I was hoping that this story would end in something that would have a reasonable conclusion that would keep the story real. for a story that started out completely relate-able and realistic, it ended in some gushy, love fest where every turns out OK. And fine. Which isn't too realistic. I mean, his girlfriend's father gives him a very, very expensive guitar, he gets together a really amazing band, and his mom is attacked by his insane grandfather... who has already been established as insane. She's fine though.
I guess I'm just disappointed that the end plot of this story was clesa (spelled wrong) and kinda unrealistic. But other than that, I pretty much solute the author on how realistic the whole beginning was. And how I sometimes even believed that the story was real, because it made me feel so connected to the characters. I guess that that's really what reeled me into the book. The point that i was reading something that i could relate to and had feelings about.
