Phoebe likes Gage, but there's a problem-he's her brother's best friend.As the result of an extra-marital affair, Phoebe Bautista has had little contact with her dad, none with her step-mom, and her siblings have just recently learned of her existence. Now she goes to stay with them while her mom is on assignment in The Yukon for three months. As she tries to find her place and navigate the developing and rocky relationship with her temporary family, she begins to spend time playing music with her brother, Oliver, along with his best friend, Gage.Gage is cute, smart, has selective mutism, and makes Phoebe's heart skip a beat, but she knows she has to fight her feelings for him, so she doesn't ruin her growing bond with Oliver. But the more time the three of them spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore what she feels for Gage, especially when she learns he might like her too.And with her dad pretending everything's fine, the fact that she might never belong anywhere, and knowing that she only has so much time with her new family, Phoebe might not make it out with her heart intact.

Okay don't hate me. I really wanted to give this book more then 3 stars! Selective mutism, secret relationship, a love child, yes! This book was so up my alley. And there were a lot of points in its favor, I really liked all the characters and the story line was great, it didn't feel like the same book I've read 50 times with new names and a different cover like so many YA do now a days.
The issue was the writing left a little to be desired. It was ... stilted, for lack of a better word. There where a lot times I had to go back to make sure I didn't miss things because I wasn't sure what I was reading meant (like when her little brother called her Ate, I had no idea it meant big sister in Filipino and it wasn't really introduced till later in the book). There were also times things were repeated in multiple chapters (like one chapter it would say 'her siblings were mean to her and the next said 'her two older siblings were mean') and instead of describing a scene and letting the reader build it in their minds she would just say 'he was embarrassed' 'she was mad' 'they were arguing'. Honestly half way through I was wondering if this was the authors first book.
It wasn't bad by any means and I hope these are the things the author continues to work on and tweak in later books because I really did enjoy the characters and relationships in this one. So while it wasn't great I can definitely see myself picking up Kaleski's next book. (
