Playlist For A Broken Heart by Cathy Cassidy

Used to the rich life of private school and mansion home in Richmond, London, nothing prepares Paige for just what is about to happen to her life.

She finds herself out of the play she desperately wanted to star in, playing Juliet opposite her Romeo, Alex and instead moving to Bath to live with her mum, dad, aunt, uncle and their three young sons, Tasmin their daughter whom she finds herself sharing a room with and their cat and dog.

When her aunt buys her a CD from a charity shop she's intrigued, the bands are local and their songs are summing up her life right now perfectly. She plans along with cousin Tasmin and her best friend, Clover, to track down the mystery boy who made this mix and resolve the case of who made the CD that knows her so well.

Of course, in the story her best friend from back in Richmond Allegra visits along with Alex and they come for the music festival happening and too see the flat that eventually her family moves into and makes their new home whilst her mum works in a school office with her sister and her dad sets up his new business. This book was a great fast read and perfectly makes you believe that love can bloom out of any situation no matter how bad things seem. I loved the mystery and how well the girls jelled overall by the end of the book, they truly needed each other family and friendship wise and the final conclusion to whom exactly the mystery boy is was great too and made me feel like Paige was going to be with the guy for a long time.
