SUMMARY
A YA novel from USA Today bestselling author Sarina Bowen.
Never ask a question unless you’re sure you want the truth.
I’ve been listening to my father sing for my whole life. I carry him in my pocket on my mp3 player. It’s just that we’ve never met face to face.
My mother would never tell me how I came to be, or why my rock star father and I have never met. I thought it was her only secret. I was wrong.
When she dies, he finally appears. Suddenly I have a first class ticket into my father’s exclusive world. A world I don’t want any part of – not at this cost.
Only three things keep me going: my a cappella singing group, a swoony blue-eyed boy named Jake, and the burning questions in my soul.
There’s a secret shame that comes from being an unwanted child. It drags me down, and puts distance between me and the boy I love.
My father is the only one alive who knows my history. I need the truth, even if it scares me.

When I signed up to read The Accidentals, I was really unsure what I was getting into. Is it a rockstar romance, a sweet coming of age YA romance, or a story of familial restoration? I only knew that it was a YA and it was written by Sarina Bowen, and honestly, do you need to know more than that? I was pleasantly surprised to find that The Accidentals was all of this and more.
This story was sweet and entertaining. There were times I felt that my heart might actually break and other times when I was overwhelmed by the forgiveness and hope found in a particular chapter. It was a definite step outside of Sarina Bowen's usual playing field, but I am grateful that she took that plunge.
