Summary

With original songs by Christine Pillainayagam.

My name is Ellie. Ellie Pillai.... And I suppose I am a little bit weird, but then, aren't we all, just a little bit?

Most days, Ellie Pillai is somewhere between invisible, and not very cool—and usually she's okay with that. But suddenly, Ellie feels different. Maybe it's the new boy at school who makes her brain explode into rainbows every time she sees him (and also happens to be going out with her best friend), or maybe it's her new drama teacher, the one who seems to have noticed she exists. Suddenly, her misfit style, her skin colour, her songwriting and all that getting lost in the music in her head seem to be okay, too. Because maybe standing out isn’t a bad thing after all.

Surprise pleasure

When I found this book, there where no reviews no nothing and I wondered dare I spend my credit on an untested horse. But this book was well worth it. Well narrated, well written and with original music. I do not usually care for audio books with full cast, audio effects or similar, but here I enjoyed the music. I just wish someone would make a playlist available of all the songs mentioned in the story as it would have been nice to have heard them as Ellie expressed her emotions and feelings through them. All the original songs are available on Spotify.
