A review by unabridgedreads
The Sound by Sarah Alderson

5.0

I've had this book for a long time now, I picked it up because it was cheap and part of a deal (I know..) it had been sitting on my shelf since then with no motivation to pick it up and start it. I honestly thought I was never going to read it and it would stay on there until I got rid of it. But my English class got told we HAD TO READ A BOOK FROM THE SCHOOL LIBRARY over the two weeks off. Whilst browsing the shelves and finding nothing I fancied or could finish in that period of time I saw this book, knowing it was on my TBR shelf at home I picked it up (smart idea for once). And I loved it, if wasn't for that I wouldn't have read it. I loved the humor and setting, the main character was funny and connecting, sometimes she was annoying but that wasn't alot, I loved Ren as a character, she wasn't that dumb protagonist we always read about she knew what to do and used common sense. The mystery part was intriguing
Spoiler and I wanted to know who the nanny killer was. I didn't like the 'preppy' people she hung around with but that was the idea. I really liked Jesse and his humor, etc. I thought he was weird and dangerous at the beginning but once you found out the reason which I half guessed I wanted to kill Tyler too, I'm glad Jesse didn't though and Ren actually helped and did the sensible thing (applause a sensible and realistic protagonist), I didn't guess the killer either and I was worried she was going to die. Jesse is probably a new book boyfriend of mine (although I ship him so hard with Ren) he is funny, protective, caring, dreamy and gorgeous (like yes!), just amazing. I loved their relationship (friendship and romantically) and how it didn't go to fast and it was realistic, it also showed who they were as people(great). JESSE AND REN FOR THE WIN. I wanted them together throughout the whole book. They are great characters, the scenes were also amazing, don't forget her writing style. I would read a whole entire another book just about them.
I loved this book and I'm so happy I got around to it, I have to read her other books after reading this I wanted another book just like it. I could write more about this book, but I don't know how to put my feelings into words expect I loved ALL OF IT, CHARACTERS PLOT, WRITING, HUMOR,EVERYTHING. I recommend this and I want to re-read it like RIGHT NOW. This is probably a new favorite. I'm going to stop now.
