Somebody Everybody Listens To by Suzanne SuppleeRelease date: May 13th 2010
Summary: (taken from Amazon)
Retta Lee Jones is blessed with a beautiful voice and has big dreams of leaving her tiny Tennessee hometown. With a beaten down car, a pocketful of hard-earned waitressing money, and stars in her eyes, Retta sets out to make it big in Nashville. But the road to success isn’t a smooth one in a town filled with dreamers, and Retta begins to have doubts: can she make her mark while staying true to herself?
From the breakout author of Artichoke’s Heart, this bighearted novel is a must-read for anyone who has ever chased a dream (or hummed along with Taylor Swift).
I absolutely love reading books that deal with music, and I haven't read many of them, so I can't wait. This just looks like such a great entertaining read. I've already read a couple of raving reviews claiming that this is a unique story. I'm very excited! :)

Sounds awesome. Reminds me of a film I used to love The Thing Called Love (1993)
Check it out if you want to see a young River Phoenix, Sandra Bullock, Samantha Mathis, and Dermot Mulroney.
Thanks Juju I'll definitely be looking into it!
This does look like a fabulous read!
Sounds interesting but a tad over done, hope there is more to it than just what the summary says.
Nice pick, love the cover. Mine is at The Crowded Leaf.
I want to read this one too. Great pick! I haven't read Artichoke's Heart yet. I might have to look for that one too.
Here is my WoW pick
I haven't heard of this book, but like Juju it reminds me of the movie That Thing Called Love. Hmm, I will have to look for it come May 13.
Oh wow! I have this book on my wish list! Can't wait to read your review of it!
