Myself in Blue #2
Wake Me Up Inside
After a devastating junior year, Melodie Chapman Oshiro-Morning changed so much she's now a pariah at school. Everyone thinks she is a slut, but she just needs to see how much in control she can be, because when she wasn't, Stephan turned her into his puppet. She also misses Linda, her ex best-friend, whom she trusted more than anyone else in the world, and chose the worst moment to make the worst confession. Mel's just going through the motions until graduation. Sleeping inside herself, her only hope of waking up is to join the army after high school and become the soldier she's always dreamed to be.
Dylan Mackenzie's life hasn't been easier either. His mother just got sentenced to mandatory rehab, so now Dylan and his brother have to move and live with their father, who stayed out of their lives for the past seven years. Dylan has pretty much raised himself and Simon, never able to count on either of his parents, but now he has to relinquish power to a man he can't really respect.
Once a renowned doctor, their father lost everything to drugs--including his license. Now he's a janitor at a private school, at least earning a scholarship for his sons. All Dylan wants is to focus on becoming the best doctor he can, as fast as possible, so he can take Simon--and himself--out from under their parents' influence. He doesn't have time for drama, for dates, or for girls.
But then Melodie walks into his life, and he may not have the self control to resist her. Is Dylan just what Melodie needs to wake her up?
Wake Me Up Inside is book 2 in the Myself in Blue Series. Even though it can be read as a standalone, this novel makes several references that can be spoilers if you haven't read the other books beforehand. Therefore, it may be better to read the books in order.

This series of books is by far my favourite book series.
The series follows the different lives of the Oshiro-Morning family and it is so cleverly done. Each story is set in a different time and each character is so different from the next.
This book is number 2 in the Myself In Blue series and this story follows the life of Melodie Chapman Oshiro-Morning, daughter of Winter.
The story is based around her Junior Years at high school, she is holding a secret back from her family and I could not work out what this was until it was revealed in the book.
This story is overall a story of teenage woes, devastation and there is an element of romance in it.
The story also introduces Simon who is Autistic, the author has developed Simon in a tasteful and accurate way, I am the mother of an Autistic son and I could relate to a lot of Simon's character.
I don't want to spoil the story but I would highly recommend the Myself In Blue Series, the books so far have linked in well and each story is like putting another piece of a jigsaw puzzle together.
5 stars!!!
