Beige by Cecil Castellucci

Katy has been transplanted from Montreal to LA for the summer to stay with her ex-punk-rocker dad while her mom is out of the country doing research. Katy has only met her dad a handful of times and hasn't seen him since she was seven. She has no desire to make up for lost time. She's thrust into this greasy, sweaty, dark punk-rock world and she knows that she doesn't fit in. Compared to the people around her, she's so... beige. She tells herself that she'll hold her nose, power through, and pretend she's somewhere else. But things don't always turn out as planned and once Katy gives this world half a chance, it might be the very thing that will help her figure out who she really is.
I almost put this book down after about fifty pages. I hated Katy. HATED. She was such a bitch! She didn't give anything a chance before she decided that it was terrible and she hated it. She was terribly dishonest with everyone around her, preferring to be nice and bite her tongue instead of experiencing the world.
Luckily, I did not put it down because by the end of the book I loved Katy. So, pick this book up. And don't put it down until you've finished it. :)
