After Ivy is forced to move to "the wrong side of the tracks" due to economic hard times, she discovers that not everything—or everyone—is what they seem, even herself. Fans of Jenny Han and Sarah Dessen will love this funny, poignant, and relatable story.
When Ivy Emerson's family loses their house—complete with her beloved piano—the fear of what's to come seizes her like a bad case of stage fright. Forced to give up her allowance, her cell phone, and the window seat in her lilac-colored bedroom, Ivy moves with her family from her affluent neighborhood to Lakeside, aka "the wrong side of the tracks." Hiding the truth from her friends—and the cute new guy in school, who may have secrets of his own—seems like a good idea at first. But when the bad-boy-next door threatens to ruin everything, Ivy's carefully crafted lies begin to unravel . . . and there is no way to stop them.
Once things get to the breaking point, Ivy turns to her music, some surprising new friends, and the trusting heart of her disabled little brother. And she may be surprised that not everyone is who she thought they were . . . including herself.

From School Library Journal Gr 8 Up—Ivy Emerson, 16, moves from affluent Westside to undesirable Lakeside after her parents declare bankruptcy after getting behind on her brother's medical bills. Leaving her baby grand piano, bedroom with a window seat, and cell phone behind, she fears she'll lose her friends if they ever find out. But keeping up appearances proves difficult when her best friend still lives in Westside, her bad-boy next-door neighbor isn't keen on keeping their interactions a secret, and the mysterious new boy at school seems far more Westside than Lakeside. To make matters worse, Ivy's best friend is crushing on the new guy who, in turn, is mutually crushing on Ivy. Worst of all, she can't even save face with a "respectable" job playing piano at the country club due to her stage fright and fear of being found out. Short on cash and without the perspective that money isn't everything, Ivy navigates the waters of learning what she's worth in a very material world. Although distastefully shallow at first, trying to save face at every turn, Ivy eventually learns that things aren't always what they seem, and that it is not what you have but who you are that matters. A constant barrage of "ums," ellipses, and disjointed plot devices tarnish the reading experience. VERDICT The lesson Ivy learns is important and oh-so-sweet; the journey there is cumbersome and slightly sour.—Brittany Staszak, St. Charles Public Library, IL
Review “When it comes to heart and finding home, this novel hits the right notes.” (Booklist)“This demonstrates that between the lines resides truth about perception, others, and most importantly oneself.” (Kirkus Reviews)“Teens will find a true champion in Ivy” (Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA))“Sweet and satisfying debut.” (The Horn Book)

Moving, fun and one of the best 2015 debuts By Hannah @ The Irish Banana Review There is no better find than a book that pulls you out of a reading rut, and that's exactly what BETWEEN THE LINES did for me. I've found that after several years of blogging and reviewing books that a lot of times, stories start to blend. Deja vu kicks in - I've heard this voice before. I've read this plot before. I know what's coming next. But Sharon Hoss Roat's debut utterly blew me away with its originality and brilliant characters. I absolutely fell in love with this story that had me grinning and laughing out loud and even misting up a little. I loved every second I spent with these characters and told the world (well, the social media world I'm part of).You know, I felt bad for Ivy. Her entire world is upended in the first chapter and sets her on a path for self discovery in the funniest of ways. She makes some insane choices and pays the price for them (nothing too crazy, but enough to teach the reader and Ivy a lesson). Her character development is such a joy to watch as she goes from a naive, somewhat spoiled child to someone who understands the value of family and money.There is some fantastical romance in this book with two boys vying for Ivy's heart, each one harboring their own secrets. One I saw coming, the other I did not, but it never felt like a true triangle (if that makes any sense). I just enjoyed watching as Ivy learned more about herself while around each guy.By far the best part of this for me as the family aspect. Unlike most YA books where parents are oblivious or missing, the Emerson's are front and center. When Ivy talks back to her mom? She gets in trouble. When she has a problem, she talks to her parents. It is refreshing to see a real family (that is not without its struggles) that at the end of the day loves one another.I could go on forever about why BETWEEN THE NOTES is a spectacular book and Roat is on the fast track to becoming a big name in the YA contemporary world, but wouldn't you rather see for yourself?
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Promising Debut :) By Rhea @ Rhea's Neon Journal Reading Between The Notes was like being sucker punched in the stomach with a glob full of feels.Ivy Emerson has to give up her rich girl ways to move into a smaller place with not even half the luxuries of her previous house. Between The Notes is the story of how she adjusts (and sometimes doesn’t) and how she falls in love (and times when she only felt like it was over but it really wasn’t) and of how she learns who her true friends are.It’s funny; there was nothing that was feels-inducing or cute or mushy about the story. It was really sad to see Ivy struggle and push her way through living in a completely different environment. Her only crutch was her music, and even that seemed to be taken away from her (with her piano being too big for their new “apartment.")I won’t lie—I found Ivy to be a bit shallow at first. Thousands and thousands of people live in slums all over the world…and not because they’re millionaire fathers go broke. They were born with less money and most will likely die that way. And for Ivy to go and on about being embarrassed about her new living arrangements? For her to be ashamed of the new friends she was making? For her to ignore real friends in order to keep in the good books of people she admitted to not liking?I hated it. I hated her and I struggled with continuing to read the book. But somewhere along her pity party, I started to feel for her. It’s not like she was a monster and looked down on anyone, it was just that she didn’t know better. She didn’t know the struggles that people have to face and she didn’t know how to adjust to a completely new environment out of the blue. Unfortunately, she was not eased into the idea that her father was heading towards bankruptcy and so, the change was quite literally all of a sudden.Nonetheless, I managed to fall in love with Ivy. She wasn’t quite heroine material, she wasn’t a Mary Sue and she wasn’t perfect. She merely was a really, really inspiring character who managed to salvage all crappy situations from turning crappier and deal with life as it came to her.And then there were the two love interests.Let’s start with James :) God, this guy Between the Notes, by Sharon Huss Roat
