It totally smacked me in the feels which is, obviously, just what all good books are supposed to do. August, fiercely protective of those in need.Īs Beck’s own music swells inside him, can August help him unlock it and say all the things he’s never said? Isolated from the world, he is the ghost of a boy – until August comes along.Īugust, with her bare feet and her blue-doodled hands, her eyes as complicated as the ocean. The tyranny of her passion rains down on Beck in a torrent of violent words and blows.
His mother, a once famous pianist, is determined to live out her shattered dreams through her son. I am always different.īeck lives for one thing: music. Someone award me.Īlthough obvious reminder…my book is still pretty different to these in style/presentation of topics. Clearly I am filling a void here with my book. So I’ve very cleverly decided to put together a list of books you can read while you wait! These are a bit like comparative titles too! And they were actually really hard to find because music-themed-books ARE RARE UNICORNS. Which is a good point, I’ll give you that.
“But, Cait,” you say patiently while building a house out of cake because reading my blog usually gives you that kinda feel, “it’s not here yet so we can’t read it.” I swear this has taken forever and absolutely no time at all, which just proves I’m probably a magical writer wizard creature who manipulates time and you should all read my book. Somehow it’s only 26 days to go?!? WhEn dID thaT happEN. But dare he reach for it? Thrilling and powerfully written, this is an explosive debut for YA readers which tackles the dark topic of domestic abuse in an ultimately hopeful tale.As you may have heard (since I’ve mentioned it once or twice) my debut novel, A Thousand Perfect Notes, is nearly here!
When Beck meets August, a girl full of life, energy and laughter, love begins to awaken within him and he glimpses a way to escape his painful existence. But Beck is too scared to stand up to his mother, and tell her his true passion, which is composing his own music - because the least suggestion of rebellion on his part ends in violence. He will never play as she did before illness ended her career and left her bitter and broken. Most of all, he hates the piano that his mother forces him to play hour after hour, day after day. An emotionally charged story about the power of dreams, and how passion can turn to obsession.
