This is totally not a cop-out for describing them and definitely not because I happen to be hungry right now. Since I have no actual words to describe these characters, and in celebration of the fact that there is so much food in this book, I’m just going to compare them to food, yeah? What I’m saying is they were all basically their own form of crazy, and I’m all for that. They all have such personality, and they’re all very unique, yet they each still were endearing. I loved them all so much (except the Maestro, obviously, but I feel like that’s a given). ❧ These characters! Oh my gosh these characters. It’s very easy to read, easy to follow, but it’s also super descriptive and deep and replete with beautiful figures of speech that turn the mundane into something extraordinary and interesting.
I knew from the first sentence that I was going to love this writing style, and I absolutely do. ❧ The writing is so gorgeous and also super quotable.
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. It’s kind of a big plot point.Īn emotionally charged story about the power of dreams, and how passion can turn to obsession.īeck hates his life. Which was fine, because I really didn’t want to anyway.Ĭontent warning for child abuse (physical and emotional), persistent and descriptive throughout. I just could not put the dang thing down. Already, I can tell you, this was one of my top reads for 2018, easily. What ensues is really a thinly-veiled attempt to rein in my inner fangirl. Also featuring the world’s deadliest future-chef (if the food doesn’t get you, her pink knives of fury will) and a really scary German character who yells a lot.Īaaand, unfortunately, it’s not this one. A Thousand Perfect Notes is the story of an adorable but socially awkward ball of sarcasm with music in his bones and his meet-cute with a girl who is probably training her army of critters to take over the world. Almost like magic, but with 100% less glitz and glamor, 500% more caffeinated drinks, and all the cake. It’s basically pulling a story out of thin air. But did you know she did this really crazy thing called writing a book?
Drews (she needs a lot of aliases because only boring people have just one). Let’s be honest: everyone knows Cait, a.k.a.
