By the end of the book, I felt like I really knew them, and that was amazing. Just because I can’t relate as much to Beck or August doesn’t mean that I can connect with them. In some books, I can really relate to the characters, like with Hattie Brooks, in Hattie Big Sky. The writing pulled me in, and wouldn’t let me go until I reached the very last page. I really loved reading this book for multiple reasons, and one was that once I started reading, I couldn’t put the book down. The dialogue and banter was fun to read, and the description and overall writing was beautifully done. The plot of this book was very well done, and I had an amazing time reading it. What I thought was the main idea, or plot, of the story changed multiple times, only making me more and more interested and excited to read on. I was excited and intrigued by this plot, and it only got better as the story went on. 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 of music, abuse and, ultimately, hope.īeck hates his life.
