![]() ![]() The book is very character driven, and I feel like the whole thrust of the plot was more to do with the characters dealing with a lot of stuff, rather than a lot of plot stuff being thrown at them [if this makes any sense at all. But to be honest, that didn’t bother me all that much. ![]() The plot is a bit of a slow-burn, and it moves in small increments when it does get started. I did suggest that I wanted to include A Thousand Perfect Notes in my summer read-a-thon but as you can probably tell, that kinda fell by the wayside in the last few weeks. This is a book that I’ve been meaning to read for quite a long time now, and as much as I hate to admit it, it’s been just sitting on my shelf for the longest time. 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. From Goodreads: An emotionally charged story of music, abuse and, ultimately, hope.īeck hates his life. ![]()
