Incredibly Important Topic That’s Very Well Written As Well It’s hard to sum up this story without giving too much away, but if I had to be broad, I could say that this is both a story of how friendship and human affection can open a person up to himself, as well as one of survival in domestic abuse situations, and how much even a little bit of empathy and acceptance can do for a person who is struggling to see himself despite of what his abusers have been trying to get him to believe. Trying to save any childhood his sister might still have, Beck sacrifices anything he might want in life himself, and focuses on just making the precarious lifestyle they lead somehow hold out as long as it can. Forced to live in the shadow of his mother’s brilliant past as a pianist and her grim present of losing her ability to play, Beck struggles to keep up his own emotional stability, and the physical safety of his younger sister. All he is ever told is that he’s not good enough. I know I have a problem with how much I overuse this GIF 😂 5 Reasons To Read A Thousand Perfect NotesĬheck out on Goodreads Get at Book Depositoryīeck is a talented pianist, but he’s also a teenager in a pretty unhappy home, so he doesn’t really know he’s any good. I don’t even normally like contemporaries, so you’ve really got something going on here. I want to read every single book you write. UPDATE: welp! At first I was low-key just getting the review copy, and then one thing led to another, and NOW I’m part of Cait’s blog tour!! I’m not promising anything yet, but there may be further content!! Keep your eyes on the blog 😉 But the way it was done actually didn’t scare me off towards the bushes either! I loved it so much, I’m giving it 5 stars, and guess what? I had nothing to worry about!! So there is *some* love. And then I had an unexpected opportunity to grab at it, and I did, and… And, welp, I LOVED IT. Till it was like a month till the book comes out. WHAT IF.Īnd I’ve been hiding in the bushes ever since. What if it’s sugary sweet and my eyes will roll back and stay there. But Cait’s blog is like so awesome, so she clearly CAN write, right?.I know someone who’s publishing a real, actual book, and I was there when it happened.oh wow! Cait is finally publishing one of her books, something I’ve been asking her about for ages (…WHEN, WHEN, WHEN).I am intensely flapping my arms and squawking like a poor abandoned pterodactyl baby at the excitement of actually having been able to read a review copy of A Thousand Perfect Notes! (Thanks for staying with my review after that sentence.) My emotions towards Cait’s book can be described roughly as such, starting from when I found out she was publishing a book at all:
