An emotionally charged story about the power of dreams, and how passion can turn to obsession. Beck hates his life. He hates his violent mother. He hates his home. Most of all, he hates the piano that his mother forces him to play hour after hour, day after day. He will never play as she did before illness ended her career and left her bitter and broken. 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. 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 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.… (mere)

This book was amazing! The characters had depth and I could not help but come to love them. August was so different from the girls you normally see in YA and it was refreshing to have a character that was not afraid to be herself. Joey was just a bunch of energy and bounced off the walls. Her cooking skills were quite something and I convinced that she will be a chef someday. Beck went from a character who accepted where he was in life to one who stood up for himself and those he loves.
Beck's mother was terrible. She was bad enough that I kept on comparing her to Professor Umbridge from Harry Potter (you know exactly what I mean, HP fans)
I loved, loved, loved the humor. It was spot on and I have some quotes at the bottom of this post that you must read.
The music references were perfect. As a violinist, I did not know all the piano composers but now I have to look them up..'
I have already read this twice since I got this book a week ago.

I LOVED THIS BOOK! One of the absolute best character studies I have read this year. I am going to absolutely fail in describing how awesome and quirky it is. In short, Beck’s mother (the Maestro) was once an amazing pianist. Now Beck is forced to practice hours per day, and abused in between as he tries to protect his toddler sister. He meets August Bray, quirky dog-adopting girl from school and life slowly begins to change. The delight in reading this is the characters and the brilliant spot-on descriptions of life as a tortured musician. Beck is so bottled up, and yet so, so real, and you just want to hug him every time one of those terrible lunches is brilliantly described, and hug yourself with happiness that Joey has him, and he has August. I LOVED this so much I could fangirl over it for hours, and totally fail to describe its awesomeness. You just have to read.

Wow, okay! I follow the author's blog, Paper Fury, quite a bit, and have been excited to read her debut. It is brilliant! Beck's struggle with his mother chills me, with all its complications and its messy cycle of abuse. Anxiously awaiting more from Drews. (
