A Thousand Perfect Notes (Paperback)

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.

Loved it

Sun, 16 Sep 2018 | Review by: Sue @ Crushingcinders

I just finished and in a tangled mess of feelings. Love it. I have been so excited to read A Thousand Perfect Notes. Sharing music is personal because music speaks, it feels, it breathes. But with that anticipation came a bundle of anxiety – what if I don’t like it, and it’s Cait. Everyone knows the Paperfury and who am I to judge… I shouldn’t have worried. It was Cait’s voice, a little tamer than her blog posts, but recognisable and I loved it. The characters are brilliant! I am so in love with Joey and August – they totally stole the show. Is possible C.G.Drews aka Paperfury is more marshmallow than world dominator? As I anticipated cake, chocolate, knife-brandishing and stabbing are featured in the book, but not quite in the way I expected. The cover is beautiful! I bought the Kindle edition when it first came out, but when I saw the paperback in a bookshop at Singapore’s Changi airport. I just had to have it and I have been carrying it around with me just because I am not ready to let the story go. Full Review: https://crushingcinders.com/a-thousand-perfect-notes
