Summary from Usborne
Lucy Beck-Moreau once had a promising future as a concert pianist. The
right people knew her name, her performances were booked months in
advance, and her future seemed certain. That was all before she turned
fourteen. Now, at sixteen, it's over. A death, and a betrayal, have led
her to walk away, leaving her talented ten-year-old brother, Gus, to
shoulder the full weight of the Beck-Moreau family's expectations. Then
Gus gets a new piano teacher who is young, handsome, and interested in
helping Lucy rekindle her love of piano - on her own terms. But when
you're used to performing for sold-out audiences and world-famous
critics, can you ever learn to play just for yourself?
Nayuleska's thoughts
I
loved the personal battles Lucy went through in her music obssessed family, and
the family's butler/cook/housekeeper/confidante was the sole constant for Lucy.
I absolutely hated the icky path the plot took romance wise - I only kept
reading because I wanted Lucy to listen to her best friend and see sense.
