It’s got such a good representation of social anxiety too (although my book doesn’t, just to clarify!) and it’s also an #ownvoices story about being biracial! Also Kiko is an ARTIST! And my protagonist, Beck, is a PIANIST. Starfish is such an incredible book! I don’t even know if I’ve yelled about this one on the blog yet?! Which is a true dire shame, but it is heartwrenching. My heart turned into an emotionally damp piece of bread reading this because my book was under contract in early 2017 but still a secret (!!) so it was hard to explain why this book meant a lot to me!! But I definitely think ATPN would get on well with this book. Anyway, this one is about Adam (who has ADHD) and Julian (who has dyslexia) and their unlikely friendship coupled with Julian’s very dark secrets of the abuse he suffers at home. Goodreads ||| Amazon UK ||| Amazon US ||| Amazon AUS ||| Waterstones ||| Book Depository ||| Angus And Robertson ||| Wordery ||| Booktopia |||Ī List of Cages is one of my favourite books of last year! It totally smacked me in the feels which is, obviously, just what all good books are supposed to do.
August, fiercely protective of those in need.Īs Beck’s own music swells inside him, can August help him unlock it and say all the things he’s never said? Isolated from the world, he is the ghost of a boy – until August comes along.Īugust, with her bare feet and her blue-doodled hands, her eyes as complicated as the ocean. The tyranny of her passion rains down on Beck in a torrent of violent words and blows.
His mother, a once famous pianist, is determined to live out her shattered dreams through her son.
I am always different.īeck lives for one thing: music. Someone award me.Īlthough obvious reminder…my book is still pretty different to these in style/presentation of topics. Clearly I am filling a void here with my book. So I’ve very cleverly decided to put together a list of books you can read while you wait! These are a bit like comparative titles too! And they were actually really hard to find because music-themed-books ARE RARE UNICORNS. Which is a good point, I’ll give you that. “But, Cait,” you say patiently while building a house out of cake because reading my blog usually gives you that kinda feel, “it’s not here yet so we can’t read it.” I swear this has taken forever and absolutely no time at all, which just proves I’m probably a magical writer wizard creature who manipulates time and you should all read my book. Somehow it’s only 26 days to go?!? WhEn dID thaT happEN. As you may have heard (since I’ve mentioned it once or twice) my debut novel, A Thousand Perfect Notes, is nearly here!
