Wild Awake

People are like cities: We all have alleys and gardens and secret rooftops and places where daisies sprout between the sidewalk cracks, but most of the time all we let each other see is a postcard glimpse of a floodlit statue or a skyline. Love lets you find those hidden places in another person, even the ones they didn't know were there, even the ones they wouldn't have thought to call beautiful themselves.

Wow! This book was a surprise partly because I didn't really expect anything from it and partly because the summary didn't begin to explain what the story is really about. This book was written beautifully and it was able to make me feel every emotions that Kiri felt, I fell in love, got heartbroken, was surprised, frustrated, delirious, passionate, in a musical trance, misunderstood, sad and every emotions inbetween. This was a great discovery to start the year 2019!

The little downside of this story was that there was some things that seemed too easy for Kiri, like biking non-stop all over town, being really great at music, writing an entire set in 5 days, learning by heart a 100 pages of piano partition, being the greatest musician in the rom (no real competition)... But I guess it came with the territory, she is a piano prodigy after all...

I guess I would like to see what's next for the characters and I would love to take part in their new adventures!
