Beschreibung
An intensely romantic, brilliant debut (Kirkus Reviews) about a dangerous addiction, a fierce rivalry, and a forbidden love.Now is not the time for Carmen to fall in love. And Jeremy is hands-down the wrong guy for her to fall for. He is infuriating, arrogant, and the only person who can stand in the way of Carmen getting the one thing she wants most: to win the prestigious Guarneri competition. Carmens whole life is violin, and until she met Jeremy, her whole focus was winning. But what if Jeremy isnt just hotwhat if Jeremy is better?Carmen knows that kissing Jeremy cant end well, but she just can't stay away. Nobody else understands herand riles her uplike he does. Still, she cant trust him with her biggest secret: She is so desperate to win, she takes antianxiety drugs to perform, and what started as an easy fix has become a hungry addiction. Carmen is sick of not feeling anything on stage and even sicker of always doing what shes told, doing whats expected.Sometimes being on top just means you have a long way to fall.
