Review of Porcelain Keys by Sarah Beard
Aria's life is full of secrets--secrets about her mother's death, her father's cruelty, and her dream to go to Juilliard. When Aria meets Thomas, he draws out her secrets, captures her heart, and gives her the courage to defy her father. But when tragedy strikes and Thomas disappears, Aria is left alone to transform her broken heart's melody into something beautiful. Porcelain Keys is a captivating love story that will resonate long after the last page is turned.
My Thoughts:
At times heart breaking and
at others emotionally lifting, Porcelain Keys is
a fresh, heart wrenching take on boy-meets-girl. Two broken characters come
together to begin the long, hard process of helping one another heal, but only
if they can allow themselves to open enough to be healed.
Beard uses fantastic imagery through music to tell the tragic
story of Aria and Thomas, taking the reader along on a swelling crescendo as if
we're part of the song—and what a beautiful song it is. Strong writing,
enthralling characters, realistic situations, and a love story to root for make
this book a must-have for anyone who loves a well told story.
