Representaion In Pursuance Of Books Guitar Notes
Hello. Hi. I believe my writing has gone all raw after this long a while of not reading or reviewing. This book, Guitar Notes, in my opinion, is not a book. Rather it projects like a song because of the flow that is so easy to mould into. A beautiful story, crafted on introspection into your life and pursuing what you really want to. It deals with peer pressure, family pressure and skyhigh expectations which crush the need to decide for ourselves when its time.The story is predictable from the very start. Maybe because of the thousand similar books I read based on themes as this. But yet, it signifies a difference, and that's why it shines above the lot. Like how you look at the sunset, and its always there, but you still continue to look at it with awe everyday. Guitar Notes is like that.
I applaud the characters for being so real and easy to relate to. One of the main reasons why I liked this story quite a lot.
This one's for you, Tripp Broody and Lyla Marks. Forgive me for my graph is really without coordinates and so is this poem. :P
"Words are there in me, but there's no song.
Its odd. Its odd.
I am odd.
Yet, I believe I belong there
The Thrum Society is where.
Yes, I got a little room to play
And you may be a graph with no coordinates.
But we are lucky, lucky to sing and play
Even if guilt smeared both our fates.
The notes, they lie still
The strings are all messy here.
Does it matter?
You just need to play.
Lets go, look for pomegranates
In the treehouse we got up there.
And peregrinate away to the world,
Where never a thrum misses the ear.
Quiet, let's listen..
To what the moon got to say.
Does it whisper?
Does it wail?
I think it smiles,
Keeping the gloom at bay.
I keep falling, falling
There's a depth I know I've reached
I don't know if I can pull myself out
Its safe here, easy to leave.
Out of nowhere, it rings in my ears
The song we created together.
And it tells me to rise up,
The Girl Scout is here.
So, when the sun is up tomorrow
I'll wake up with the pick in my hand
And I'll wait with the thrum in my soul
To catch hold of the song when it lands
And I'll remember what you always say,
"Just play."
BR with Numey Berry. Thank you, sistah for racing through it with me :P
Thank you, Purvi, my dearest eldie, for such a pretty rec. :)
4 beautiful Guitar stars!

Have you ever had to do something you didn't want to do, or been forced to participate in an activity you didn't even like? That is basically the life of Lyla Marks. Well besides the fact that she is perfect. Tripp Broody is practically the opposite, he needs his guitar to survive. Them becoming friends seems impossible, but I guess opposites attract right?Hello.

3,5 starsIn this book two high school students who don't really know each other are brought together because of their love for music. For the main part this book was a surprisingly funny, entertaining, enjoyable and light read. The other (luckily rather short) remaining part is just a shame and bad choice of twist in the story.Lyla is (for outsiders) the perfect girl who plays the cello effortless. She started playing after the death of her mom. Lyla is extremely talented but pushed by her
Synopsis: A heartwarming story about an unlikely friendship forged between a straight-A, classical musician and a bad-boy guitar player told through notes, lyrics, texts, and narration.My Review:Guitar Notes is a refreshing story about blossoming friendship and love for music, about choices and its effects on you and around you. WARNING If you haven't read the book please don't go ahead and read ....huge spoiler alert.... (view spoiler)[oooooooh here meets miss Perfect with the bad boy musician
This is more like 5 stars for the first 225 pages, 2 stars for the last 40 when it pulled out every sappy cliche in the book. But I wouldn't have been so mad about that if the rest hadn't been so good.
Review also posted at Ja Ĩitam, a ti?I'm weak! But before I tell you why I should start from beginning. Ha! Nope I'm not teasing. Beginning meaning the blurb cause I simply love it. I'm that one person who always complains how blurbs reveal to much but this one is perfect it has enough info to get you interested in the book but still doesn't tell you anything at the same time. Now I'm coming to that me-weak part. Yeah I really am, cause it doesn't take much (for a book at least) to go under my
What Drew Me to This Book?Music. I love music. My music tastes range from heavy metal to classical and most points in-between. Hand me a book that features two extremes of the medium, throw in characters with opposite personalities and Im hooked. Synopsis taken from book:On odd days, Tripp Broody uses a school practice room to let loose on a borrowed guitar. Eyes closed, strumming that beat-up instrument, Tripp escapes to a world where only the music matters. On even days, Lyla Marks uses the
