Deep Cuts

What makes you think you're the one ... Eine Liebesgeschichte, die sich wie ein einzigartiger Song ins Gedächtnis brennt.Es ist Freitagabend in einer Studentenbar in Berkeley, Anfang der 2000er-Jahre. Hall & Oates läuft in der Jukebox, und Percy Marks kann wieder einmal nicht anders, als ihrer Leidenschaft nachzugeben, mit der sie ihr Umfeld seit ihrer Schulzeit nervt. Instinktiv nimmt sie den Song auseinander und lässt sich brillant über die feinsten Nuancen aus: Für sie ist Musik ein Lebensgefühl, das sie mit jeder Note und jedem Beat tief in sich spürt.Eine unwiderstehliche Geschichte über die große Liebe zwischen zwei Menschen - und die ebenso große Liebe zur Musik.Doch heute Abend ist etwas anders. Der Typ neben ihr am Tresen, Joe Morrow, ist fasziniert von Percys Leidenschaft für Musik. Schon am nächsten Tag bittet er sie, sich einen seiner selbst geschriebenen Songs vorspielen zu dürfen. Sofort wird ihr dreierlei klar: 1. Sie beobachtet einen aufstrebenden Star. 2. Sie kann seine Musik zu etwas Außergewöhnlichem machen. 3. Sie selbst wird immer außen vor bleiben. Dennoch stürzt sich Percy mit ganzer Kraft in die gemeinsame Arbeit. Sie verwandelt Joes Songs in wahre Hits. Doch ihre Musik trägt eine unterschwellige Spannung in sich - etwas Elektrisches, das Liebe immer näherkommt. Und dabei, fast unvermeidlich, auch Schmerz ...Ein mitreißender Coming-of-age-Roman über das Bedürfnis von jedem Menschen, geliebt zu werden und trotzdem den eigenen Weg zu finden. Bald auch ein großer Kinofilm mit Saoirse Ronan und Austin Butler in den Hauptrollen.'Holly Brickley wirbelt uns durch ein wahres Klangfeuerwerk.'

Beth O'Leary'Zart wie eine Ballade und unterhaltsam wie ein Popsong.' Coco Mellors 'Hinreißend.' Cosmopolitan'Ein absolut perfekter Roman [...] Voller Spannung, Poesie, Leidenschaft und einer Intensität, die Sie fesseln wird.' GLAMOUR
