Wild Roses

                                             

           So I recently read a very good book that I stumbled upon called Wild Roses by Deb Calleti. The plot was very interesting and the characters intrigued me. Read the summary I wrote and tell me what you think!

           17 year old Cassie lives with her mother and step-father. After her mother and father divorced, her mother soon re-married a renowned violinist by the name of Dino Cavalli. Dino is a true genius when it comes to playing and composing and is very dedicated to this form of art. As the day of his important concert approaches, Dino stops taking his pills, as he claims they stop him from composing. Although already on the brink of genius into insanity, Dino everyday becomes more paranoid, disturbed, and suspicious. Cassie dealt not only with a problematic step-father, but also with her longing father, stalker of a friend, and unreachable crush Ian, a student of Dino's. Follow Cassie on her roller coaster life as she realizes the true depths of love and genius.

           I enjoyed reading this book very much because of it's great plot, characters, and emotions. Cassie, Ian, Dino were only some of the important characters that had their strong feelings showed throughout the story. Cassie was a supportive family member and friend, but also realized it was her life and she could make her own decisions. Ian was determined to achieve his spot in a prestigious college for music. Dino showed although he had hardships in his life, he could accomplish great things. And the book was very well written, which wouldn't let me put it down and start something else. So in my opinion, I think this book is definitely worth the read!
