Synopsis

Step-families are difficult enough to get your head around without having a world-famous creative genius for a stepdad...who is also crazy. But Cassie's mom loves Dino Cavalli, and Cassie has got used their chaotic lifestyle (she even feels a bit sorry for kids whose parents are still married and so just get the one Christmas). But when Cassie falls for Dino's protege at the same time as Dino's behaviour starts to spiral out of control, she begin to realize that the consequences for this step-family could be fairly disastrous...This is another brilliant teen read from Deb Caletti - you'll be laughing out loud one minute, and weeping the next.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Seventeen-year-old Cassie Morgan lives with a time bomb (a.k.a. her stepfather, Dino Cavalli). To the public, Dino is a world-renowned violin player and composer. To Cassie, he's an erratic, self-centered bully. And he's getting worse: He no longer sleeps, and he grows increasingly paranoid. Before, Cassie was angry. Now she is afraid.

Enter Ian Waters: a brilliant young violinist, and Dino's first-ever student. The minute Cassie lays eyes on Ian she knows she's doomed. Cassie thought she understood that love could bring pain, but this union will have consequences she could not have imagined.

In the end, only one thing becomes clear: In the world of insanity, nothing is sacred....
