Sing me to sleep

Sing Me To Sleep

By: Angela Morrison

 

True love can turn you into a whole new person. Even if you once were The Beast, you can become The Beauty. One boy can awaken the music inside of you and make your voice sing out. And then, one terrible secret can take it all away.


But as Beth soon discovers, no matter how painful love is, it's worth it. Because it's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all.

My Rating ****

“Sing me to sleep” was amazing. The author bases her story on that of a young member of the Amabile choir. It is one of the most powerful novels I have ever read in my life. Quite few times I tried to put the book down because it was too much to handle.

This was my first novel by Morrison and I cannot wait to read “Taken By Storm”. What I loved about this book is the way the author described the connection between Derek and Beth. It felt almost real. The way they longed for each other was beautiful. I really enjoyed the incorporation of music into the story line. It makes it so much more intense and relatable. I was head over hills for Derek! When you read the novel you will know why.

The supporting characters were well developed as well. I really liked Scott. He was so sweet and supportive. He proves that you can fall in love with someone, regardless of how they look. He is a true definition of friendship.

However, there were things that I disliked about this novel. Beth at times got on my nerves with her immature behavior and I hated the ending. I felt things happened too soon. For me the ending just undermined the whole point of the story.

Overall, be prepared for a passionate, intense and an emotional journey. Be sure to have a box of tissues by you. I don’t think I ever cried so much over a novel.
