Now is not the time for Carmen to fall in love. And Jeremy is hands-down the wrong guy for her to fall for. He is infuriating, arrogant, and the only person who can stand in the way of Carmen getting the one thing she wants most: to win the prestigious Guarneri competition. Carmen's whole life is violin, and until she met Jeremy, her whole focus was winning. But what if Jeremy isn't just hot...what if Jeremy is better?
Carmen knows that kissing Jeremy can't end well, but she just can't stay away. Nobody else understands her--and riles her up--like he does. Still, she can't trust him with her biggest secret: She is so desperate to win she takes anti-anxiety drugs to perform, and what started as an easy fix has become a hungry addiction. Carmen is sick of not feeling anything on stage and even more sick of always doing what she’s told, doing what's expected.
Sometimes, being on top just means you have a long way to fall....
Virtuosity has become one of my favorite books of the year. While you're reading everything just flows very nicely. Also, it's filled with many different twists and turns. And I'd like to thank my awesome friend Harmony for lending me the book!
Carmen is a professional violinist and nothing else in her life mattered.. until she met Jeremy King. But the problem is he's her biggest competition and she could lose everything she's worked for because of him. Throughout the book it's really hard to decided if you can really trust Jeremy. One second it seems like he's just trying to distract her from the competition so he can win. And then on the other hand, he kisses her and makes it seem like he really likes her. They try to be "friends" and have a good time but they can't help but talk about the competition which starts to become a problem. They both want to hate each other but for some reason can't. Maybe Carmen really should just listen to Diana and just stay away from Jeremy and focus. But she's sick of everyone telling her what to do and for once she just wants to do something for herself.
Nerves are a huge issue when it comes to Carmen's perfomance. Just one mistake could ruin everything. Instead of just dealing with it she takes Inderal, which is an anti-anxiety drug. It pretty much blocks every emotion while perfoming. Yes, it helps her do well and not mess up but it's not the same. Carmen doesn't feel the amazement of the music when she takes the Inderal and she doesn't really enjoy it anymore. And the stupid doctor told her it wasn't addictive but she's starting to take more and more.
Jeremy can be pretty mean sometimes but Carmen is his biggest competitor. Even though he's a huge jerk at times Carmen starts to fall for him. And Jeremy might be the best thing for her. But he could also just be using her so he could win the competition. Who can you really trust when everyone has their own hidden agenda?
Adios! (:
