Allegra Katz is a blooming pianist studying at the famous school of music: Julliard. Unfortunately, not everything is what it's cracked up to be. Ally has no time to do anything but schoolwork and piano. She has been playing since she was four, but now all she wants to do is break free but she's never known any other way. With the pressure building, she has to decide what music really means to her, but can she do it? This book is written in four "movements". It sort of takes you through a year in the life of a stressed high schooler. I myself am a pianist so I understand that between piano, school, and, in my case, sports, you really don't have as much time as you might like.
