YA
Seventeen-year-old Bea's new music teacher is young, attractive, and the first to nurture her prodigious piano talents. While preparing for a Juilliard audition, the two enter a sexual relationship. Their romance is thrilling, troubling, and more than a little salacious, but an intimate first-person voice focuses attention on Bea's authentically intense--and often shifting--perceptions of her first love.
