Description
"...a superb read for young adults and adult readers alike." (Readers' Favorite review by K.C. Finn)Super-guitarist and songwriter. The looks of a rock star. Josh, straight out of high school in Vancouver, has what it takes to make it. The only problem is that as an extreme introvert, he has only ever had the guts to play in front of his own brother. As Josh struggles to find a path for himself as a musician, not knowing how to deal with his social anxiety, an opportunity arises to move to Japan, his mother's native country. Josh gathers courage and plunges into the vibrant music scene in Tokyo's Shibuya district, where he meets Miki, a passionate singer with a spellbinding voice. Soon a powerful chemistry is born between them that catapults Josh into a thrilling trajectory he had never imagined. "Josh's story is very different, involving a wonderful exploration and assimilation of a new culture as he tries to find his place in the big bright world of Shibuya, and the descriptive techniques truly bring the colors, flavors, and sounds of this exciting place to life. Most of all, the emotional sensitivity of a young man with social anxiety who is trying to put himself out there in the world resonates through every experience that we live through Josh's eyes, and this is certain to endear him to readers and keep them captivated from beginning to end."
