minli 's review for:
Dissonance
by Erica O'Rourke
I picked up this book for one word in the blurb - multiverse. That, and the fact that the cover is gorgeous.
"Every choice we make is both a sacrifice and an opportunity."
It has always blown my mind to think that every time we make a choice, there could be an alternate you living the results of the other choice, or choices. The take on the multiverse was interesting, using music and frequencies, and those not in the "Key World" being Echoes. I felt myself getting lost with the plotline at times, but it came together at the end, with a somewhat cliffhanger.
The YA romance aspect of this book was cliché - strong-minded girl protagonist, popular jock love interest, equally popular and slightly snarky ex-girlfriend of the love interest, and a boy best friend who happens to be in love with the protagonist.
I liked the use of the musical terminology, but it took some getting used to. I found myself frequently having to revisit pages or the short chapter introductions to remind myself of the definitions. But overall, I enjoyed the book and I look forward to reading the sequel.
