Review: Full Tilt (Full Tilt Duet Book 1) by Emma Scott

Full Tilt by Emma Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stunningly Beautifully Heartbreaking

This is one of the most heart rending books I’ve read in a very long time. It’s beautiful and hard to read at the same time. It’s the story of a guitarist in a rock band, on the verge of making it big, who is spiralling out of control.

Kacey is 22, beautiful and talented, and a complete mess. She’s drinking too much, sleeping with men, whilst too drunk to choose carefully and then forgetting her own successes in a blur of alcohol. One night after a concert she gets completely out of control and trashes a green room. The bodyguard rescues her and dumps her in the back of the limo.

Jonah is 26 and an artist, who works in glass. He’s got a massive gallery showing coming up in a few months and he’s working hard to stay on schedule. He works part time as a limo driver, but lives for his art. His life has become stale and static, safely contained in his ‘routine’. The drunk rockstar dumped in the back of his limo is about to stir him to life.

This story was unexpected. It was filled with moments of joy and dark moments of pain. Love and friendship filled the pages and simple instances of happiness spilled over. Woven through the joy is the bitter sting of loss, abandonment and confusion, making the beauty more sweet and the pain more acute.

This is a beautiful book, but you will cry. Be warned.
