One dream forms a band out of a gaggle of high
school girls who are practically strangers, but this one path that they embark
on will help these five girls find themselves and where they need to go in
life. The path they take is a difficult one with more temptations and stumbling
blocks than they expected, but mistakes are meant to be learned from and
miracles still find a way to open the right doors. Sometimes you just need to
listen to your heart and keep to that beat.
Honestly, I did not know what I was
getting into when I picked up Keeping the Beat (the summary of the book
was lacking), but I’m glad now that I read it. These five girls made a lot of
painful mistakes that were hard to read, but their courage to press forward
gives hope to the reader that good things can still come out of this hard life.
Overall, there was a good message.
HS – OPTIONAL.
