REVIEW: WHEN THE BEAT DROPS BY ANNA HECKER
Music is a topic that I always seem to enjoy in books, so I was not surprised that I enjoyed When the Beat Drops by Anna Hecker so much. This book is all about DJing, which I have never read before. The main character is clever and the writing is so descriptive, which added to my enjoyment. After reading this story, I would love to see more of its kind.

Off the Shelf: When the Beat Drops by Anna Hecker Review
Off the Shelf: When the Beat Drops by Anna Hecker Review
I was just looking for inspiration but I ended up finding a new favorite.
On my continuing quest to read more YA books with a central theme of music, I came across a wonderful and welcome suggestion from an author Iâve already given a lot of love to on this blog. When I posted about my review of Love Songs and Other Lieson my Instagram, I got a lovely comment from the author herself, JessicaâŚ
Seventeen-year-old Mira has always danced to her own beat. A music prodigy in a family of athletes, sheâd rather play trumpet than partyâand with her audition to a prestigious jazz conservatory just around the corner (and her two best friends at music camp without her), she plans to spend the summer focused on jazz and nothing else.
She only goes to the warehouse party in a last-ditch effort to bond with her older sister. Instead, she falls in love with dance music, DJingâŚand Derek, a gorgeous promoter who thinks he can make her a star. Suddenly trumpet practice and old friendships are taking a backseat to packed dance floors, sun-soaked music festivals, outsized personalities, and endless beats.
But when a devastating tragedy plunges her golden summer into darkness, Mira discovers just how little she knows about her new boyfriend, her old friends, and even her own sister. Music is what brought them togetherâŚbut will it also tear them apart?
Music is a topic that I always seem to enjoy in books, so I was not surprised that I enjoyed When the Beat Drops by Anna Hecker so much. This book is all about DJing, which I have never read before. The main character is clever and the writing is so descriptive, which added to my enjoyment. After reading this story, I would love to see more of its kind.
