A Voice in the Distance

This is the second book by Tabitha Suzuma about Flynn Laukonen, the Bipolar pianist who starred in A Note of Madness. After Jennah and Flynn's relationship FINALLY takes off at the end of the first book, Suzuma picks it up again years later. Flynn has successfully been on medication for 2 years, however when we meet them again it's all falling apart. Flynn is sinking back into a routine of mania and depression, and the question on every readers lips is: will loving Jennah be enough to save him?

Of course, we all want her to be. But she has her own life, her own dreams. So she is left with a choice- can she put up with a life of walking on eggshells to be with the boy she loved and who might take drastic action if she leaves, or would she rather be free to decide her own future.

Suzuma writes this amazingly different novel in an amazingly different way. By splitting the narrative she shows both Flynn and Jennah's sides as they struggle to cope with an illness that rules the life of Flynn and those who care about him.
