Publisher's summary
Be bold. Get seen. Be heard.
For 17-year-old Denver, music is everything. Writing, performing, and her ultimate goal: escaping her very small, very White hometown.
So, Denver is more than ready on the day she and her best friends Dali and Shak sing their way into the orbit of the biggest R&B star in the world, Sean "Mercury" Ellis. Merc gives them everything: parties, perks, wild nights - plus hours and hours in the recording studio. Even the painful sacrifices and the lies the girls have to tell are all worth it.
Until they're not.
Denver begins to realize that she's trapped in Merc's world, struggling to hold on to her own voice. As the dream turns into a nightmare, she must make a choice: lose her big break, or get broken.
Inspired by true events, Muted is a fearless exploration of the dark side of the music industry, the business of exploitation, how a girl's dreams can be used against her - and what it takes to fight back.
This audio edition features four brand-new original songs all written, composed, and performed by author and narrator Tami Charles!

They build and build into a façade of transparency and false truth that we present to the world...until it comes crashing down because of that one person who sees right into you. “Just one more time.” “It’s not even like that.” “I’m not tripping about it.” “I’m fine.

Story
The year is 1973. The Watergate hearings are in full swing. The Vietnam War is still raging. And homosexuality is still officially considered a mental illness. In the midst of these trying times is 16-year-old Jonathan Collins, a bullied, anxious, asthmatic kid, who aside from an alcoholic father and his sympathetic neighbor and friend Starla, is completely alone. To cope, Jonathan escapes to the safe haven of his imagination, where his hero David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and dead relatives, including his mother, guide him through the rough terrain of his life.

Loved It , Surprised by the ending.
I took grew up in a small town in Pa. In the Delaware Valley.
In the book the high school the characters attended was
Delaware Valley High.
At first I thought it was a book about a girl who made it as a singer.
Than realized it was sounding like a wel known story we all heard of.
A R&B singer abusing young girls.
Than the end had me shock didnt see it coming.
I really enjoyed.

Must listen! Blew me away.
Oh my gosh, you guys... this book! I listened to the audiobook of this one, which was read by the author. This book was written in verse, and you know I love a book written in verse. The audiobook performance was top freaking notch. It was read like poetry, and even included a few songs, and I was blown away.
Denver is a part of singing trio with her friends Dali and Shak. They have ambition baby, they want to make it big and they have the talent. Soon they are discovered and pulled into the orbit of hit maker Sean Mercury Ellis, aka Merc. They are on the verge of living their dream, but what are they being asked to give up? Their families, their freedom, their lives? Is it worth it?
This book gave me vibes of Elizabeth Acevedo with the lyrical writing, and the story had vibes of Tiffany D Jackson’s book Grown. It’s about starry eyed young girls desperate for opportunity, and predatory men ready to exploit that blind trust with the promise of superstardom. This is inspired by true events and shines a light on the dark side of the music industry.
This book is a whole vibe. An amazing and diverse cast of characters, some dark drama, and incredible writing. And if you listen to the audiobook you get some sweet tunes too!

Fairytale endings don’t exist
Well… that was a lot. I liked the idea of a book soundtrack.
The poetic way in which it was written is sometimes tedious to follow.
I applaud the author on taking a story that has been part of the headlines for years and end it in a way I wasn’t expecting.
I won’t read it again because of the heaviness and triggering aspects of the book but I would definitely recommend it.
