Going into the story I knew that it was a story written in verse about a girl looking to make her dream come true in the music industry. Unclick that mute button, be loud as hell, and recognize that there’s power in sharing your truth-and it starts with protecting and believing Black women and girls.
Tami Charles wrote Muted from a place of experience as a member of a 1990s R&B singing group. She realizes it’s up to her to raise her voice, mute the monster, and reclaim power for both her and her friends. Soon, Merc’s dark side brings Denver and all her dreams crashing down.
At first, the parties, the perks, and the studio time are all worth it. When the girls catch the attention of R&B legend Sean “Mercury” Ellis, Denver sees the opportunity she’s been waiting for-and jumps. Seventeen-year-old Denver Lafleur and her best friends, Shak and Dali, dream of becoming R&B stars. Set against the backdrop of the music industry, Muted by New York Times bestselling author Tami Charles is a powerhouse novel and story of innocence lost and young women who struggle to regain their voices- called a “groundbreaking tome” by Entertainment Weekly. Thank you so much to Terminal Tours and the author for allowing me to read this book!Īn unputdownable, timely, must-read novel of ambition, music, and exploitation that explores how a Black girl’s dreams can be used against her, and what it takes to fight back. Today I am so excited to be a part of the blog tour for Muted by Tami Charles.
