A true 3.5. While I was intrigued, the characters were very archetypal and the writing was at times cheesy

It takes almost the entire book for the protagonist to find out what I knew by the second sentence of the blurb. That created a definite pacing problem.

The dual storyline, music and mystery of this book were engrossing. The author weaved in how fame can change people, how privilege impacts success and the role race played historically and in present day. Loved that he also had a neurodivergent main character and his authors note at the end was beautiful.
