Hmm this was okay - the musical analysis was a bit annoying and not my style.

I tried but found the over-analyzing of music to be too tedious to continue.

I picked up this book quite randomly and I'm absolutely in love with it! 
I wish my 16 year old self could've read this because she would've been OBSESSED. Percy is SO COOL, she is a lyrical genius, has a cool ass music blog and works at a trendsetter company, and she still isn't pretentious. A marvellous coming of age, which feels complex and well-rounded. We follow Percy throughout 8 years of her life, from her writing course at Berkeley in 2000 to the financial crisis of 2008, and I find it really impressive that despite the long time span the book does not miss a beat - we get enough space in order to witness authentic and meaningful character development and it just does not get boring. 
The love story brings another layer to Percy's story but she has a life of her own as well, which does not always revolve around romance, which I really appreciate.The dynamic between characters never feels hollow and is wonderfully embedded in music. Which this book is all about! You learn so much about music and lyrics, it was amazing to read along while listening to the book's playlist.
