A profoundly wistful tale about community, growth and overcoming trauma, with a quirky cast of lovable characters. Prepare to have your heartstrings pulled, hard. 🥹 As a record collector and music lover, this book really resonated with me!
Hoe is dit zo triest maar tegelijk ook mooi? Door dit boek heb ik zin om een platenspeler te kopen en vervolgens alle platen die genoemd worden erbij, maar ik weet niet of mijn portemonnee dat zo leuk zou vinden.
This was written beautifully but it was so awfully boring and went on forever and then ended in a flash mob which is my least favorite thing.
Not bad at all. And it comes with a great soundtrack that you can open on Spotify .. so you can listen while you read

What was the last book you read that you could picture so clearly in your mind, it was as though you were directing a film version in your head?
Y’all I could SEE this book. This novel is a mood. If it was an indie film that debuted at Cannes, it would win the audience favorite award. Anybody remember the early 00s movie AMELIE? Reading this book felt like watching AMELIE, despite it having almost nothing in common with AMELIE. It is sweet and sweeping and quirky and melancholy and funny and romantic and triumphant.
Also, you know how Pixar’s RATATOUILLE did the seemingly impossible by visually representing what it’s like to taste something? This book does the same thing by putting into words an individual’s response to music.
Basically I loved it. Must-read for anyone who loves music, romance, and offbeat ensemble stories.

This is a sweet little book about an unlikely community coming together and forming some beautiful relationships, despite all the ways each character has been hurt in the past. I was fascinated by the unusual way Frank describes music, it is undoubtedly the best part. The characters are well developed and endearing, and there were even parts that made me laugh out loud too. Without revealing too much, I have to say that the three stars instead of four came about because there is just too much time that passes between the climax and the conclusion. I understand why because of the events that unfold, but I just felt like there was too much wasted life in that time. Anyway, if you want a light, funny, easy book that makes you think about love, music, and relationship, this is it.
