Not as good as The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. It was a little drippy and sad.

Enjoyed the start then got bored, such good story ideas but the characters didn't come alive for me, interesting stories about classic music.

Very sweet story. Need a feel good book? Read this one.

Had high hopes, but couldn’t get into the story and was honestly powering through to finish.

The audiobook narrator was lovely.

Feeling generous at the beginning of the year so rounding up my 4.5 ⭐️ rating on this one.

Quirky characters, music (vinyl only!), community helping each other out and a lovely ending.

I read this book quickly, in one afternoon. Overall, I thought it was alright. My favorite parts were the descriptions of the music and the scenes with Frank and Peg. There were some lines throughout that I thought were lovely. Aside from that, I did think some of the characters were kind of cliche, and I for much of the book I was not convinced by the love story.
