I really wanted the audio book to include the music but it didn't.
Nice story, although a little depressing. I wouldn't call it a love story.

Cute, easy, nothing revolutionary but def fun. And yay music, of course.

Loved this book about the healing power of music.

A decent little read, but one that I thought went off the rails a little in the final quarter. You'll enjoy this much more if you are a keen music fan (as I am).

The premise was cute, the characters were quirky, and all the music throughout was fun. The characters felt a bit scripted in my opinion, making the plot feel more engineered than organic. Not as touching as Harold Fry!
