Interesting structure that I really enjoyed even though I consumed music from another world as an audiobook.I still really enjoyed the structure it was something new that was good executed.The characters were lovable and their storylines were interesting,and sad.But that’s why we’re here isn’t it.

Sharon’s coming to terms with her sexuality,and Tammy’s struggle with being her true self around other people were two of the many important and intense journals that the characters tried to defied in this book.That are really important topics we need to thematic more.Not just that but somehow for me the fact that Tammy wrote Harvey Milk in her letters that were not addressed to Sharon is really emotional.Because I am sure there are many people that can relate to Tammy but also to Sharon.On a side note I was really rotating for Evelyn and Mitch to reveal themselves as a couple,but yk we can’t have everything.

Also really interesting point of view of two teenagers in that time.How it affected their lives and how they tried to deal with it.Besides that this book has some really great quotes that’s why I think I will buy a physical copy and come back.I recommend Music from another world to everyone. :)

This was a very intense, tough read - there was a lot of homophobia, and seeing people be <i> happy </i> about gay people losing their rights was definitely not easy for me. But it was still a beautiful book! I kinda liked the format; it's an epistolary novel, so it's told completely in letters and also diary entries. What I appreciated was that the two main characters, Tammy and Sharon, put their thoughts down differently - Tammy wrote letters to Harvey Milk, Sharon wrote in her diaries -, which helped me to always be aware of who was talking. The only thing I wasn't that big a fan of was the romance. While it was sweet, it also came a little bit out of nowhere.
