This was a great queer coming-of-age story, but what made it more interesting was the time it was situated in and how music, especially punk music, played a big role in helping the main characters in some way (like to express their anger, rebel against their parents' rules/beliefs, meet other queer people and even realize they might be queer). I sometimes paused the audiobook to listen to some of the artists that were mentioned and I would recommend that, as it enhanced my reading experience a lot!

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. :)
