This book is all about grief and struggling to find oneself after the death of a loved one. This is a book that I had to be in the right headspace to read and sometimes it was really hard.

It was fine, I guess. From the blurbs, I didn’t expect it to be as heavily focussed on survivors working their way through grief, but maybe that’s on me. “Music” very much is background rather than centric - much more a story of teenagers dealing with the loss of their friends.
