tashaseegmiller 's review for:

The Music Shop by Rachel Joyce

5.0

---

While the premise of this book sounded interesting, I was not prepared for how quickly Joyce pulled me into this story, or how I couldn't stop thinking about the characters until all I wanted to do was read. As someone who also loves music, the references to many, many works that I love was engaging, for sure, but the way that characters describe well-known pieces, the way that characters share the way music helped them heal added to the magic already present through Frank's ability to hear which works others need to listen to. It was a brilliant reading experience and I will be recommending this book to all kinds of people.
