I really appreciate how the music described parallels the story and what the characters are feeling. I also have a love for music and how it can impact different points throughout our lives, and can even heighten certain emotions and memories. I even found a playlist on Spotify (that's pretty accurate), so reading and listening to the songs mentioned created such a cinematic experience for me. 

I also felt the exchange between past and present in the chapters helps with the pacing of the story. I've also read other books by this author and it feels like she values setting up the story as best as possible, so it might feel a bit slow at first. Though when it picks up, there's no confusion about what's going on and it's hard not to breeze through and finish. 

Would love to see this story adapted into a film someday...I mean the soundtrack is pretty much set.
