Music from Another World by Robin Talley
4.0

Actual rating: 3.75/5
This was a cute, quick read about LGBT rights and struggles, set in the 1970's.

I don't really like historical fiction (I know the 70's wasn't THAT far away, but it was technically last century AND last millennium...sooo....) but this was really good, and also a time in history that was incredibly important and liberating for the LGBT community, especially in America.

The characters were likable, and I was with them all the way. The writing was emotional where it needed to be and it had a solid flow all the way through.

I took some stars off because it got a *touch* too repetitive at times and it was a bit predictable in the way that makes you wanna shout "we know, just get on with it!" at the characters.

But all in all, a really cute, sweet read.
