The Key to My Heart by Lia Louis
3.0
emotional reflective slow-paced

I was really interested by the premise of this book - someone leaves meaningful sheet music for Natalie Fincher, who is a widow working through losing her young husband.  I thought this book showed such a realistic side to grief and the non-linear journey that people often take after the loss of a loved one. I think this one feels more like realistic fiction and not as much romance.  There is some romance in it but it felt like it was more the sideline to the grief journey.  The friend group in this book did not pass my vibe check!  It was a pretty quick and easy read but it did feel a bit slow and slightly repetitive at times.  I really enjoyed Dear Emmie Blue and absolutely did not like Eight Perfect Hours so this one feel right in the middle for me.
