First 5 star read of 2025!
And honestly what a great one to start off with. I was intimidated by this book because I've been having trouble taking in lots of adversity in fiction just because real life feels like so much right now. Even when I'm reading about another marginalized group I'm not part of.
But while this book illustrates many hard truths and horrible aspects of our world, the core message is so deeply hopeful.
I never stopped rooting for Ray and my heart broke for him and I wished I could hear him play despite not much caring for classical music myself. But Ray made me want to love it. Dr. Steven's made me want to love it. Grandma Nora made me want to love it.
The mystery has just the right amount of twists, but that's not what us special about the story. It's the passion for the music and the beautiful relationships between people.
