(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
Signal to Noise is a story that hooked me with magical musical spells. I love the idea of music having a magical power, the ability to create magic. But what ended up keeping my attention was Meche's relationship with her father and her friends. Signal to Noise is kicked off with the death of her father and so her story becomes about remembrance. How our parents fail us, how they are these imperfect beings both in death and alive. All the gaps between what we wanted and who they were, even after they're gone. Signal to Noise is also about power and what happens when someone we love goes down a road we can't follow.
