"Music isn't just playing notes on a page. You've got to put your heart into it. I'm not saying lost control. I'm saying let what's happening inside you come out."

Okay, so. This one was really, really good. It deals with a lot of topics at the same time but does it successfully. I could really relate to the main character, or perhaps it was more my own middle grade self who could relate to her a lot. But either way, it was well-written, it made me both happy and sad and it was really hard not to care for the characters. Except Noel. Noel is a jerk.
