A review by kayelmc
Signal to Noise by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
emotional
slow-paced
4.5
This book perfectly captures what it feels like to grow up and have big feelings for which you don't have words and sometimes music is the only thing that will echo those feelings.
The story takes place in two different times, and I have to applaud Silvia for making the voices of the characters really distinct in those times. It's my opinion that adult authors sometimes belittle or mock teenagers in coming-of-age stories, but she really nailed the mood of those teenage moments.
I'm more than a decade beyond my teens, but this book really took me back to those times when I felt the power of music for giving a soundtrack to my loves, hates, friendships, and every dip and swell of that rollercoaster of growing up.
