A review by plainscaribou
The Music Shop by Rachel Joyce

4.0

A delightful summer-read-with-substance sort of love story, rolled up within an ode to music and neighborhood communities past. Loved the characters Joyce created within the little neighborhood shops. Her writing just made me smile. There was a bit of the hit-the-brakes moment toward the end of the novel, with a shift change in time and focus that was jarring at first, but even so, the ever so unlikely, mostly predictable ending was a good one all the same.
