Noteworthy
by Riley Redgate
I was kindly allowed to read this wonderful thing early by Netgalley.
This book is so good I have already pre-ordered the physical copy even though I have the eARC file.
As with most books I truly love, I don't even know where to start. What is coherent reviewing, AMIRITE?
I requested this book because it features a girl named Jordan (I'm Jordyn, in case you aren't aware) who is an Alto 2, the deepest female vocal range in music (I also fall into this category). Low female voices are both rare and not particularly well utilized in theatre, and Jordan is desperate to find a place her voice will be valued. So, obviously, she pretends to be a boy and auditions for a coveted spot in a male A Capella group. Because, what else?
1. This book is hilarious. Dry humor is my life.
2. SO much diversity. Different cultures, sexualities, religions, mental illnesses and physical disabilities are all accounted for in a completely realistic way because hello, doesn't that sound like the people in your life?
3. MUUUSIIIIC. As a self-proclaimed theatre nerd, I was a tiny bit concerned that maybe the author didn't actually know anything about music and was just riding the Pitch Perfect wave but I WAS SO WRONG. The author herself was a part of an A Capella group in college, so no worries fellow music nerds.
4. The slowest of slow burning romances.
5. Dynamic male teenagers.
6. Moments of gorgeous clarity.
7. ALL THE THINGS.
8. Why haven't you decided to read it and abandoned this review yet?!?
