This is such a deep emotional book. I included it in my rereads this month because it sort of has a romance at the centre of it but do not be mistaken: this is not a fluffy happy romance story. It is primarily my growing favorite version of historical fic, focused on music and life in the 60/70/80s, this one mainly 70s, (cuz stories set when my parents were young are now historical fic? Weird). The story of Jane Quinn's musical rise to fame and everything else is something I have to slow down to savor. In this reread I even caught two details I didn't notice the first time (or remember by now): one of the side characters was from here in Saskatoon (which, if I'd thought about it would have known it was because the author loves Joni Mitchell, who was also from here), and the grandma's called Elsie throughout but a few times her full name, Lila Charlotte, is used and I finally realized at the end that she is Elsie because LC. It may not be a romance, but it's definitely a story about love.
