Until my hold came in at the library, I hadn't realized that the author is a kind of 'renaissance man' singer-songwriter, actor, and musician. One of the things I loved most about this novel was that I got the smallest glimpse of what it might feel like to write music. The writing was also lyrical in parts, with good pacing and an intriguing plot. The ending gets a little hokey, but overall a lovely book. There were aspects that reminded my of The One in A Million Boy. If you enjoy a story of unlikely characters thrown together that inspire each other in unforeseen ways, I would highly recommend.
