Virgin sexpert violist composer Lacey and her two best friends, Evita (singer and I forget which instrument(s)) and Theo (cello) are planning to attend Berklee College of Music together. They submit their applications at the same moment. The "sexpert" thing comes from Lacey's mom (who was a teen when she gave birth to Lacey), who is an OB nurse and Lacey's having volunteered in the maternity ward. Lacey finds herself giving out advice about sex--from demonstrating how to put a condom on to emotional care. She's good at communicating about communicating, but kind of sucky at it herself, as we see when she develops a crush on Theo. For his part, Theo previously dated Evita, who is asexual (and bisexual and started the school's queer club), and is now seeing Lily Ann a violinist who is not Lacey's biggest fan. Lily Ann's damage could be because Lacey loves to compose syncopated music that violinist's hate to play...or because she sense's Lacey's crush.

There's a non-musical wrinkle for Lacey, too, when she realizes the miracle of childbirth begins to compete with the magic of music.

It's a sweet, quick read. I found everyone loving Theo annoying, probably because it's credible. I've been hung up on that guy, too.
