This is a truly lovely story about family, old age and never giving up on your dreams. I really enjoyed the interactions between George and his Granddaughter, Tara, but felt that this was more of a story on the whole family rather than the pair of them as the blurb describes. That being said I enjoyed the whole family, all characters were well written and I loved that they were a realistic portrayal rather than a romanticised perfect family who could do no wrong. The only character flaw I found was that Tara's character did come across as a little young for the age she was written (which 18 year-old do you know who would be caught dead reading a magazine called 'Teen Tips").

The musical element was a great addition to the book as really gave a feel of George's era and his sense of character, I may have to make myself a new playlist!
