This was a great read. It brought tears to my eyes mutiple times. It was a beautiful story about love and loss. I liked that not only was it a love story about family and a boy, it was also a love story about music. Now I am not a musician but I have a deep appreciation for music. I listen to it with my heart. What I listen to and resonate with from day to day will vary on what I am feeling and my mood at that particular time. I loved every person in this story! And that made it excruciating to read what was happening to all of them. My only complaint was that ending!!! Why?! It just ended....just like that. She makes a decision and BOOM...DONE! I get it, there is a book 2, but damn it, my library doesn't have it! Guess I'll be making a trip to the book store this weekend to buy it because I have to see what happens next.
