Dozens and dozens of lesfic romances try to get it right, but often fail. That is why authors like Gun Brooke are so valuable to the genre.The earnest, heartfelt writing appeals to me, sometimes speaking to personal experience that cuts quick to one's very core:"During phys ed, when the other girls talked about their latest crush on a boy, I felt nothing. Instead, there was a girl.” Manon smiled as if she could see her. “Funny, I can’t even remember her name, but she was shy and really pretty. I liked to watch her play baske. "Four main characters, two romancesno problem." according to pappion. With four main characters & two romances to keep up with, I expected this might be a confusing read, but the author did a great job of writing in a way that left for little confusion. A great story, creative characters with interesting backgrounds & nice closure, although I do see ways for the author to revisit these characters any time she wants. The description of the music they created was done well enough to make me want to sneak a listen of the real thing. When advance purchase of the coming cd was offered in the book, I found myself looking for a preorder button to click. A worthwhile read, for sure.
