Not at all what I expected. First part was going well, then it took a dark turn, but by then you are already committed and have to finishe the journey.

I liked this story and enjoyed the idea of "song reading". It's not often that I run across a whole new idea like that, and the fact that those songs that get stuck in our minds might actually mean something was a fun concept.

Boy,this one really sucked me in. I read it in just a few hours. A character study of a dysfunctional family, the writing was very well done.

Interesting contemporary story. Set in the early 1980s. Chocked full of references to songs. Written from the younger sister's point of view, this interesting story deals with the concept of family. A less than expected turn at the end but the story wrapped up well. Worth the sleep I didn't get when I finished it late in the night.
