This book is musical, incredible, and unique. I highly recommend the audiobook version because you can actually hear the music. It tugged at my heartstrings all throughout the book as I traveled along with the characters on their heartbreakingly believable and sad life journeys. But they all get well-deserved happy endings. I almost stopped listening throughout the beginning and middle of the book because it got so sad but it pulled me in and I persevered and the ending was well worth traveling along their life journeys.
