This book has given me a great appreciation for longer books (over 400 pages) that tell a whole story without breaking it up into pieces. Even though the book was one of the longest I've read in awhile, I still finished it in one day. I just couldn't put it down. It reminded me a lot of a musical version of Tarryn Fisher's Love me with Lies series which I also really enjoyed.The story isn't easy to read. Both of the main characters flip flop between moments of clarity and complete idiocy. Gregory has major OCD control issues. He's overly logical and thinks too much about everything. Savannah is the flip side to that coin. She's incredibly emotional and feels her way through life. I connected much more with Savannah's carefree attitude but I couldn't deny the magnetism of Gregory and his musical abilities.This was the fist book I've ever read about classical music and I really enjoyed the new storyline. The two authors do a great job of giving you the feeling that you're listening to music even when you're not. If it wasn't for how wrapped up on the book I was, I was tempted to go YouTube some of the songs they were playing as I was reading.Despite the many moments where I wanted to bang the two main characters heads together I still loved the novel. It was heart breaking and very vivid. The emotional twists and turns were very entertaining. I'm looking forward to reading more by both of these authors.
