This is one of those books that starts slowly and you don't know where it is going. The writing style is different and you're trying to make a sense of it and then suddenly while reading, you realize the writing style is no more different. Your mind has adapted to it, the story has your attention and you're involved in it. And then you realize you're enjoying the journey the book has taken you on.The start was slow but the book got to me later. There's humor in it but it's not the laugh out loud one, it's of a different kind. I couldn't help but compare this book to my last humor book read - Manless in Montclair. Wait, don't go comparing them because they don't even have 1% in common. I was just amazed to see how two books can be completely different, have distinct writing styles and a very different kind of humor and yet both of them appeal to me in their own way. Great, no? Or maybe I am just overthinking things. Oh well, back to the book.Mind you, the book is not a humorous one. It has a serious subject on hand and deals with it really well. I liked the novel plot, the characters but what I loved most was the way this book had a hold on me - from very little in the beginning to my awe'd feelings towards the end. It just kind of stumped me.And one of my favorite things about this book apart from the subtle humor was the way relationships were depicted- good, bad and all else, how there was no insta love kind of feelings but so much more in the making. Just wow!Overall, I really liked this book and highly recommend it. It's only $0.99, so best time to grab it. And if you love music like me, the book's appeal will be even more.I look forward to the series and other books by Barbara.
