**Originally written for Book Bliss book blog. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased and honest review**Review: 4 starsGeneral: This was a good coming of age novel that took place at a slightly older age which made it stand apart. I loved that this book was a solid contemporary piece and the music element was original and something that was really easy to grab onto as a reader also it seemed, for Harp when her world began the subtle changes that happen when you grow up. This book had a tremendous focus on the mother/child relationship and it was the driving force between so much of what became of Harp and the actions she chose. I think there was an interesting split of attention in the novel between Harp and Conner and Harp and her mother. I almost wish there had been more of a mix of the topics because they felt a little separate but it still worked for the book. Harp's reactions were realistic and viable for an 18 year old who's given some of the blows she is.
