Music is an important part of my life, but this book was so boring. The portions where Phillips was trying to communicate how music can transport us didn't workfor me. Julian is a very unlikable protagonist. So unlikable that I found it impossible to empathize with him even though he'd lost a child. The infatuation between him and Cait bordered on stalkerish, which made me really uncomfortable, and then they never even MEET. Should've bailed. Gah!
