This was a soft pick for me. The story had a lot of potential but needed a bit more development for my tastes and the ending was rushed. I liked the characters a lot and that is always the best part of any book. 3 ⭐️

I enjoyed all the music industry insiderness and refs in this squeaky-clean romance from one of the creators of The Bangles. Lots of great lyrics and etc. as Easter eggs (even the title refs a fav Beatles song).
The romance part was fine 🤷🏻‍♀️

LeeRHarry I just opened up Litsy whilst listening to Manic Monday - freaky! Great song 😊 2mo

My Name Is Barbra | Barbra Streisand

I grew up listening to Babs, because my first favorite music was influenced by many hours spent with my first best friend, my Papa. This is as glorious as her incomparable voice. #mynameisbarbra #barbrastreisand #badasswomen #musician #actress #director #producer

Mehso-so

Another formulaic romance in which the female protagonist suffers from crippling self-doubt, feeling personally and professionally stuck; she meets a wonderful man, they fall instantly in love and have copious amounts of tremendously satisfying sex without ever really getting to know each other. The past comes back to bite them in the ass; there‘s a contrived breakup, a professional breakthrough, and the inevitable reconciliation. Cute but weak.

CSeydel Things I liked: the characters were all fun and likable; the music-industry setting was interesting; lots of literary references. 6mo
CSeydel But the minor characters seemed inconsistent and vaguely unnecessary. (Cynically: felt like a cheap way to diversify the cast.)

This may be me being dense, but the Big Problem from Jane‘s past never quite made sense to me, and her reaction to the Big Problem from Tom‘s past felt excessive and unnatural.

TheSpineView Good job for pushing to finish this book. 6mo
CSeydel @TheSpineView I shouldn‘t be so harsh; it was entertaining. It started out really promising but flagged a bit as the plot waded into the inevitable conflict and resolution. 6mo
TheSpineView @CSeydel We like what we like. 6mo

I cannot get into this and the only character I even remotely care about is Pippa, who isn't in it enough to help me. I think I'm going to release this back to the library and move on.

Tiffiney I couldn't finish it either... 6mo
bookandbedandtea @Tiffiney It's comforting to hear I'm not the only one! 6mo

This beautifully illustrated picture book tells the story of Willie Johnson and his work that revolutionized the religious music landscape. It is lyrically written. #PictureBook #DisabilitiesRep #Music #Religion
