It is a diary-type format. But not as organized. It started with a note from a cello player to a guitar player to pick up and dispose of his trash because he just left it on the music stand. He responded with a snarky response of his own and the note passing took off.
He's a loner and she's stressed out. He finds a friend and she learns to chill. Before Lyla met Tripp her cello playing was mechanically excellent but had no soul. Tripp helps her. She helps him get better grades.
At first, I thought reading this "young adult" book was going to be a chore. It was the opposite. In fact, it was refreshing to read a book about love which had no sex. It's a tale of true friendship. The guitar diagrams were Greek to me but the song lyrics were good poetry. And at the end of the book is a scan icon which I scanned and was able to hear all the songs! Very different. Very clever. Very good!
At the meeting, we are going to meet the author. I'll tell you all about it, next week!
