Callihan is awesomely talented. Here she totally rewrites the cliched rock star romance here, making Killian and Liberty into fresh and fascinating characters. From the very beginning they have a complicated relationship so their shifts deeper and deeper into intimacy feel earned and real. Also, just by the way, the whole book felt like a labor of love for music itself: she paid a lot of attention to the music the couple made and wrote some great scenes about how they also communicated with each other through music. An all around great read-- and a book I actually *bought* and went on to the next one instantly....
