Beautifully written and quite poignant, even though it's on the weepy side. I'm going to add Mia's family to the very short list of fictitious families I wish I was born into (the other family being the Murry's from the A Wrinkle in Time books). I rather enjoyed the musical aspects of the book, (Mia, the protagonist, is a classical cellist, her parents are former punk rockers, and her boyfriend is a rock guitarist) and the emphasis of the importance and transcendence of music.
