    <body><![CDATA[When I think of “Chick Lit,” I don’t think of books by women but rather I think romance and fluff.  Sure, this novel is as easy to read as tepid butter is when spread on hot toast in summer, but it’s not fluff.  It’s about the every day, complicated, real life of family.  It’s about how ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11510332">more...</a>]]></body>

It can be anything from <em>Immittet Angelus</em> to the theme from <em>Sesame Street</em>.  No wait.  That's a bad example.  There's actually a musical relationship between those two.

    <body><![CDATA[The plot of the story was very interesting.  Especially for those that believe in music for the soul and that music expresses things that words sometimes can't.  This book also took place roughly in the 1980's, so I definitely felt nostalgic at some points.  My only qualms with this book is that the...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50133492">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A mostly enjoyable read - there is a distinctly Sarah Dessen like emotional pull to the book that at times feels manipulative, and I found the ending a bit too pat. I think this was the author's first novel, however, and I would definitely watch for other books that maybe show a bit more growth. ]]></body>
