It was ok.

I read this book because i went to a book group.
I liked this book, probably because the main character Ally, is a musician, and I am also. I also really liked her because she has a great personality, and I also liked her friends Opal and Brad.
There was some parts where the story was a little boring though, like the second chapter.
But I liked most of the book.
Her father is a violinist and her mother is a singer, and the story starts with her never seeing them in concert, but wanting to.
There are several parts in this book that surprised me.
Okay, so. More book details. rolls up sleeves

Thirteen-year-old Ally goes to piano lessons at the Juilliard school, and her teacher, Miss Pringle, is very strict, and makes her practice for four hours a day. Ally has been playing piano since she was four, and she is thinking of quitting but she doesn't want to tell anyone, especially not her parents, especially not her mother.

So... The End.

at this point it's taken long enough that i realize if i wanna read more exciting things i should do that first

This is complicated because it took me months to get through, and then I restarted it knowing it up to halfway in. There are many racial stereotypes and other things that were unnecessary however there were also parts that were genuinely sweet. The second half of the series is definitely better than the first.
