A sweet, slightly sad (bot not tear tsunami sad) tale about how friendship between the two most unlikely people blossoms thanks to music and rhythm.
The story is very well paced, funny where it needed to be, sad where it needed to be, irritating where it needed to be (if there is such a thing), and an overall light read which will leave you smiling and awing.
One thing I did miss from the book was suspense. I new it was a new approach having the two "note givers" know who they where since the beginning, but I really think that if they hadn't known who they where the story would have been even more exiting, and more of a hit.
My favorite aspect of the book was the friendship. No romance, no kissing, no cheesy lines, no insta love, just good old fashioned friendship.
I really related to Lyla because on the outside she resembled the perfect poster teen for perfection and achievement, and not to mention protege cello player, but on the inside its a whole different story. She feels pressure by her friends and family to do thing her heart has no desire for, her teachers expect the universe from her, and she doesn't really know who she is or what she wants because her entire life has been lived pretending.
I could also relate to Tripp in the sense that he was extremely passionate about his music, his guitar, and more importantly his loved ones. I realize that his loved ones might be hard to believe by the way that he sometimes refers to his mom (but who doesn't do that every once in a while?) but I am referring to the way he cares about his friend Lyla. You can clearly see that when the plot twist hits ( no spoilers) Tripp does everything he possibly can to help Lyla even though her friends and especially her dad tries to stop him.
Guitar notes is an adorable book that will leave you wishing you played the guitar and wondering about what makes you happy.
