The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto

This book was so, so good. So good. It’s one of those books that leaves you feeling really good when you finish it. It was definitely a change of pace as I’ve been reading so many thrillers. The plot centers around a famous musician (Frankie Presto) who dies on stage. The story is narrated mostly by “Music” (yes, the gift of Music, personified…) as well as the other people in Frankie’s life (agents, managers, even modern day celebs you may recognize.. like Ingrid Michaelson). The story takes you through Frankie’s childhood + later years, from birth all the way to his death. The author, Mitch Abom (he wrote Tuesdays with Morrie) is one of my faves when it comes to heartfelt, sweet novels. Everything in the story is connected, and I found myself completely enthralled with it! I really, really loved this one.
