On odd days, Tripp Broody uses a school practice room to let loose on a borrowed guitar. On even days, Lyla Marks uses the same practice room to her cello playing, which has already won her awards. Tripp thinks Lyla is perfect already: she’s a straight- A student, a superb musician, a school star. But when Lyla begins, leaving him notes between the strings of the guitar, their lives intersect in a way they never expected. Challenging each other to write songs, they began to connect, even though circumstances threaten to tear them apart. What began as a series of snippy notes blossoms into the sharing of secrets and dreams, and a foraging of unlikely friendship. Guitar Notes is a heartfelt and heartbreaking story about the power of music and the unexpected chores that draw us together.
