A bit disappointed by the plot, I feel like some things were unnecessary and meaningless. Still good either way but the most interesting characters could have been more developed

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

Always the Almost follows Miles as he experiences many changes in his life. He learns more about himself throughout, though not without a few bumps along the way.

I really love this book! It was a perfect coming of age story. Miles makes many mistakes but grows and learns from them. I loved the characters and their development. I know nothing about piano but I loved how it was used throughout the story. It added quite nicely. The cover is also adorable!

This is a really enjoyable and sweet book! I would definitely recommend you read it.

So fantastic. Loved the combo of queerness and a music related story. Definitely kept me captivated.

I think my heart grew 10x bigger reading this story. I adore Miles and Eric. And of course, Nina, the cookie bandit
