Made me nostalgic for my own Beatles obsession in high school.

As a kid who grew up playing her parents' Beatles vinyl, I felt a deep connection to this book. Lovely artwork and interesting characters too.

I received an advance digital copy of this via NetGalley.
This graphic novel is full of family, friendships, community, the discovery of the The Beatles’ music and all the love and angst that goes with all of them.
Lucy discovers her parents’ vinyl collection of Beatles music and begins a journey into forming a band with her friends. Friendships are tested.
We follow the relationships with her dad, her mum (who travels the world), her beloved grandmother who is going through chemo, her friends and others in the town. Mr Franklin, who sits on a park bench philosophising, is a font of lyrics for Lucy in her song writing efforts.
An enjoyable story with a musical background familiar to many.

When I saw this book at my local library I HAD to pick it up. I've grown up with the Beatles so I thought this graphic novel would be perfect for me. I was right it was so cute and the illustrations are the cutest. This book goes into family past Overall I really enjoyed it!
