There You Are--#39 finished

This is a book that is very much about St Louis.  The author grew up in St Louis or at least St Louis county, probably in the U-City area.  The Delmar Loop with Vintage Vinyl as the main area of contact for the characters.  A lot of talk of music and albums--something I don't know that much about but doesn't go too crazy about it, I was able to read through it and get the meaning.  Good characters if sometimes a little to easy to figure out.  The main characters have moved away but are drawn back to St Louis while the Michael Brown protests are going on and with the threat of the music store closing.  A lot to do about race in St Louis, police, schools along with the music.  I enjoyed it and living here I have seen a lot of this too.

There is 1 WL for this book on PBS but since a St Louis book will probably keep at this point.  I did get this one through Thrift Books too instead of PBS.
