Publisher's Summary

From the award-winning, number one New York Times best-selling author whom USA Today calls a “master of the page-turner” comes the spectacular story of a woman’s complex quest to form a family. 

Every life has a soundtrack. All you have to do is listen. 

Music has set the tone for most of Zoe Baxter’s life. There’s the melody that reminds her of the summer she spent rubbing baby oil on her stomach in pursuit of the perfect tan. A dance beat that makes her think of using a fake ID to slip into a nightclub. A dirge that marked the years she spent trying to get pregnant. 

For better or for worse, music is the language of memory. It is also the language of love. 

In the aftermath of a series of personal tragedies, Zoe throws herself into her career as a music therapist. When an unexpected friendship slowly blossoms into love, she makes plans for a new life, but to her shock and inevitable rage, some people - even those she loves and trusts most - don’t want that to happen. 

Sing You Home is about identity, love, marriage, and parenthood. It’s about people wanting to do the right thing for the greater good, even as they work to fulfill their own personal desires and dreams. And it’s about what happens when the outside world brutally calls into question the very thing closest to our hearts: family.

Musical interludes between chapters made me cringe.

This was a good story, but honestly, the songs played between chapters were just horrible. I sped through them as quickly as possible as they we’re cringeworthy. Too bad, because I’m
Sure the lyrics were lovely. Left me not loving this story as an audiobook. As a result, I would NOT recommend this as an Audiable purchase.

What happened to/with Lucy?

I wish there was follow up on Lucy's situation! What was she dealing with? How was she involved in the accusations against Zoey? Did she end up ok? I didn't like the cadence of the male narrator's voice for Max. I found it annoying.

Disappointed

This could have been an amazing story of a relationship that succeeded against all odds. instead it almost reads like the impossible to believe princess fairy tales for kids. Even teenagers know that rebound relationships don't work, mostly when they end up is a marriage of 2 persons who hardly know each other. You could have done better, Jodi Picoult. You are way smarter than this.

Must listen to

Jodi Picoult does it again! This book is GREAT. The narrators bring this story to life so much that I was sad when it ended.

Another winner

Slow to start, and I did not enjoy the songs but once I got into the book I couldn’t stop listening.

Interesting topic

As a whole, I found the topics explored by the book interesting, and raised a lot of good questions. Also, the narrators made the story come alive and were pleasant to listen to. It was refreshing to be served an LGBT novel that wasn't all about sex or stereotypes, but I found it a little too flat, and the immense focus on the Bible, God and religion, even though I get why she's doing it, was a little off-putting for me personally. Still, it was an interesting story with a theme that's worthy of attention.

The singing ruins it!

If you can get past the terrible singing, which starts as soon as the book begins, then the book is okay. EVERY TIME the singing began I had to fast forward 3 minutes to avoid the terrible sound.

The Tears

This book had me bawling, multiple times. Suffering with infertility and loss, bringing such real emotions to the surface. The story is tragic, and beautiful. Worth the read!!

What about Lucy

I've liked other books from this author. wasn't crazy about this one though. I though it started strong but dragged along and had a bit of an abrupt and weak ending. And Lucy, the character we encounter over and over, remains a mystery.

Engaging and entertaining

For the most part, I enjoy reading this author's work. She has a depth in her novels in relation to social norms and policies that touches on controversial topics. This author is direct, firm and diplomatic within the creation of her characters and creates a solid plot to keep the readers interest.

I enjoyed the complexity of the relationships for the most part. At times, the drama components of her characters life situations kicks up a bit more than I feel is necessary but it is entertaining.

Narration method is adequate. I usually enjoy one narrator and this one has multiple narrators. It was not problematic, just added the drama piece.

amazing

I was hooked in the very beginning. I thought for sure I knew what would happen in the end, but several twists have me back and forth, changing my mind.

good book, terrible singing

Jodi is one of my favorite authors and I lived the story line but getting through the songs was just painful. she's definitely not a songwriter. but, I still would recommend this book. just fast forward the songs.

I love Jodi's books

This one I wasn't sure if I was going to like because of the format but once I started listening, I was hooked. What a beautiful love story in so many ways.

Unique!

I am so glad I listened to this book! The songs were beautiful! The story was true Jodi Picoult showing both sides and doing her research. The story was so good, I felt like I knew the characters!
