If you're looking for piano books that capture the emotional depth and theatrical flair of 'If/Then - A Musical', you're in for a treat! This musical blends contemporary storytelling with a rich, melodic score, and there are several piano books out there that offer a similar vibe. One standout is the sheet music collection for 'Next to Normal', which dives into complex human emotions with a rock-infused score that's both challenging and rewarding to play. The piano arrangements here are lush, with plenty of dynamic shifts to keep your fingers busy. Another great pick is 'The Last Five Years' piano/vocal book—Jason Robert Brown's compositions are packed with intricate harmonies and rhythmic energy, mirroring the conversational, intimate style of 'If/Then'.
For something a bit more classic but equally gripping, the 'Rent' piano selections might hit the spot. Jonathan Larson's music has that raw, heartfelt quality, and the piano arrangements really let the melodies shine. If you're drawn to the modern Broadway sound, 'Dear Evan Hansen' is another must-try; its piano parts are layered with syncopation and unexpected chord progressions that feel fresh yet deeply expressive. And don't overlook 'Waitress'—the piano score is full of warmth and whimsy, with Sara Bareilles' pop sensibility translating beautifully to the keys. Each of these books offers a unique way to explore storytelling through music, just like 'If/Then' does. I love how playing these pieces feels like stepping into the characters' shoes, even if it's just for a few minutes at the piano bench.

He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs.
But it was too late.
Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool, dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with.
That kiss should have never happened.
It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it.
Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make.
Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything.
PREVIEW:
“If you don’t want to kiss me then... let’s swim.”
“Yeah, sure.”
“Naked.”
“What?”
“I always wanted to try skinny dipping. And I really want to get out of these clothes.”
“What if someone catches you... me, both?”
“We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.”
His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute.
“Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...”
“Fine.”
His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”

His songs were better when he had a broken heart.
That sentence would change my life after my dream job was dished to me on a shiny, silver platter.
All I had to do?
Hurt Nash Pierce enough to get him writing good music again.
The pop icon’s songs were no longer the phenomena they used to be. His team needed another breakthrough album—like the first he’d penned, using his heartbreak as fuel.
The plan was simple: I’d go on tour with him as a backup dancer…and make him fall in love with me. I was hired to inspire—to become embedded into every lyric he wrote. Then, I was to set fire to it all—to destroy every feeling we hoped he’d develop for me.
It seemed simple enough. Easy, even.
I didn’t expect to be consumed myself—to see so much in the man displayed in the tabloids. I didn’t foresee falling for him. It didn’t occur to me that, while attempting to break his heart, I might just shatter my own.
Most of all, I never thought I’d fight so hard to hold on to a relationship that had always been founded on goodbye.

If you loved the quirky, music-driven chaos of 'Can't Stop Sheet Music,' you might vibe with 'Solo Leveling'—not for the plot, but for that same addictive rhythm it brings to action scenes. It's like the pages have their own soundtrack. Then there's 'Your Lie in April,' which digs deeper into the emotional wreckage of musicians, but with that same raw honesty. Both hit different, but they share that musical pulse.
For something lighter, 'Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad' is a manga about a band's rise, full of humor and heart. Or try 'Nodame Cantabile,' blending classical music with romantic comedy. It's less chaotic than 'Can't Stop Sheet Music,' but the love for music is just as infectious. Honestly, half the fun is seeing how different creators weave sound into storytelling.
If you enjoyed 'If Then' for its blend of speculative fiction and eerie corporate dystopia, you might love 'The Circle' by Dave Eggers. It nails that unsettling vibe of technology encroaching on humanity, but with a Silicon Valley twist. The way it critiques data-driven society feels eerily prescient—like watching a train wreck in slow motion but you can't look away.
Another hidden gem is 'The Warehouse' by Rob Hart. It's got that same tension between efficiency and individuality, wrapped in a thriller about a mega-corporation controlling every aspect of life. The pacing reminded me of 'If Then'—unrelenting, with moments that make you question your own complicity in modern systems.
