Many thanks to NetGalley, Avid Reader Press/Simon & Schuster, and Emily Gould for the opportunity to read and review this novel - great read! If you liked Daisy Jones and The Six, you'll love the gritty, behind the scenes music world of NYC presented here. But where this book shines is in the road not taken storyline. 4.5 stars.
Laura writes the perfect song when she is a teenager. It opens up a world of possibilities and dreams in her mind, dreams that fall away when she meets Dylan, a troubled musician in a band that is gaining popularity. She lets her dreams take a back seat. Her best friend, Callie, is more of a bright star though less talented and their relationship is not always smooth or equal.
I think less is said about the storyline in this book. I also think this would be a great book club read for mothers - so much emotion and feelings about motherhood in every stage in this book. I loved these characters, even when I didn't like them, and hope to read more about them in another book possibly?
