This Song Is (Not) for You by Laura Nowlin
3.0

This Song is (Not) For You was an interesting read. I loved Laura Nowlin’s book If He Had Been With Me so the second I knew she had another book on the way, I added it to my to read bookshelf.

The story focuses on three main characters. You have Ramona and Sam who are best friends and together they have a band. The added layer of complexity to their friendship is that Ramona has had a crush on Sam from the moment they met and Sam feels the same but neither of them has ever said anything to the other for fear that it would impact their friendship in a negative way.

When they go to audition for an art’s college, Ramona finds herself talking to Tom who just might be the person their band was missing. As he becomes integrated into Ramona and Sam’s friendship, Ramona finds herself attracted to Tom and Sam. What I liked about this book was the friendship these characters develop and the way they all decide that they won’t worry about what society will think about their relationships.

Overall I found this to be an interesting story with solid characters. If you are looking for something that has a focus on friendship, love, and music, consider checking this one out.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy!
