Not Another Love Song
by Julie Soto
It’s honestly been a while since I last enjoyed a romance this much! This was just so much fun, and even though I’d gone into this with high expectations because of some of my friends’ reviews, it still ended up exceeding all of them.
I’ve read books, and even romance books, about musicians before, but I think this is just one of the best examples of using music within a story to its full potential. It felt like it paralleled and mirrored the romance itself so beautifully, and it added this whole extra dimension to the story as a whole. There was so much passion in how both MCs interacted with and felt about music, and it ended up bleeding into their passion for each other as well. The tension was already fantastic, but whenever music was added to the scenes, it was somehow even further heightened!
My only small issue with this book was the pacing near the end, as I always get frustrated when the third-act break-up occurs very close to the end and it feels like there isn’t a proper amount of time for a full resolution. This often negatively affects my lasting memories of the book, though this wasn’t the case at all this time! It’s been a bit since I’ve finished now, and I’ve honestly only remembered the good parts.
Overall, this book was so much fun and I cannot wait to try more from this author!
