I would like my heart back since Jessica clearly stole it in this one.

Two things I love: music and books. Put them together and I AM IN LOVE. With Love Songs & Other Lies.

I don’t know what I was expecting but this book blew whatever that was out of the park. I can’t believe how invested I became in the characters and their journeys, both set in the present and not-too-distant past. I found myself cheering for Vee and Cam the whole way through. Told through alternating POV, we get to know Vee and Cam, getting peeks inside the parts of each other that they can’t yet see of themselves. I was so endeared to both and all of the characters around them.

I also appreciate that it’s set a little later than the usual YA, something that seems to be a trend this year. The transition after high school and into adulthood is an important part of being a young adult! Add in a reality TV show and the drama of a tour bus and this is sure to be a hit.

Highly recommend this on audio, with two narrators alternating.
