It's the book you'd get if you bookified Taylor Swift's discography. I loved it!
Julia Whelan is a terrific narrator, as always. The writing and the story were fine - enjoyed listening, it just wasn't one of my favorite stories.

This book was not anywhere on my radar. Not sure I would choose to read it. I did not find it to be great.
This is a 2021 novel written by Allison Larkin. The main character is a 21 y/o from a dysfunctional family; her mother essentially abandoned her and her father has ignored her and replaced her with a new woman and family. April is 16 y/o failing at school, failing at life. After a fight she packs up and leaves her small town in search of herself. The themes of the book are loneliness, belonging, found family.

It would also be about self love. “Where you come from doesn’t dictate who you are”.… (more)
