I absolutely loved this book. Drake’s take on the meaning of grief, how it affects life and what we’re meant to do with it hit me hard. I’m obsessed with this author and I can’t wait to see what she does next. 

Violet is the new love of my life. Reformed party girl trying to atone for her sins and work her way out of the disaster her brother has created for their family is my new favorite kind of girl. She is such a genuine person who feels all her emotions so strongly, I ached when she expressed herself, I felt her words as strongly as she did. 

All the people she meets in Lyric are amazing. They’re funny and quirky and the perfect mix of side character while having their own lives off page. Liv Stone might be my second favorite character in the book, surprise surprise. She’s just so interesting and sweet and I can so see why Violet falls for her. 

All in all, the writing is gorgeous and the plot is heartbreaking in the best way. Such a great debut, can’t wait to see more from this author.
