Didn't really enjoy this. The balance between the two time lines wasn't great and I was hoping for more of the adult time line. Meche is horrible and there's no evidence she's grown at all as an adult and I don't understand how her friends can forgive her when she shows very little remorse, even twenty years later.
Some nice writing (as always from Moreno Garcia!), but I didn't enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed her more recent work.

I love a female protagonist who makes horrible decisions. I love magical realism. I love two people with a fucked up relationship that works for them. Great book.

Signal to Noise weaves together a love of music and the magic and misadventures of being young, dumb, and in love.
“Guys, I just want to remind you I have to be home by seven,” Daniela said. “I’m also not allowed to do any Satanic stuff.”
At times hilarious, this book reminded me of a goofy and more caring The Craft, as three friends form a magic circle and let lose some magic without realising the consequences.
But that's where the comparison ends. Signal to Noise confronts past hurts and broken families, the reconstruction of damaged relationships and finding peace with the past.
Moreno-Garcia again writes a fantastic unlikeable and prickly main character who you can't help but love.
Signal to Noise is another fantastic book from this author and I'm so glad that it's getting an updated version and a second chance.
Come for the music magic, stay for the healing of past hurts.
Thank you Rebellion, Solaria and NetGalley for the arc. All opinions are my own.

Childhood friends to lovers. Second chance romance. Found family. Flashback scenes. Magic, music, and morally grey main characters. I love this book so much.
