About 70% thru this book, I cried and felt like if I could just scratch my skin off my body could expand and the feeling inside would fit. I can only say that this book is worth every emotion it pulls from you. It’s so well written and paints the pictures of their lives perfectly. I found the following to be so true.
“When things get hard, you don’t run away, and you don’t give up. You plant two feet into the ground, remember the roots you’ve grown, the life and love you’ve nurtured, and you fight.”
“When things get hard, you don’t run away, and you don’t give up. You plant two feet into the ground, remember the roots you’ve grown, the life and love you’ve nurtured, and you fight.”
The writing is little weird. It was the same when I read the savage and the swan. While I enjoyed the storyline from that book and this one, I found I get never really get fully into it. The writing would confuse me and distract me from getting into the book completely.

Okay, you've been warned. This could have easily been a 5 star rating for me. I found myself binge reading it and getting so caught up in the story that I didn't realize it was 5 am. The characters and plot have a way of crawling inside you. Then the one thing that could ruin my buzz occured. The main character got pregnant. That's where I had to stop. I'm sure this won't be a turn off for most women and if that's the case for you, I hope you enjoy this book to the end. I'm just not into the whole baby/kid thing. I'm 30 and married, but it's never been my thing. It's an instant book killer for me. That being said, I had to give it 3 stars for how much I initially loved it and if anyone could suggest any books similar to this without pregnancy, you'd be my hero.

I knew going into this story it would be full of angst, but OH MY GOD. I can’t even begin to describe my love for this story. THIS BOOK DESERVES A MILLION STARS.
Stevie Sandrine meets her first love as a teenager. Everett Taylor is the new kid in town, he is the new mysterious neighbor and quickly becomes best friends and eventually bandmates with her brother, Hendrix. Stevie believes Everett is her soulmate, her one love in life, but she is left heartbroken. She learns to live her life, that maybe things with Everett just aren’t meant to be. In college she meets her second love, baseball player Aiden Prince. The complete opposite of Everett. She loves both men, but which one will be her forever?
Serenading Heartbreak was emotional, it was beautiful and I couldn’t get enough of this story of these characters, of their relationship. This book will WRECK YOU but it will also mend your heart, only to break it all over again. I felt the pain Stevie did. My heart broke for her, but despite the pain she still managed to come out on top.
I know that not everyone is a fan of love triangles in books, and yes that is a major part of this story, but it is beautiful, it is emotional and honestly, you can’t help but fall in love with both Everett and Aiden for many different reasons. Though, there were many, many times I wanted to slap them both!
Serenading Heartbreak is one of my top books of 2019. It is a MUST READ. Seriously, pick up this book ASAP!

Stop reading if you don’t want spoilers of the ending!
Aiden deserved better. That’s it. That’s the review. The ending of this book was easy to guess from the beginning but I had hope that it would end differently.

It's no surprise that this book was BEYOND amazing. I'm still trying to convey all my thoughts right now. I'll have to come back later to add them, but right now, READ THIS BOOK.
Heartbreakingly beautiful, written to soul perfection♥️
What an incredible thing it is to fall in love, and be loved. This story is one to truly make you appreciate the power of love, friendship and family.
Stevie found this twice in her young life and the war in her heart, combined with the pain she endured had my heart soaring then splintering into broken shards of glass- gahhhhh my tattered heart survived and I’m a blubbering mess.
I’m so so freakin happy not just for Stevie but for Everett, this broken tortured and lost Boy; for Aiden, I could easily fall for his sweet charm too... I just love HEAs and damn my own heart was so conflicted I didn’t know what I truly wanted myself.
I especially loved the lyrics to Everett’s songs. Serenading Heartbreakis such a fitting title for this ALL THE FEELS read.
Ella Fields delivers yet again. Beautifully heartbreaking written to heart and soul perfection ♥️
5 HEART-FILLED STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I hate myself for reading this book. I hate that I didn’t listen to my brain and yet again, went with what my heart wanted. I’ve told myself countless times “VANESSA YOU’VE ALREADY ESTABLISHED THAT YOU DON’T DO LOVE TRIANGLES! YOU F****ING HATE THEM!” So, if I know that, why did I read this book? Why in the hell would I put myself through this again? I mean, am I a masochist, do I really enjoy pain that much to go through this again? I guess I do, but that’s not the real answer. The real answer is, Ella Fields. If it was any other author I don’t think I could do it, but I completely trust Ella. I trust that even though she’ll obliterate my heart to smithereens—in the end by some grace that I don’t know how, I’ll still come out whole. And let’s get one thing straight, I didn’t hate this book, I hate what it did to my heart.
What’s it like to love two men at the same time? Honestly? It’s excruciating having your heart split through the middle not knowing when or if it’ll ever be whole. And knowing damn well that neither men are fully being loved the way they’re supposed to be is just gut wrenching and so unfair. How do I know? Because I’ve lived it and know firsthand what Stevie was going through. She loves these two men so fiercely and deep. Stevie doesn’t have it easy, obviously. How can she possibly choose when her heart is torn in two?
The two men in this book destroyed me. They took what I knew and turned it upside down. I couldn’t think straight, I was so unbelievably confused. After the first guy was introduced I thought there was no question he’d have my heart, but I was so wrong. And along comes the second guy and oh boy, I was so lost. My feelings were all over the place. How could I possibly be this all out of sorts and not know who I like better? After getting a feel for both guys I for sure thought I’d know who was the better option, but I didn’t know a damn thing. There’s usually a point where one of the guys does something that makes me hate them and that’s where I definitively know what side I’m on and who I want the heroine with. But that moment never came. My heart couldn’t choose and I hated it. I hated that I loved them both because I knew in the end one of them would be heartbroken and I didn’t want that for him. I didn’t want him to hurt—I wanted him to have happiness so bad because he freaking deserved it! Unlike Stevie, I couldn’t choose—I wish I had two hearts so both guys can have one each, that way they’d both be fully loved. I’m not on this side or that side, I’m on both sides. And I don’t care, in the end I choose both men. *drops mic*
Serenading Heartbreak delivered what I expected from Ella Fields. Angst galore, pain, endless heartache, love and hope. Your heartstrings will pull so far they’ll be on the verge of tearing. Tears will be shed, reading device will in fact be thrown many times and fists will be clenched. This story is everything raw and painful and it destroyed me in every way. Simply put, Serenading Heartbreak is everything poignant, riveting, bittersweet and beautiful. A masterpiece.
Definitely recommend!
