Not what I was suspecting but delightful nonetheless! Tia Williams’ writing is so beautiful and her characters are so rich 

Around the 50% mark, when the direction of the plot was revealed, it wasn’t difficult to see how the story would play out. But the beauty here was in the journey, not the twists. 

I am not generally a fan of insta-love, but Ezra and Ricki had enough of the star-crossed, fated feeling that I didn’t mind it as much as I normally would. There was still that undercurrent of pining and longing that I love most

This book is magical realism done well. I’m very interested to see where future books set in this world will go

I would give this 10 stars if I could. A strong contender for the top book of 2024.

A Love Song for Ricki Wilde felt like coming home. Ricki Wilde has been a wayward soul her entire life. When she goes against the grain of familial expectations, she encounters a kindred spirit who offers her the opportunity to open her business in New York. This move open her up to a world she never saw coming, including Ezra Walker. A man who she is destined fall for and who is destined to be her demise. It’s hard to put into words how this story made me feel. From the deep roots of her new found family to the culture and history we walked through with Ezra, this book is so perfectly layered. If you need something to make you FEEL… just read it.
