Joni is a songwriter on the rise—one of her songs just hit number one. While out watching it performed live, she crosses paths (and lips) with Sasha, a famous musician she immediately writes off as an arrogant jerk.

But Joni’s been stuck. Since learning her mum has dementia, the music has stopped flowing. When she returns home to be with family, a melody starts haunting her… and so does a voice in her head. A real voice. A person. And when she tracks him down? It’s Sasha.

Fate has tied their minds together, and they set out to write the mysterious song that connects them—hoping that finishing it will silence the strange bond between them.

Ashley Poston never misses when it comes to writing grief with grace and magic. This story blends love, loss, and a hint of fate in a way that lingers. While it felt a little slow in parts, the emotional payoff (and lyrical writing) more than made up for it.
