Once More from the Top by Emily Layden

4.0

---

I would happily recommend this book to any TJR fans. Dylan Read is a superstar who's high school best friend, Kelsey, went missing 15 years ago. When Kelsey's body turns up, we are launched into Dylan's introspection. Dylan revisits every major beat in her career while (finally) unpacking the loss of Kelsey with this new sense of closure. Our celebrity protagonist has defined herself in the avoidance of this loss. Will she be able to revisit how she experiences connection now that Kelsey can be laid to rest? This book was entertaining, tense, and read like a biography. What a ride.
