All the Wrong Chords
by Christine Hurley Deriso
Poignant and sweet, ALL THE WRONG CHORDS is heart-stinging story of family, grief, and self-discovery.
The family dynamics in this story are so well written. I loved seeing them interact with one another, and they read very genuinely. I thought the author also did a great job of highlighting the way that each of the different members of the family was grieving in a different and personal way, and it was really interesting to see how the different ways in which each of the characters grieved was reflected in their different personalities. It really brought them to life for me and made them feel like real people.
The romance was, admittedly, a bit predictable yet still enjoyable. I thought that Scarlett’s immediate infatuation with Declan was very relatable and the romance throughout was really very sweet.
The plot was very tight and concise, and the story moved along quite quickly while still incorporating plenty of heartrending moments for readers. For me, this story is really about how Scarlett discovers truths about herself and the world around her as she works through her grief over the loss of her brother, and the romance and music was really the icing on the top.
Scarlett’s relationship with the band was a lot of fun and definitely balanced some of the heavier content in the story.
This is a great read for fans of YA Contemporary novels that make you put you through the emotional ringer!
