Issacs song is written in the same universe and focases on the same characters as Don't Cry for Me. I loved Don't Cry for Me when I read it around this time last year so I was excited to dive into this. I was worried at first that the stories would be to similar and it would just feel like a reread but I they blended together beautifully to create one full picture. I think I would recommend waiting a little between the two books however as reading them back to back would be too much of a good thing. Getting to re visit these characters a year later from a new viewpoint made the story even better. 
I've lived in KC my whole life and getting to see my city represented in writing is always lovely and this book did I wright. It Really truly felt like KC, the good and the bad.
The audio for this book was definitely well done, I would totally recommend listening to the book as in my opinion it allows you to absorb the story better.
  Thank you to Net Galley the publisher and the author for this arc copy!
