The Backtrack by Erin La Rosa

4.0

4.25 stars⭐️! This was the first book I’ve read by Erin La Rosa and I really enjoyed this book! I grew up listening to Fall Out Boy, MCR, and P!ATD so all reading it made me feel super nostalgic! I thought Sam and Damon were fun together! I really enjoyed the magical realism of the book and seeing their lives in the alternate timeline! I thought showing different stages of their lives with a different song was so creative and fun! I tried to listen to each song during these “flashback” and it added so much to my reading experience! I loved the beach setting of Tybee Island, it creates such a fun summer atmosphere, making it the perfect summer read! If you enjoy tropes such as second chance romance, friends to lovers, small beach town, and magical realism, this is the perfect book for you!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!
