Lo Fi by Liz Riggs

5.0

Lo Fi by Liz Riggs is a compelling coming-of-age novel that captures the tumultuous journey of early adulthood. The story follows Al, a complex protagonist navigating her messy twenties, as she struggles with indecision, boundaries, and romantic entanglements.

Set against a vibrant musical backdrop, Riggs' authentic prose and keen understanding of music culture shine throughout. Interspersed playlists and musical references create an immersive atmosphere that evokes empathy and nostalgia.

The novel vividly captures the challenges of pursuing a creative career, with characters whose passion and uncertainty feel authentic. Riggs skillfully portrays the existential crises and questionable decisions every day to young adulthood, evoking a sense of recognition that may make readers cringe. (Lord knows I know I did! 😆)

Lo Fi is a poignant exploration of finding one's voice, highly recommended for those who appreciate a raw, honest portrayal of self-discovery. It's a must-read for fans of Daisy Jones and The Six, anyone nostalgic for the mid-2000s, or those who feel music in their soul.
