I have read every book Sara Barnard has written and always loved her writing, her newest offering This Song Is About Us is no different. I adored this book from start to end. 

Ruby and Drew are young and in love. Drew’s band are about to hit the big time, catapulting him into the spotlight and Ruby is the ever faithful, biggest fan of Drew and his band. Faced with the decision of whether to keep their relationship secret or go public, this book explores the consequences of their decision, the influence of social media, the world of fandom. 

I loved the snippets of forum and social media posts between the festivals to help keep us op to date with what the band are doing. My absolutely favourite thing about this book (in typical Sara Barnard style) is the friendship between Ruby and Stel. Nobody writes a layered, female friendship like Sara. 

A really emotional read that is bound to tug on your heart strings. 

Thank you to Walker Books, Sara Barnard and NetGalley for my early review copy in exchange of a fair and honest review.
