I absolutely loved this book it was so poetic and enchanting I read it in two days‼️ I loved the direction the author took it made the book hit a little different but in a good way. Weaving through decades the dual timelines worked well especially once I realized the similarities between certain characters. It kind of made me think of the movie Seventeen Again with a 1920s spin.
The novel follows Ricki Wilde, the artistic daughter of a powerful Atlanta dynasty who decides to head to Harlem in search of a fresh start. Then we have Ezra Walker a lost musician drawn to Harlem every leap year in February to find his soulmate and end their epic love story before it begins. “I’m not scared of you he said. I’m scared of us.”
The past timeline being set during the Harlem Renaissance era gave it such a pleasant historical feel and enhanced the tone of the book. The current focused more on the character building and tying the timelines together. With the connection between Ezra and Ricki being so instant. Their coincidental run-ins proved you can’t fight fate when it’s meant to be.
Overall, I highly recommend A Love Song for Ricki Wilde to anyone who loves romance, magical elements, or historical fiction. All of the characters were well-drawn and relatable loved Mrs.Della she made the ending worthwhile. Ezra was so chivalrous his character was literally everything too. Special thanks to the author & @grandcentralpub for my advanced copy‼️
