rwbrock 's review for:
The Lost Love Song
by Minnie Darke
4.25/5⭐️
The cover is a bit misleading as the story is not all happy and light (tissues, maybe?)...but I loved it.
It’s fiction, so if you can look at far-fetched instances as “fate”, luck, coincidence or a God-thing, underneath it all are multiple stories of how (as Forrest would put it), “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”
It all centers on a lost love song and how it touches characters during different times/experiences in their lives. Foremost there’s love, but also restlessness, loneliness and loss, and ultimately hope as they each deal differently with the messiness of life. So while at its core it’s a “feel-good” story, there’s a lot of things to get through along the way there.
Beautifully written and highly recommended.
Thanks very much to #NetGalley and #BallantineBooks for providing me the ARC. The opinions are strictly my own.
