Sounds of Yesterday by Jacob Hubbard
4.0
emotional hopeful informative sad
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: Yes

First and foremost thank you for the ARC in exchange for my honest review. 

This was definitely very unique and different than what I normally read. It read like a diary. Real, raw and super personal. I think this is why many didn't know how to review it. I didn't mind it at all. 

Not really a romance & it's important to know that before going in. The main character is neurodivergent and he is the narrator of the book. It gives a beautiful look into how the mind of a neurodivergent individual works. & the writing reflects that which I thought was amazing. 

Another reason this is not a romance is because this is post break up. It goes over loss and grief after a break up. So it's like a love story but the aftermath. 
I really enjoyed the community and support aspect of this book. It warmed my heart. 

Overall, I liked it and am excited to see what else Jacob writes. 

I implore you to go into this book with an open mind. It's beautiful when a book can give you insight about how people different from you live their lives and process things and even more beautiful when it teaches you something.
