When reading <I>Sounds Like Love</I>, it did just that---read like love.
Joni Lark and Sebastian Fell are adorable, messy, and realistic, even in Ashley Poston's dreamlike world where all music enthusiasts got to live-out their fantasy of falling in love with a famous musician (Is this play about us?). So what, if the in-each-other's mind thing would work on me... That's what a therapist is for.
What I love more so is Ashley Poston's choice to be whimsical with her romance, with her writing, cringy it may be, but that's the thrill of it. She does not shy from the magical realism because what's life if not a little magical?
<I>Sounds Like Love</i> was more than just a romance, this was a love song (ba dum tss) to creators and dreamers, to the author and her memories. To her grandmother. To the what-if's we never had and the acceptance of the choices we made and making that the new dream.
