God I just love Ashley's work. She simply excels at incorporating moments of magical realism throughout her novels and always has the perfect balance of grief and those rom com moments that we love.

As someone in the entertainment industry, I HEAVILY related to this one. Sounds Like Love really brings dreams to the forefront: Are our dreams worth the price of leaving family? What happens when our dreams are finally achieved? Is it worth it to follow our dreams?

I really enjoyed seeing Joni war with her inner thoughts throughout. I felt that the emotion and decision making felt incredibly real and raw and I loved getting to see her find her way back to herself. 

I loved the element of magical realism where Joni and Sebastian could hear one another's thoughts! It was such a unique element to the plot and honestly made for such an enjoyable reading experience. 


Anyone working in a creative field needs to read this one!!!

Thank you Berkley Romance and Ashley Poston for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.
