The Long Distance Playlist by Tara Eglington
3.0
I found the book pretty enjoyable. It follows the budding romance of Isolde and Taylor as they rekindle their friendship and eventually, become a couple.
The beginning was pretty middle-grade writing. Very simple and sounded like Eglington was trying too hard to be relatable to readers. However, I really enjoyed the book when Taylor was discussing his therapy sessions and Isolde was discussing her parents divorce.
I found when the emotions of the characters were deeply explored, the book seemed more mature and overall, more enjoyable. The plot was predictable, but I went into it knowing it would be. The representation in this book is great as well. I haven’t read a novel where the MC is an amputee and a teenager. They’re normally found in side characters if at all.
Overall, I’d give this 3 stars.
