The Legendary Shiver by J.H. MacAl

5.0

The Legendary Shiver had me hooked from the very beginning since I am a music addict and the story shows a young girl trying to make it in the music industry.

I felt awful for Will who struggled to get out of the friendzone for such a long time. He's always there to support his best friend and bring her back on track despite being told to leave multiple times.

The story shows how true friendship can overcome almost any obstacle and can evolve into a bigger feeling - love. There are cute moments, sad moments and moments that made me cringe with embarrassment. Shiver's journey really shows what can happen to a person when fame gets into their head.

I am begging one of you to read this book so I can talk about the ending. The ending BROKE MY HEART. I was up in my bed with a tear-stained face, sobbing loudly. At 2am.

It's a truly beautiful book.

On a side note, I really want to hear the songs that feature in it.

On another side note, there were a few things that reminded me of Harry Styles. "Golden" being one of the songs in the book (also the first track on Shiver's second album) and "Falling again" being another song. So, even if it wasn't intentional I liked that little nod towards my favourite artist.
