Sounds of Yesterday
by Jacob Hubbard
This is a really interesting book - and I've really struggled at trying to figure out how to rate it. I've also struggled with what to say.
I can say that without a doubt, I am beyond glad and grateful that this book exists. It made me think in a way that most books do not, and it gave me a different perspective on a lot of things in my own life.
The back and forth between yesterday and today initially felt a bit odd, but as the chapters filled with memories, combined with the present day continued to pass I found myself really resonating with how the book was written. The language is a bit monotone, but I think that it was meant to be that way - it makes the reading a bit moodier, and realistic. I love the insight into the neurodivergent mind - the accumulation and buildup of the love, the longing, the heartbreak, and life - it all flows into that, it's just a story about life.
I loved the use of music within this story - the comfort that brought to me was rather startling but it worked out so very well. I also adore the playlist at the end!
I'm really grateful for this one - and I am truly grateful for Jacob Hubbard and his beautiful writing and impressive debut novel.
Thank you to NetGalley, Jacob Hubbard, and Celestial Seaside Publishing for this arc in exchange for my honest review.
