5 posts | 8 read | 8 to read
From the author of You Should See Me in a Crown, Leah Johnson delivers a stunning novel about being brave enough to be true to yourself, and learning to find joy even when times are unimaginably dark. Olivia is an expert at falling in love . . . and at being dumped. But after the fallout from her last breakup has left her an outcast at school and at home, shes determined to turn over a new leaf. A crush-free weekend at Farmland Music and Arts Festival with her best friend is just what she needs to get her mind off the senior year that awaits her. Toni is one week away from starting college, and its the last place she wants to be. Unsure about who she wants to become and still reeling in the wake of the loss of her musician-turned-roadie father, shes heading back to the music festival that changed his life in hopes that following in his footsteps will help her find her own way forward. When the two arrive at Farmland, the last thing they expect is to realize that theyll need to join forces in order to get what theyre searching for out of the weekend. As they work together, the festival becomes so much more complicated than they bargained for. Olivia and Toni will find that they need each other, and music, more than they ever could have imagined. Packed with irresistible romance and irrepressible heart, bestselling author Leah Johnson delivers a stunning and cinematic story about grief, love, and the remarkable power of music to heal and connect us all.

I used to go to all day outdoor concerts, much like the one mentioned in this book. I would have loved to have been able to spend the night and make it a whole weekend thing. Those concerts are fewer and farther between these days with all of the security issues that arise in the book too. Felt like a deep dive into all the teen social issues at once type of story with a fun setting that was easy to imagine.

I didn't enjoy this as much as I had hoped I would, unfortunately. One of the mains was just a truly messed up person who needed therapy more than she needed a girlfriend, and it felt like the book itself was trying to tackle too many things at once. Too many unfinished archs. The writing was A+ though, but not enough to save it imo.
