4 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Sixteen-year-old Ivy Higgins is the only student at Carmel Heights High School who listens to cassettes. And her binder is the only one decorated with album artwork by 80s band Chasing Eveline. Despite being broken-up since 1989, this rock band out of Ireland means everything to Ivy. They're a reminder of her mom, who abandoned Ivy and her dad two years ago. Now the music of her mom's favorite band is the only connection she has left.Even though Ivy wavers between anger and a yearning to reconnect, she's one-hundred percent certain she's not ready to lose her mom forever. But the only surefire way to locate her would be at a Chasing Eveline concert. So with help from her lone friend Matt'an equally abandoned soul and indie music enthusiast?Ivy hatches a plan to reunite the band.The road to Ireland won't be easy, though. And not just because there is no road. Along the way they'll have to win over their Lady Gaga-loving peers, tangle with some frisky meerkats, and oh yeah, somehow find and persuade the four members to play a reunion gig. It's a near-impossible task, but Ivy has to try. If she can't let go of the past, she'll never be able to find joy in the present.

This book was so cute! Ivy was awkward and relatable, and I loved her friendship with Matt - it felt real to high school. And Sean! I want Ivy and Sean together REAL BAD. The whole search for the band was fun and everything felt like it was true to life. I loved it. And it's out TODAY! Go get it!

Less than a week until this darling releases, and I'm loving it so far! What a cute story about a daughter trying to find her mom a couple years after she left. If the weekend goes my way, I'll be curled up with this book for most of the time. 😍

I wrote this book! It releases July 11. YA lit. Music, friendship, and a super cool 80s rock group. "I was too young to understand probability. But I did understand magic. She told me if I put my whole heart and soul into my song, I would create magic." #ya #reading
