This is a story about love, but not the kind of love you think. You'll see...In the lush and magical Pacific Northwest live two best friends who grew up like sisters: charismatic, mercurial, and beautiful Aurora, and the devoted, watchful narrator. Each of them is incomplete without the other. But their unbreakable bond is challenged when a mysterious and gifted musician named Jack comes between them.His music is like nothing I have ever heard. It is like the ocean surging, the wind that blows across the open water, the far call of gulls.Suddenly, each girl must decide what matters most: friendship, or love. What both girls don't know is that the stakes are even higher than either of them could have imagined. They're not the only ones who have noticed Jack's gift; his music has awakened an ancient eviland a world both above and below which may not be mythical at all. We have paved over the ancient world but that does not mean we have erased it. The real and the mystical; the romantic and the heartbreaking all begin to swirl together in All Our Pretty Songs, Sarah McCarry's brilliant debut, carrying the two on journey that is both enthralling and terrifying. And it's up to the narrator to protect the people she lovesif she can.

Part 2 of my birthday haul. 📚📚😃It is interesting that the Backman novel has a different title from the one I ordered. I assume that this is the U.K. title? Either way, I'm looking forward to reading it!

Lindy A great way to spread out your birthday celebrations! (Belated best wishes on joining us in the over 50 club.) 7y

This is a YA grunge take on the Orpheus myth. It follows two girls raised as sisters, one the daughter of a dead rock star and music prodigy, the other the daughter of a kitchen witch who left the sex, drugs and rock and roll lifestyle behind. #smellsliketeenspirit #JuneTunz

I loved this trilogy based on Ovid's Metamorphoses and set in the 1990s Pacific Northwest. Some plot points revolve around music, and the titles come from Nirvana song lyrics. #maybookflowers #musicaltitles

Mehso-so

As short as this was, it was a bit too wordy for me. Good mix of mythology and a contemporary setting but not enough substance to have me invested in the characters.

misswendyd Agreed. Lovely language, but I wanted a bit more substance. 8y
