Description
From USA Today bestselling author Emma Scott comes the first in an emotional series of interconnected, coming-of-age YA romances.
He survived the worst. She was his only light. Now his music belongs to the world, and he wrote her into every song... But will she ever hear the words?
From USA Today bestselling author Emma Scott comes a breathtakingly emotional coming-of-age romance about love, timing, and the songs we write with our hearts.
Miller Stratton is a survivor. After a harrowing childhood marked by poverty, he will do anything it takes to find security for himself and his mum. He's putting all his hopes and dreams in the fragile frame of his guitar and the beauty he creates with its strings and his soulful voice. Until Violet.
No one expects to meet the love of their life at age thirteen, yet the spunky rich girl steals Miller's heart and refuses to give it back.
Violet McNamara's life hasn't been as simple as it looks. Her picture-perfect family is not so flawless after all. Her best friend Miller is her one constant, and she is determined not to ruin their friendship with romantic complications.
But the heart wants what it wants. As Miller's star begins to rise to stratospheric heights, what will it take for Violet to realise that she's the girl in all his love songs?
Set against a California backdrop and the dizzying lights of musical stardom, this is a story of friendship, first love, and the kind of heartbreak that leaves a permanent echo, perfect for fans of Tillie Cole, Colleen Hoover, and Chloe Walsh.
Tropes fans love:
- Poor boy/rich girl
- Musician hero
- Friends to lovers
- Unrequited love (but not really)
- Chronic illness rep
- Found family
- Right person, wrong time
- Angst, angst, angst
