It's always fun to visit the whimsical world of Ashley Poston. With just four novels, her name has become synonymous with otherworldly love stories. And her latest, Sounds Like Love, may be the most magical yet.
Joni Lark has music in her soul. She grew up at the Revelry, her parents' music hall on the Outer Banks, and her mother used to sing for a famous band. So after college, she moved to Los Angeles to make it as a songwriter. Nearly a decade later, she's penned songs for some of the biggest names in the business. But a bout of writer's block has her wondering if her career is over. Also, her mom, with whom she's very close, has early onset dementia. When she goes home for the summer, it's bittersweet.
Then she starts hearing a voice in her head and doesn't know what to do. Suddenly, she's privy to a strange man's thoughts -- and he's privy to hers. Before she knows it, they're forging a connection, all set to mysterious music. Yet as scary as this seems, it's just what Joni needs. Because getting acquainted with Sasha sends her on a journey through her mom's past, forcing her to reexamine her present and what it means to come home.
Written in lush, lyrical prose, Sounds Like Love is unforgettably poignant. Poston crafts Joni's world with care and intention, evoking our own what-ifs in this beautiful tale of romantic and familial love.
If you heart love and fancifulness, then Sounds Like Love hits the right notes.
