At Santa Cruz Central High School, they called them the misfits, the outcasts, the weirdos. But most of us knew them as the Lost Boys... Miller Stratton is a survivor. After a harrowing childhood of poverty, he will do anything it takes to find security for himself and his mom. 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. But 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 perfect 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 realize that she’s the girl in all of his love songs? Lost Boys is a new series of interconnected, coming-of-age standalones from USA Today bestselling author Emma Scott, coming in 2020

When I read the book description of ‘The Girl In The Love Song’, I knew this was a book I wanted to read. So when I got the email saying I was approved to read an ARC of this book, I was super excited. And don’t you just love that cover?

In ‘The Girl in the Love Song’ we meet Violet and Miller at the age of thirteen. Their lives are totally different, but after meeting each other they both now they will always be part of each other lives. They take care of each other and love each other. But they both have their fears and they are both scared to become more than friends. This book has different parts. We start when Violet and Miller are thirteen, and in each part they are older and in another part of their life.

‘The Girl in the Love Song’ was very different than what I expected it to be when I started reading. For one, I didn’t expect this story to take place mostly in their teens. It’s not a bad thing, but they were just very young and I rarely read books about teens anymore. So this took some getting used too. This book made me look back at my own teen years, and boy am I glad those years are behind me.

From the moment Violet and Miller meet I just knew their story would be intense, and it definitely was. I loved their friendship, and the way they were each other’s soulmates even when they didn’t know this themselves. It was hard to read about how their lives where at times. Both of them had a hard time and it made me want to cry. How can people make such a mess of their lives?!

The romance between Violet and Miller was very sweet, and I loved their connection just so much. But what I loved most was the way they always had each other’s backs. Nothing could get between them..  And although the romance part in this book didn’t wow me as much as I’d hoped, I enjoyed every minute of this book.

There where also a lot of friends of Violet and Miller I kept wondering about. Especially those friends of Miller, the Lost boys. I definitely can’t wait to read their story.
