The Girl in the Love Song (Lost Boys Book 1) (English Edition) por [Emma Scott]

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

Review

Emma Scott is one of those kind of writers whose books I read without even knowing the synopsis and it is always certain that I will fall in love. With The Girl in the Love Songs, it was no different. She brought to life characters so real that it seems that we already know them from somewhere.

Violet is a normal girl with a crush on the most beautiful boy in school and who has everything she wants except a quiet family. His parents lately look like strangers and can only scream at each other. Right on her birthday as they fight, she sees a boy she doesn't know from her window and even though he is a total stranger, she can't resist getting close because of the loneliness that she feels in her room.

Miller is a suffering boy who saw his life collapse overnight and witness his mother's constant struggle to give her son a roof and food without success. In a distressing night, he decides to take a walk to escape his harsh reality and ends up meeting the sweet Violet.

From there, a beautiful, painful and exciting new journey begins for these two young people.

The book is divided into four parts each showing a moment in their lives since the moment they met at thirteen years old and I confess that the part I loved most was without a doubt the one that shows they discovering love.

I loved Miller's friends so much and fell in love with Rider too. I can already imagine how tense and strong book two will be. I also loved the songs and the moment when they are presented. I loved the cover and all the sweetness transmitted by it.

5/5 stars

Resenha

Emma Scott é daquele tipo de escritora que leio o livro sem nem saber a sinopse e sempre é certeza que vou me apaixonar. Com The Girl in the Love Songs ,não foi nem um pouco diferente. Ela trouxe à vida personagens tão reais que parece que a gente já conhece eles de algum lugar.

Violet é um garota normal com crush pelo garoto mais bonito da escola e que tem tudo o que deseja menos uma família tranquila. Seus pais ultimamente parecem estranhos e só sabem brigar aos berros um com o outro. Bem no dia de seu aniversário enquanto eles brigam , ela vê de sua janela um garoto que não conhece e mesmo sendo um total estranho , ela não resiste em se aproximar tamanha é a solidão que sente em seu quarto.

Miller é um garoto revoltado que viu sua vida desmoronar de uma hora para outra e presenciar a luta constante de sua mãe para dar um teto e comida para seu filho sem conseguir. Numa noite angustiante, ele resolve dar uma volta para fugir de sua dura realidade e conhece a doce Violet.

A partir dai, começa uma nova jornada linda,sofrida e emocionante para estes dois jovens.

O livro é dividido em quatro partes cada uma mostrando um momento na vida deles e confesso que a parte que mais amei foi sem sombra de dúvida a que mostra a descoberta do amor.

Amei demais os amigos de Miller e me apaixonei por Rider. Já estou imaginando o quão tenso e forte será o livro dois. Amei tambem as músicas e o momento em que são apresentadas.Amei a capa e toda a doçura transmitida por ela.

5/5 estrelas.
