The Music That Ties Us (Love Ties Us Series) by Nicolette Terry – Review by Maisie Camille
The Music That Ties Us: A Rockstar Romance by Nicolette Terry
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It’s funny how I keep picking up books that I end up massively relating to. Cadence is stuck in an unhappy, toxic, passionless relationship until her sister drags her to see a band and she can’t keep her eyes off the lead singer. They don’t get along at first, but end up forming a deep friendship, which allows Cadence to grow the strength she needs. It’s an emotional story all-round, as well as relatable, and inspirational, and romantic. I did find a few issues towards the end, for instance, I feel like Damien’s history is the kind of story that contributes towards the lack of belief in women, I thought her connection to music would come sooner, months go by in the space of a few chapters, a lot comes out about Elijah, there’s a huge level of miscommunication, and I’m guessing the reveal at the end is a hint towards the next in the series but I hadn’t connected to the relevant characters enough for it to make an impact. But overall it was a passionate love story and I’m happy with how it worked out. My favourite character was Cadence and my least favourite character was Elijah. I recommend this book because it is inspiring especially if you find yourself stuck in an unhappy situation. And we’ve all dreamed about singing along with a rockstar, haven’t we? ‘There was something inspiring about hitting rock bottom and creating yourself all over again, brick by brick.’
