I cant even put into words how much i loved The Songs You‘ve Never heard! The fluid writing style and interesting character caught my interest immediately. I really liked that there are full songs in the book (which is a thing I’ve never seen before) so big thumbs up to the authors And i can only say that i fell head over heals for the story of Meg and Alana and loved every single page of this book!! Huge recommendation
Überall wird dieses Buch als "lesbian Hearstopper" angepriesen. Ich muss aber ganz ehrlich sagen: Das fühl ich nicht. Die Vibes von "If you still recognize me" sind für mich eher melancholisch, was bei "Hearstopper" einfach nicht der Fall ist. Aber das ist keinesfalls was Schlechtes. Auch wenn mir der Einstieg nicht ganz leichtgefallen ist - auch in Bezug auf die chinesische Kultur, in der ich mich überhaupt nicht auskenne - hat mich das Hörbuch schließlich echt mitgerissen. Ich mochte Elsie und Joan und ihre komplizierte Beziehung so gern, aber auch die anderen Charaktere sind so lebensecht, dass ich das Gefühl hatte, ich wäre selbst mit ihnen befreundet. Und eventuell hab ich ab und an auch das ein oder andere Tränchen vergossen.
This was out of this world. Wow. I've never read or heard anything within this concept of having real songs embedded in a novel, but I need more!! Everything about this book was stunning. The cover art, the song lyrics, the humour and the characters. The rawness and honesty. The realism. Such a beautiful story about friendship, family and siblinghood. Flawed characters you grow to love with all their annoying quirks. To do it in the style of the book: My top 5 things I loved about "The Songs You've Never Heard" 1. The songs. The lyrics, everything. This book is a love letter to music and I enjoyed every second of it. 2. The humour. I haven't laughed that much reading a book in a long time, but for me it was never over the top. 3. The layout. All those text messages, the lists, the cover art. It felt like home. 4. The characters. Just deadly real and relatable, I got caught in 4k multiple times. 5. The inspiration and hope it gives. I feel like I can do anything right now. I feel like my creative work will find its place in the world some day as long as I don't forget why I create. Thank you for that
[Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an early review copy!] 4,5* CW: homophobia, toxic relationships, anxiety Wow. This book was beautiful and heartwarming! What caught my attention instantly, was the breathtaking cover! I love illustrated covers, especially when a POC character is portrayed. This is one of the most gorgeous covers I’ve ever come across. The amazing exterior of the book is perfectly underlined by Cynthia So’s writing style. Her words create such visually stunning imagery. I love how she describes feelings, characters, and (especially!) food. The food descriptions made me super hungry sometimes! Those also helped me to get an idea about Elsie’s chinese heritage and her family's culture. The characters and their relationships are so well crafted and distinct. Every person has their own voice, their own story to tell. And most of them are queer, which is freaking amazing. This book’s representation of LGBTQIA+ characters is pure perfection. We have a variety of gay, bi, ace and non-binary characters of different age groups. I love how it shows that being queer is not a recent trend – we have been around FOR EVER. Elsie and her friend Ada are huge fans of a comic book series called Eden Recoiling and I loved the little bits and bobs about that story. The portrayal of being part of a fandom felt very accuarate and realistic to me. Elsie not only deals with her sexuality, she also suffers from repercussions of a former relationship which was very toxic. I appreciated how the author intertwined these small moments of trauma and healing. »Sometimes, when we were crossing this bridge, he would reach out, his fingers loosely curled around mine, only for the length of the bridge, and stupidly I held on to every moment of that more fiercely than he ever held on to me.« „If You Still Recognise Me“ is a love story that unfolds like a flower, slowly but surely. I would love to read more about Elsie, Joan, Ritika, Ada and Felix. I already miss them!
A very nice Book about finding yourself!
highlight of the year!
