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…

The Girl in the Love Song, book one in the Lost Boys, an interconnected coming-of-age series of standalones, from USA Today bestselling author Emma Scott, is live!

Words can’t express how much I loved this book. Emma Scott once again slayed in. The Girl in the Love Song is such an epic friends to lovers story and it blew me away.
Miller and Violet meet for the first time when they’re just thirteen. Their lives are so different, but the develop the most beautiful friendship. It’s the kind of friendship that you never doubt. You know that person is your person and they have your back always.
Miller’s life is hard. Violets is too, but in a different way. These two are always there to support one another and you see them growing up together. You see them fall in love. The problem is, that they’re both terrified to be together. To lose the most important relationship of their lives.
Although this book featured Miller and Violet when they were adults towards the end, it had much more of a YA/NA feel to it since most of it took place during their high school years. That’s my favorite type of read so I was so excited to see some YA goodness and first love angst here.
This was a beautiful story of friendship and first loves, but it was also deep and had some heavy moments. Homelessness and chronic diseases are two that were done really well in my opinion (view spoiler). I love that Emma’s books always give me all the feels. It’s my favorite thing when I’m reading. I want all the emotion and I want to be moved. This story moved me.
Miller and Violet’s romance was stunning. I couldn’t have loved it more. Miller was one of the sweetest and selfless heroes and I loved how determined and strong Violet was. They really did make the best pair.
After reading The Girl in the Love Song I am insanely excited for the next two lost boys to get their own stories. I’m enamored with both of them and I can’t wait to read more from this group. If you’re looking for a sweet, emotional, angsty, and completely outstanding romance, pick up this book! I know it will be on my top reads of 2020 and I recommend it to all!
“You’re the best thing that ever happened to me.”
