Quick Summary: A YA romance triumph

My Review: Rhythm and Muse by India Hill Brown gets all the snaps and claps. It was a journey into self discovery and realization set to a R & B vibe.

About the Book: Shy guy, Darren Johnson, has had a longstanding crush on podcaster Delia Dawson for a while. He wanted to step to her, but he didn’t know how. When a recording of his voice is submitted for a contest, he feels outed in ways that make him feel uncomfortable. As a result, he has to deal with some past struggles and a few new challenges. What he ends up discovering is that trusting in himself and in his heart will never be wrong.

My Final Say:

This is the first time I’ve read a romance / romcom that was written from the perspective of a young Black teen boy. I absolutely loved it. Our protagonist Darren is bright, taken, sensitive, and introspective. We meet him at the beginning of junior year in high school, daydreaming about Delia, who he’s been crushing on for an entire year.

Sweet, YA appropriate hijinks soon unfold and I found myself rooting for all of the delightful characters in this story.

I’d love to see this as a movie or limited series. It was SO good!
