Perfect Tunes by Emily Gould

4.0

4 stars for this novel! The story follows Laura as she navigates her journey as a mother and a musician. This is definitely a character driven novel, so if you’re looking for a lot of action, this is probably not the book for you. The writing is really great! I was so enthralled with the story I had read 100 pages, and it felt like 30. There’s a lot packed into a rather short novel, but the central theme is really the struggle of balancing parenthood with your passions. Other themes explore the complexities of family, love, loss, and mental illness. I also really liked how the book ended- very fitting. Highly recommend.
