Darkhearts by James L. Sutter
4.0
4.6
Growing up, I was never a big fan of boy bands. During the One Direction craze, I mostly just read books yet didn’t dislike when their songs came on the radio. They had a sort of magnetism about them that made everyone stop and take a look. Nowadays, I’m more a fan of girl groups, but I still think about the electricity that comes with boy bands and how it cannot really be replicated in the modern era. So when I got the ARC for Darkhearts (thank you St. Martin’s Press!) I was very very excited to dive right in. This book is about love and the spotlight in the same way that it is about sorrow and jealousy. I would be bent out of shape too if the band I founded only got famous after I’d left. I throughly enjoyed David and Chance’s relationship and how they’d floated back into each other’s lives after a tragedy. I will say, I did think that the book would have more of an emphasis on grief — seeing as they both lost a friend. Thus, I gave this book a 4.6 out of 5 stars. If you liked this, make sure to check out If This Gets Out by Sophie Gonzales, Kiss & Tell by Adib Khorram, and Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall!
