Where the Rhythm Takes You by Sarah Dass

3.0

Persuasion is a hard sell for me as a YA novel because the story works best when a lot more time has passed and it's a bit hard for me to buy the happily ever after when it's a 19 and 18 year old but the story was still fun; I liked seeing how the author envisioned a second chance romance for teenagers. Reyna is hard to root for sometimes, she can be her own worst enemy, but she's also very much 18 years old so it all makes perfect sense. I really loved the setting; I never knew much about Tobago and this book is seeped with the island's culture from start to finish. I highly recommend following up on some of the author's playlist recommendations (and yes, heed her warning that you will dance like a fool when you listen to them).
