Up All Night (Love You Like A Love Song,... A deeply moving story. Mitchell had made some choices in his life that he regrets and feels guilty for. At the time he did not realize the impact that one wrong move would have on his future and that of his family. Vowing never to end up in a similar situation, he safeguards himself emotionally by not letting anyone get to close. That is until he finally meets the one woman who can break through his barriers and see the man inside. Up All Night is a story that reiterates the theme of forgiveness. Mitchell made mistakes but in order to move on from them, he had to stop running and face them head on. That was part of his healing process. Falling in love is not easy. No one is perfect, but the challenge is accepting the good with the bad. Food for thought.

This isn't working for me right now. I read to 25% and called it quits. None of the characters or the plot is intriguing enough for me to keep picking up my Kindle, so it's going back in the TBR mountain.

This is a standalone, not a series. I think this book defies my every attempt to encapsulate it into a single synopsis. Let’s break it down to a cast of very unreliable narrators, every one with secrets, in a land where music is magic. A band of poets, facing down an evil censor in a battle for truth and art in the face of a plague that tells them that evil magic has once more been resurrected. The book is beautiful and lyrical and the city is atmospheric in the same way that GGK often is, and the story’s many threads weave themselves together to create an epic whole. Myer’s background as a journalist and living abroad is definitely reflected in her writing.

This book was perfect for me. The only thing that would have made it better is a lesbian subplot. Once again (or for the first time since this is her first book) Jenkins uses lovable, realistic characters and humor to give the reader a taste of a history lesson.I loved Chase and Cara. Cara might be my favorite Jenkins's leading ladies. Perfectly self-reliant, but not to an annoying extent. What I loved most about this story was the setting and the secondary characters. You felt like a part of this small Kansas town. I cared about the children Cara taught. I cared about Chase's best friend. Like LaVryle Spencer's Morning Glory, this story completely sucked me in. I didn't want it to end.
