5+ stars for There's So Much I Need to Say to You by @precariouspress #lgbtqia #rockfiction #bookish



Title: There's So Much I Need to Say to You

Author: Sutton Tell

Genre: Lgbtqia+; Lesbian Fiction; Coming of Age


Book Blurb:


Taryn Taylor knows the only thing worse than growing up in the shadow of a rock star is gaining your own spotlight—then losing it. She’s powerless as she watches the lead singer of their indie band destroy everything they’ve worked so hard for, right on the cusp of super-stardom.


Grieving her famous dad at the age of four was heart-breaking, but this is soul-crushing.


Barely out of high school, Taryn struggles to hold onto her dreams and navigate the complicated, secret relationship she has with her bassist, Shay. But Taryn never wanted to fall in love and after spending so much energy seeking the limelight, she might be blinded by it.


It’s time to grow up and face the music. But betrayal hovers close by, and the hurts of Taryn’s past are far from over.


Raw, funny, and unforgettable, There’s So Much I Need to Say to You is an #OwnStories LGBTQIA2S+ novel about losing your way and finding your truth.


My Review:


A sign that this is a great book is that it took me hours to figure out what to say in this review. From start to finish, you can't help but cheer on Taryn. The reader is able to make this character part of the reader's life right away. It is within only a couple of chapters and Taryn's happiness will be central to your own peace of mind.


A brilliantly paced book that puts the reader deep into the music scene. What the reader also grasps quickly is that love is complicated but young love is very tricky. Taryn and Shay are so much more than bandmates but how much more? For that answer, you have to read this amazing book.


The characters are rich and full. There are some very funny lines in this book too. The imagery is strong and gripping. A reader can't be more than halfway through this book without wondering aloud, 'What will happen next??'


A superb book that deals with love, accepting grief, and the intricacies of the celebrity lifestyle. Compelling, emotional, and well written, this is a book for 2021. Recommended to every LGBTQ+ reader. Recommended to readers who enjoy rock fiction. Recommended to fans of good love stories. Just a great book.


My Rating: 5+ stars
