Samenvatting
BOOK RIOTS BEST BOOKS OF 2021
This is a novel of great empathy, about connections and coming-of-age, built families and self-acceptance. It contains heartbreak and redemption, and a plucky, irresistible protagonist [A] propulsive, empathetic novel. Shelf Awareness
Little River, New York, 1994: April Sawicki is living in a motorless motorhome that her father won in a poker game. Failing out of school, picking up shifts at a local diner, shes left fending for herself in a town where shes never quite felt at home. When she borrows her neighbors car to perform at an open mic night, she realizes her life could be much bigger than where she came from. After a fight with her dad, April packs her stuff and leaves for good, setting off on a journey to find a life thats all hers.
Driving without a chosen destination, she stops to rest in Ithaca. Her only plan is to survive, but as she looks for work, she finds a kindred sense of belonging at Cafe Decadence, the local coffee shop. Still, somehow, it doesnt make sense to her that life could be this easy. The more she falls in love with her friends in Ithaca, the more she cant shake the feeling that shell hurt them the way shes been hurt. As April moves through the world, meeting people who feel like home, she chronicles her life in the songs she writes and discovers that where she came from doesnt dictate who she has to be.
This lyrical, luminous tale is both a profound love letter to creative resilience and a reminder that sometimes even tragedy can be a kind of blessing (Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author).
