I admit that band-type and historical romances aren’t usually my thing, but the blurb for Mayluna jumped out at me for January’s FirstRead picks. I was pleasantly surprised to have loved it! It was exactly what I expected, and I got some Nicholas Sparks vibes from this, another author who I enjoy reading when I’m in the mood for a tearjerker and epic romance. 

I somehow knew this book was going to break my heart before starting it, but like I said, I can’t help but fall for hearing the greatest love story of someone’s life. This is a love story, yes, but ultimately, it is about our protagonist, Evie, and her growth throughout her young adult to middle aged life. She makes some decisions that I didn’t necessarily agree with, but her reasons are plausible and understandable, I felt. And speaking of feelings, I definitely felt all the feels in this story. 

Overall, a great read for fans of women’s fiction, romance, and historical fiction.
