There's too much going on with me right now. I need time. Full review to come...

This book is amazing, you laugh, you cry , feel sad , feel elated. But most important it make you feel. It wrecked you like a good song. I miss it already!

Listened to this one. While the overall story was enjoyable, it was nowhere near as good as it's predecessor. It was cheesy in a way the first book managed not to be.

A lovely spin-off novel from Amy Harmon!

This book is about Moses' best friend, Tag, from The Law of Moses. I absolutely loved the friendship between Moses and Tag in the first book. And I was glad to get to know Tag better in this book. I also enjoyed the role Moses played, and it was nice to get some bonus content of him and Georgia and Kathleen.

We meet a few new characters in this novel and they were all very well-written. I will say that Henry stole my heart, though! He was the best.

In my experience with Amy Harmon novels, her wonderful writing is the constant among the various different topics/genres this author tackles. If you haven't read her yet, give her a try! She is definitely an author that has appeal to a wide rage of readers.

I'm convinced Amy Harmon can do no wrong. This was exquisite.

"Te amo, Millie. Y es el más increíble sentimiento, la más increíble cosa que he sentido"
》》》
No puedo con las lágrimas que inundan mi visión.
Estoy completamente devastada al leer esta increíble y conmovedora historia.

Amy Harmon siempre me atrapa con su escritura, no hay manera de que pierdas tu tiempo al leer lo que escribe esta mujer, porque es puro arte.✨️
Aún recuerdo cuando en pandemia empece a leer sus libros y uno de los primeros fue "The law of Moses", así es como conocí a David, el mejor amigo de Moses, fue de esos personajes extrañables de los cuales te preguntas ¿y qué será de su vida después del punto final? Pues, tres años después me atreví a leer su historia y fue una decisión de la que no me arrepiento.

David y Millie, son dos almas que se encontraron y aprendieron a conocerse de una manera tan única y estuvieron juntos a pesar de la dura realidad que tuvieron que pasar.
Su historia fue inspiradora, porque demostraron que el amor consiste en abrazar a esa persona en lo bueno, pero más en lo malo, en mostrarnos vulnerables y dejarnos sostener cuando estemos sin fuerzas para seguir. Ellos lo fueron y lo dieron todo. Si pudiera describir como es el amor los pusiera a ellos como ejemplo, porque se amaron con todas las tonalidades grises, oscuras y claras que la vida pueda tener.

Un libro bellamente escrito con personajes que atraparan tu corazón. ❤️‍

Did not quite get the ending. Most of the book was depressing to me. The first book was better, this one was just a heartache after another.

Every time I read an Amy Harmon book, she devastates me. The power of her words wreck me, each and every time. The characters, the story, the plot. The intricate way she weaves a story that simultaneously makes me laugh through the pain, cry through the agony, smile through the joy, and every other emotion I could feel on the gamut, she makes me feel. The Law of Moses was one of my favorite books last year, easily top ten- The Song Of David is going to be just like that. And it all comes back to her characterization.

David "Tag" Taggart has had a rough life- with parents that were loaded with money, but not so much on emotion. And after his sister Molly was killed he was convinced everything in life that was bad happened to him for a reason. That he deserved the life he was given. He received a inheritance and used to to open his places- his bar, his gym, his life. And then- he disappears, leaving behind tapes- cassette tapes to be exact, weaving his song, he love song- to Millie. And that's how the book reads. It goes back and forth from Tags tapes, to Moses' point of view. And if you don't know who Moses is- read him first, but all you need to know if him is that he is FABULOUS- and Tag's best friend.

“Are you going to devastate me, David?” she asked. “God, I hope not,” I prayed aloud. Anticipation dissolved the lingering space between us, and I pressed needy lips to her seeking mouth. And then we melded together, hands clinging, bodies surging, music moaning, dancing in the wreckage. Sweet, sweet, devastation. “Too late . . .” I thought I heard her whisper."

Millie. Oh my good God Millie. Where did she come from and how can I be her friend? I would love to have someone as just downright GOOD like her. Positive, upbeat. When she has a shite hand, it doesn't get her down, it's just the perks of the hand she's been dealt. And that made me LOVE her fiercely- as Tag did.

“The ability to devastate,” I repeated. And my voice broke. If that wasn’t a perfect description of the agony of love, I didn’t know what was. I had felt that devastation. I had survived it, but I didn’t want to survive it again."

Henry- Millie's brother, loved him fierce too. Even though you could tell he had problems of his own- obviously, he just related to people differently, by quoting sports statistics. He was a fanfreakingtastic secondary character- just as important as the main ones.

Whenever I read Amy's books- she makes me whole again. When I'm in a slump- I know I can re-read Law of Moses or Infinity + One, or Making Faces, and be thrust right back into five star land. And that's what the Song of David is to me. It hovers in five star land, barely. It is a hop, skip and a jump from the magic wanderlust that is six stars, and most books to me- are in 3-5 star land- SIXville, is reserved for magical books. Awe inspiring books. And Song of David, just leapt the fence- and is just chilling there with Archers Voice and Jake Undone for me- and Amy, if you don't know- those are my two favorite books of all time. Bravissimo sister- I knew you were special, but I never knew you had the power to devastate me, and you did, you just did.

“I can’t see my way forward,” I repeated, giving her my back, willing the churning in my gut and the swaying in my head to ease. “I can’t either,” Millie said softly. “But it hasn’t stopped me yet.”

Une belle histoire d’amour, qui suit le premier tome tout en ayant l’accent sur un personnage secondaire de celui-ci. Si le premier tome était axé sur Moise et sa quête de lui-même, le deuxième est davantage sur la relation entre deux personnages parfaitement imparfaites. Nous suivons les hauts et les bas d’une relation et ce qu’est la plus grande preuve d’amour que l’on peut donner à l’autre. Belle histoire où j’ai eu le coeur serré à plusieurs reprises parce que je suis vraiment tombé en amour avec Tag-Milie et le jeune Henry. Très belle lecture qui perd un peu de vitesse à la fin, mais tout de même bouleversant.
