Book Riot’s 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, she’s left fending for herself in a town where she’s never quite felt at home. When she “borrows” her neighbor’s 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 that’s 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 doesn’t make sense to her that life could be this easy. The more she falls in love with her friends in Ithaca, the more she can’t shake the feeling that she’ll hurt them the way she’s 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 doesn’t 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 best-selling author).

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Julia Whelan is wonderful as April Sawicki, a teenager escaping an abusive home through travels, music, and meeting strangers. Whelan's husky timbre and thoughtful tone draw listeners into April's thoughts, which are mostly filled with self-doubt." (AudioFile Magazine)

Heartfelt Storytelling • Compelling Character Development • Emotional Journey • Found Family Themes • Beautiful Writing

There’s a lot of chapters in this book and when I got about 7/8th’s into it, I checked to see how many chapters were left, and I was so sad. Great story! Equally great narrator! I really didn’t know where the story was going to end up. I will listen to this audiobook a few more times at least!

Absolutely loved this book!

to narrate this well-written coming of age story. Larkin’s complex characters drew me in right away. And I was immediately invested in April and her situation.

Julia Whelan is the perfect choice…

If Allison Larkin never writes another story, she will forever remain in rarified company of brilliant storytellers.

This was an amazing story, an odyssey really. One about the real joy in the rare few with whom we can be totally ourselves; love and be loved without reservation.

And Julia Whelan’s performance was glorious!

Magical. Absolutely beautiful!

I loved this book….April’s character is so broken, but so rich. My heart broke for her so many times. I laughed and cried. In the end, I cried and smiled.

Great listen!

The narrator and the writer are simpatico-the characters draw you in - one of those books you can’t stop but don’t want to end either.

Could not stop listening

From beginning to end, a book worthy of keeping. Every chapter filled out the story of what hardness life can be, and allows you the hope for better.

refreshing

This book had it all! Everything I love in a great story...April struggles to find herself and let others in. She learns that running doesn't solve anything, and I feel like I know her and go through the process with her. Julia Whelan does it again! There's no other narrator that brings a story to life the way she tells it. Her voice fits these characters and especially April. A beautiful story by a brilliant author....can't wait to see what's next! 4.5 for sure!

Another fave for 2021!
