This is an INCREDIBLE young adult romance. Maybe my favorite, I fear !
Every Time You Hear That Song is a love letter to country music, the South, queerness, and complex women. Ron DeSantis is going to have a heart attack, but I think every teenager should read this book. I really didn't expect to love this book as much as I do. Jenna Voris writes teenagers EXCEPTIONALLY well in a way that feels rich and real and not at all cliche. Teens in this book say fuck !! That alone is an anomaly in YA!!!
Above all else, this book is about the value of the South. It's a love letter to the accent, the food, the city, the people. Red states and small towns are worth fighting for and you can still have complicated feelings about those places, but we owe them our compassion.
