Blurred Lines by Victoria Ellis Book Review




Publishing July 10, 2020. (Not my picture.)

As a member of Ms. Ellis' ARC review team, I was gifted an early copy of "Blurred Lines." I am putting a language warning on this book for those who may be sensitive.

Ava Keyes grew up with parents who loved music - especially the classics. How appropriate for her to meet River Jacobs in a music store. River left Ava a note with the clerk of the record store on his way out that first day. Ava's dad convinced her to call River. She did. They had a summertime romance until River left for California to pursue his music dream. Fast forward five years. A chance meeting ... a romance rekindled but put on hold ... again. One year later ... do they dare try again? Are Ava and River really meant to be together? Will they stop getting in their own way and give them a shot at happily ever after?

It is interesting to note that Ms. Ellis titles her chapters with a song, including the artist, that represents the chapter. She is also able to hone in on how Ava and River's relationship transpires in a very realistic way. I am quite certain that there are many folks out in the "real" world who have been down the same sort of road and will be able to relate to Ava and River's relationship.
