Review: Casey Barnes Eponymous by E.A. Rigg




It's three weeks into the school year when music junkie Casey Barnes gets a second chance with her mysterious, heartbreaking ex-boyfriend. She comes up with a plan to win him back, but it soon spins out of control as rivalries, revelations about him, and music itself all start to collide. For Casey the newfound attention means learning the difference between wanting center stage and actually being on it.


From Goodreads

Casey Barnes Eponymous had to be the closest book I've ever related to and at the same time shown me this whole other side. I'm a musician to some degree and the area that this story took place in really made me giggly to no end.

E.A. Rigg how I worship at your feet for writing the most epic playlist novel with the best main character there could possible be. All the playlists in this novel made me really proud and some what downgraded what I thought good music was and the epicness that I have been missing in the punk/rock community. I love the dialogue written in the story and the characters were completely life like.

Playlist: Faelorehn by Jenna Elizabeth Johnson

I had reviewed Faelorehn a couple of weeks ago, and thought that it would be pretty easy and fun to make a playlist for the novel. Well, boy was I wrong. I had so much trouble and unable to think or find any song that stood out to complement a scene or a character. I only have two songs that I'd like to share because it's better than not sharing at all. Please if you have any song that really stood out when you read Faelorehn by Jenna Elizabeth Johnson please leave a comment below. I will also link the review I wrote for the novel here

This is just an amazingly soft and sweet song that sets the mood of the novel.

"And I'm lost, broken down the middle of my heart"
