I loved this book. Layla was such an easy character to like. She was fierce and finally finding herself and what she wanted out of life. I though Josh as wonderful. He was a man that worked hard for what he had in life and was wiling to work to keep his family together. The idea of starting over and finding out who you really are was what made me love this book. Layla and Josh had very different ending to their marriages, but both need to take time to see what they really wanted and who they were.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for this advance e-reader copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

I received this book "Heard It in a Love Song" from NetGalley and all opinions expressed are my own. So "The Girl He Used to Know" was a big favorite of mine. This book is also a good one, a beautiful love story about second chances. The words flowed smoothly and I looked forward to reading this each day. And of course, one of my favorite songs is the title! Love Marshall Tucker!

I have read several of Tracy Garvis Graves books and I really enjoyed this one. The book is beautifully written and flowed well.
Layla is new divorced trying to find her identity after a 10-year marriage. Josh is a getting divorced after 20 years of marriage to his childhood sweetheart.
They are both hurting and trying to find a new life. This is different kind of love story. I read this in just a couple of settings and I highly recommend it.
Thank you, Net Galley, for an advanced copy for an honest review.

Another fanatics read written by Tracey Garvis Graves. She is one of my favorite authors, who writes amazing stories that touch your soul.

I absolutely loved Tracey Garvis Graves's "The Girl He Used to Know," so I had high expectations for this, and I am happy to report that it lived up to all of them. This was so beautifully written and just magical. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. Layla was such as relatable and lovable character. I connected with her immediately. Her relationship with Josh felt so honest in its complexities. The whole book just felt really real and honey and resonated with me in a way most romance novels don't.

I would definitely recommend it to all romance readers!

Thank you Tracey Garvis Graves, NetGalley, and St. Martin's Press, for the ARC and the chance to review this lovely book!

I like how this book is laid out. As I’ve come to expect with Tracey Garvis Graves, the characters are wonderfully normal and real. As a former musician, I felt Layla to my very core. I miss my music! I loved that she got out there and played to her heart’s content . The descriptions are delicious and the dialog flows beautifully. There was lots of introspection, though not too much and it wasn’t as repetitive as some books have gotten lately. However, it was kind of predictable. You’ll love the characters and fall easily into this story.

I really loved this novel about a woman finally set free from a horrible marriage and her desire to seek the future in music that she lost. She also meets a man who appreciates who she is and what she wants.
Skillfully and wonderfully written.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I really loved this one for the pure fact that it was one of the best friends to lovers / slow burn that I have ever read. The connection that these characters (and the secondary characters) shared was a breath of fresh air.

I didn't love how the story was told (in the e-arc version). There was a present time and then in italics there would be a brief past time. I would almost prefer to read this book in alternating time frames. I feel like the past could have brought a lot more to the future than it did.

Regardless-- I loved this book. I always love Tracey's writing and she always creates distinct and complex characters that we can all relate to. If slow burn / friends to lovers are yours type of stories that you enjoy to read, I would 100% recommend this one.

After loving this author’s previous books, I was thrilled by the chance t read and review her upcoming 2021 release. While this book definitely has a slower pace, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I enjoyed the unique timeline between the present day of two newly divorced individuals and the past of their failed relationships.

The characters were strong, unique, and as a reader, I could feel their struggle against the newness of being on their own again. Divorce isn’t often written about in this way, and I’m sure its story will be relatable and appreciated by many who have been through it themselves.

The history of one of the characters as a band member turned music teacher was a fun and unique sub-story. While I wouldn’t call this one a page-turner, I most definitely enjoyed it!

Thank you to St. Martin's Press for my gifted copy. I plan on sharing my full review on my website genthebookworm.com closer to its November publication date.

This book was beautiful. Two lonely people not ready for a relationship but, ready for something. Layla is newly divorced and finding her way. Finding out what she wants and doesn't want from life. Josh is going through a divorce but, he's also lonely and searching for something but, isn't sure what. all they know is that they enjoy spending time together. This book gives hope for a second chance at finding that special love. I loved the way this book was written. Giving insight into the previous relationships yet now dwelling on old hurts. Great characters and a really enjoyable book.

I am a huge fan of Tracey Garvis Graves - she never disappoints, and Heard It In A Love Song was a fantastic read as usual!

This story piggybacks Layla and Josh. Both are going through divorces. I loved how Layla began to find herself post divorce and rediscover how much of an impact music has on her. And when she meets Josh (and his daughter Sasha, and let's not forget to mention Norton), things develop organically.

This is a love story that was very real. I always think that while reading one of the author's books. I can't wait for this to be published in print so I can own a physical copy and recommend to friends!

Love to read this authors books. This one made your heart melt .
Thanks to author, publisher and NetGalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free, it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

I’ve been a fan of Tracey Garvis Graves for some time now. I was getting ready to do a re-read of Heart Shaped Hack when I got an email that this book was available on Netgalley.

This book did not disappoint. I’m not always a fan of flashbacks, but it worked here. There was no drama. It was simply a story about Layla and Josh navigating through their new circumstances in life. However the way it was written just kept me wanting more.

5 stars for fans of Nicolas Sparks. It's not a genre I usually read and I didn't expect it from this author. Normally her books require more research and when I finished the book and read the acknowledgements she actually shared that she enjoyed writing something that didn't require so much research!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an early release in exchange for a fair and honest review.
