The multi-point of view from different characters gives such a refreshing perspectives on Kit & Tully's universe, their relationship and stand regarding them. Having Felice's POV in the 3rd novella of the series is a pleasant surprise itself! She's the least favorite character for me throughout the 1st and 2nd book, but the 3rd book changed everything as we dive close into what happened in her mind and her life. There's a lot of layers discovered, and I'm glad that she got the chance to be the narrator.

First Album still consists of whirlwind of romances, music, and the involvement of the Celtic god/myth itself in stirring Kit & Tully's path of life--where all the main characters now have gone separate ways. It also tells us more stories about Felice's family and her internal conflicts regarding her choice of art college, family, and navigating relationships with the boy she met at art college or the singer of her previous obsessed band member.

Once again, Mocha Von Bee has manage to write an interesting novella that still filled with mystic, magic and makes you second guessing everything wanting for more!

This is an interesting continuation to the Kit and Tully series from Felice's perspective. Felice tells her side of the story of how everything started and how everything is going. Though short, it sucks you in, and you want to keep reading to find out how Kit and Tully's story will end.

This is the third book in the Kit & Tully Series. Mocha is a brilliant writer and I really enjoy her writing.
I loved how the novel was short enough to read in one sitting and how you get to know the characters. I also loved that the chapters are short, which makes for easy reading. These book just keep getting better. Next up book 4! Highly recommend this series.



Thank you NetGalley and Indie Ink for allowing me to read this ARC for my honest opinion.

First Album is written by Mocha VonBee is the third book in the Kit and Tully series. This book was actually read from Felices point of view for this book. I think it's because the story of Kit and Tully wants the focus there but was there in the background. Felice was one of my favorite characters in the other books and I liked that this book gave her a lot of layers. I love the nice brief chapters and Mocha VonBee’s writing style and I can't wait to see what happens next for this group of friends! The series continues being mysterious, compelling, and lots of fun to read! With well written three-dimensional characters, 1990s Irish setting, friendship, love, secrets, art, music, and Celtic Mythology. I highly recommend this book and series! I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Another lovely short book in this great series about love and friendship. Kit and Tully's relationship definitely took a bit of a backseat in this one as we follow Kit's best friend Felice, but we do get to see a bit of what happens to them after the events of the last book and it doesn't seem odd if you go into it knowing this book is more about getting to know Felice. I did really like getting to know her more and seeing her true perspective on things, not just what she says to people (although it's often not that different haha). Seeing what her life is really like made it a lot easier to see why she asks the way she does in the earlier books. I still love the nice short chapters and Mocha's writing style and I can't wait to see what happens next for this group of friends!

Another great addition to the Kit and Tully series from Mocha. Thought I missed Tully as our main narrator when reading the second book I actually liked reading from Felices point of view for this book. I think it's because the story of Kit and Tully wants the focus but was there in the background. Also Felice wasn't my favorite character in the other books this book gave her a lot of layers.
This book also reminded me of things that happened growing up, like the shut down of video rental shops. It's definitely a great nostalgia read if you grew up in the late 90s early 00s like it did. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book in the series and who we follow for that one.

another great entry in the Kit and Tully series, I was invested in what was going on during this book. It was what I enjoyed from the previous two books. I enjoyed how good Mocha Von Bee does when writing this and am glad I got to read this. The cover is beautifully done and the characters worked well in this universe. I look forward to read more from Mocha Von Bee.

"That clears something up in my head. It always struck me as odd that Kit and Spike didn’t know each other better growing up, given there is only a year between them and Mrs Lawless and old Mrs O’Toole are such bosom buddies. “My parents were too old to raise another child. They did their best but I could sense they didn’t really want me. I just didn’t know why. In a way, it was a relief to find out the truth.” He gulps his Guinness down and my heart contracts. Spike is good at hiding pain, but this whole situation is hurting him more than he wants to admit."

Am I reading this right? Why is this book so short?
I know it’s the third book in a series but it’s really short I want to cry!

The writing is really good! And I didn’t expect to like most of the characters (young and old) in this ya series. But I do. I am quite surprised.

The story has come to the stage of closures and the characters are more outspoken.

They are going to go different ways and they have to choose either love or music. I don’t know why we need to do this but I also understand why.

The writing is really good I am saying this again. Go get the series. I feel you will be surprised with how good but how short each book is.

I feel the series will be enjoyed more by readers of younger young adult books.

Thank you, Indie Ink, for the advance reading copy.
