Told in dual POV's , "Claire's Song" tells a story of hope, despair, suicide, and love married with music.

Claire lost her bestfriend, Jamie to suicide and instead of dealing with it she buries it. Until she meets Ryder. Ryder is known for an attempted rape and he has the same viciously sad eyes Jamie had before he took his own life.

While I wasn't blown away by the novel I found it enjoyable enough. The characters are particularly deep but I think their emotions and feelings come across pretty clearly. It's not a happy go lucky romance but I'm not sure that it was intended to be.

Although the romance was a little insta-love-ish somehow it works for the two characters who are in a sort of race against the clock unbeknownst to one of them.

I appreciated the references to both contemporary and old music. I also liked the way the author dealt with the subject of cutting. She never got too gore-y but she never downplayed the emotions attached to it. She tried to keep it as realistic as possible, which I liked.

It was a bit angst-y and at some points depressing but it doesn't exactly ruin the story, at least it didn't for me . It has it's shining moments and it has it's down moments. All in all it's a decent novel that's worth reading.
4 stars! Claire’s Song is such a sweet story, yet laced with sadness. I loved the happy combined with the raw emotion of grief. The two emotions intertwined throughout, and I loved how the happy came out on top by the ending.

Plot, Pacing, and Style Oh, how I love characters with some emotional baggage, and this one fit the bill perfectly. Claire lost her best friend to suicide and is now a social outcast. Ryder also found himself a social outcast because of a dysfunctional family life that led to him getting accused of some very unsavory things. Both are barely going through the motions until they meet each other…and a part of them each awakens.

The pacing throughout the story was really good as I found myself not even realizing I was turning the pages, but it was a little thrown off by the quickly changing dual POVs. I would have liked to stay in one head for longer periods of time, but I got on board with it because the story itself was so good.

Main Characters I loved both Ryder and Claire. Both were beautiful, but too damaged to realize it in themselves. However, they picked up on it immediately in each other. Both have been brought down by tragedies and hard times, yet both were strong enough to keep going. I loved how Claire was so fiesty, and she was like a dog with a bone when she knew Ryder was holding back from her. I also loved that as hard as Ryder tried, he couldn’t help but soften up when he was around Claire. This just shows how perfect they were for each other.

Romance/Chemistry Sweet is the best way I can describe the love in this story. It was tender and meaningful, but the greedy romantic in me wishes there had been more touching, more hugging…more of the physical. These two were connected and in love, and sometimes some serious hand holding and smooches can bring a story to the next level without going over the bounds of YA. I also loved the draw that both Ryder and Claire had from the very beginning, and neither seemed apologetic about it. This chemistry is what made the romance so special, because not only did they connect as friends, but they had a very strong attraction too…which brings me back to being the greedy reader and wanting more. ;)

Title/Cover Perfect and perfect. I won’t lie, it was the cover that attracted me to this book in the first place, but after reading the story it fits beautifully, just as the title does too.

Ending It was perfect. Just the right amount of sweet to make my heart sing, but it wasn’t over the top so it stayed totally real. The characters are both facing their issues and working on getting through them. They know they have so much ahead of them, but the fact that they acknowledged everything made it totally work for me.

Gripes/suggestions There were 2 things for me that could have made this story go from really good, to really super awesome. The first was that the POVs changed up too much. I got used to it by the end of the book, but in the beginning while I was trying to settle into the story I felt a little like I had whiplash going back and forth between Ryder and Claire. In my opinion, it would have worked better to keep each POV going longer, even if it meant not seeing something through the eyes as the author originally planned. It would have helped the story flow more smoothly.

The second thing that would push the novel into the next category for me was that it needs another round of edits. I don’t mind some errors, but the to/too one popped up way too many times for me. Please, don’t let this deter you from reading this book. If that does you will be missing out! But in all seriousness, one more round could make this really good story so much more polished, and do it some serious justice.

Final Thoughts/Rec it? Yes, yes, yes! Claire’s Song is a love story that is full of hope despite circumstances that could bring anyone down. A great addition to your TBR.
As always, a great book written by Ashley King!! Such a touching story of what true love can do!! Great job on this book!!
