Going Home Again Blog Tour


Today I am reviewing Abby Cavenaugh's debut Adult Contemporary novel, Going Home Again. Published by Swoon Romance, its a beautiful love story about two people who find a true love neither thought would happen for them.

Ms. Cavenaugh deftly weaves a story of a high school crush that blooms into so much more between journalist Alyssa Jones and pop-star Michael Day. Her characters jump off the page and into your heart because she paints them through the lens of reality and not fantasy. Letting go of his past failure and choosing to be with Alyssa is not all smooth sailing for either Michael or Alyssa and I like that Ms. Cavenaugh chooses to showcase the imperfect part of a perfect love story.  I highly recommend you add this to your 'to read' list. You can find it at Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

My mini playlist for Going Home Again
Maybe its just me but I find that music and novels have an important connection. When I curl up with a good book I can't put down like Going Home Again, I can't help but have certain songs come to mind. Inevitably I create a playlist to go with the book, sort of as a memory I can take a long of the story and relive the great moments from the book.

Here is my mini- playlist for Alyssa and Michael's love story:



More about the book: 
In high school, it was doubtful Michael Day knew Alyssa Jones existed. 

Twenty years later, when the now-famous pop star returns home to coastal North Carolina, Alyssa gets a second chance to make a first impression on Michael. 

On sabbatical from his failing marriage, Michael agrees to an interview with Alyssa, a journalist for the local tourist magazine. 

When the chemistry between them ignites, Alyssa and Michael are hit with the harsh reality that he isn't yet free to love her. 

With Michael's wife and son still very much in the picture, can Alyssa hold out until he ends his marriage for good? Or will she risk it all for a second chance with the one who got away?
