Taylor's had his own share of challenges, including a life-altering accident that has brought his hopes of competing at the Winter Olympics to a halt.
Isolde responds to Taylor, to be polite. But what starts out as heartbreak-themed Spotify playlists and shared stories of exes quickly becomes something more.
And as Taylor and Isolde start to lean on each other, the distance between them begins to feel not so distant after all ...
Lately I have found myself getting more and more disappointed with YA novels and a lot of the time reading them feels like a waste of time. That is what I was expecting to feel when reading The Long Distance Playlist but I loved it. The story takes you to the stunning glaciers in Queenstown, and the shores of Sydney and discusses the ups and downs that are a part of family, following your passions, mental health and teenage friendships/ relationships.
This book was charming, delightful and heartwarming. Isolde and Taylor were such beautiful characters, and I loved watching their relationship blossom from childhood friends into something more. I connected with the characters on a deep level, as being a passionate singer I have felt all of the emotions that Isolde and Taylor have felt about in regards to their individual passions. This book discussed mental health and disability which is so important, and I would have loved to see a bit more of it. Another thing I LOVED about this book was that there was no swearing and mature content like there is in soooo many YA novels! The characters were much more realistic for their age, and are great role models for young people everywhere. Fantastic book which I totally recommend to all YA enthusiasts!
