Narrative Conducive To Books The Disenchantments
Colby and Bev have a long-standing pact: graduate, hit the road with Bev's band, and then spend the year wandering around Europe. But moments after the tour kicks off, Bev makes a shocking announcement: she's abandoning their plans - and Colby - to start college in the fall. But the show must go on and The Disenchantments weave through the Pacific Northwest, playing in small towns and dingy venues, while roadie- Colby struggles to deal with Bev's already-growing distance and the most important question of all: what's next? Morris Award–finalist Nina LaCour draws together the beauty and influences of music and art to brilliantly capture a group of friends on the brink of the rest of their lives.List Books As The Disenchantments

4.5/5i found myself doing something id not done in the longest time while reading a book. i normally just zip through these then throw out the points thats left an impact on me. usually, i come away with what i liked and didnt like (an isa meets so and so plus highlights, if you will.) but this one? this one had me reaching for my pen to jot down thoughts i didnt want let by. and while ive ended up with another one of my meet the characters (here: colby and bev) thing, im not complaining becauseI really thought I would love this book and give it at least 4 stars. I mean it's by Nina LaCour - one of my top 5 favorite YA authors - and has so many of my buzzwords; music, road trip, Pacific Northwest... yes please!Sadly these characters just were not for me the way the characters of her other novels were. I think I read this book at the wrong time in my life, I probably should have read it about 9 years ago.Ultimately I did not find this compelling in any way. Le sigh.
This cover screams Fun in the Sun! This blurb screams Road Trip and Music! So I was going into this expecting a light, fun, read. It's nothing like that. It has it's fun moments for sure, but the story is very sad bordering on depressing with a deep "finding oneself" message. This is not a bad thing at all. In fact I often enjoy books with this vibe, but going into this with opposite expectations really threw me for a loop.The story is told in Colby's point-of-view. He and his best friend Bev

3.5*Loved the quirky characters and the whole band touring thing, but at times I found the characters to be almost unbelievably 'cool'. They were just a bit too picture perfect at times I guess, if that makes sense. Video review to come.
