Mr B's review
When Darren’s favourite country music star and idol Decklee Cassel dies and leaves the world with a time capsule scavenger hunt with three million dollars and a missing album, Darren doesn’t hesitate. She calls the only friend left in town with a car, her colleague at the gas station Kendall, and hits the open road to Memphis, Tennessee.
Told in alternating perspectives between Darren’s roadtrip and Decklee’s rise to fame, this is a story made for summer. Road trips, escaping small town life, country music, romance in the air…this is the perfect teen romance with extremely relatable characters.
Coming from a small southern town myself, I was so impressed with Voris’s ability in writing setting. Every time I opened the book, I instantly became homesick for the place I left. She just hit the nail on the head.
Liv and I buddy read this and have had so much fun discussing and gushing. When asked if Liv would like to contribute to my review, she said, “This is Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo meets Dolly Parton. Yeehaw! – Hannah

Seventeen-year-old aspiring journalist Darren Purchase is looking for a news story to launch her career and get her out of her sti fling small town.
When her country music idol Decklee Cassel dies leaving behind a trail of cross-country musical clues to her final album, Darren sees her opportunity for fame and freedom. All she needs is a car, though the only driver she knows is her annoying co-worker, Kendall . . .
As Darren and Kendall get closer to the prize – and each other – everything Darren thought she knew about the woman she idolized begins to unravel.
What actually happened to Decklee’s songwriting partner? And who were all those soul-stirring love songs written for?
