Recommendation
I bawled my eyes out reading this book. Seriously, I think Brittainy C. Cherry might be the only author who has made me cry with EVERY SINGLE BOOK I’ve read of hers. But in all honesty, if you don’t cry on Frenchman St. at least once reading this book, I’m convinced you have no soul!!!! A fantastic and emotional story about how life can be cruel and our path is not always our choice, but love, time and patience can heal and save us. All the feels y’all… ALL. THE. FEELS.
Excerpts
Every person had lyrics in their life that were too hard to sing.
You’re the music in a mute world, and my heart beats because you’re here.
Whenever I thought of home, I didn’t think of a place; I thought of people, the ones who shaped us into the people we were meant to become, the ones who loved us with our scars and told us those scars were beautiful, the ones who allowed us to make mistakes and still loved us fully.
Publisher synopsis
When I first met Jasmine Greene, she came in as raindrops.
I was the awkward musician, and she was the high school queen.
The only things we had in common were our music and our loneliness.
Something in her eyes told me her smile wasn’t always the truth.
Something in her voice gave me a hope I always wished to find.
And in a flash, she was gone.
Years later, she was standing in front of me on a street in New Orleans.
She was different, but so was I. Life made us colder. Harder. Isolated.
Caged.
Even though we were different, the broken pieces of me recognized the sadness in her.
Now she was back, and I wouldn’t make the mistake of letting her go again.
When I first met Jasmine Greene, she came in as raindrops.
When we met again, I became her darkest storm.
