Tia Williams outdid herself with this book. The words read like a beautiful song for sure. I enjoyed every single character except for Ricki's sisters. I don't know where to start with this book. On top of the beautiful words, I laughed out loud so many times.
There were so many gems hidden in the pages and I highlighted a few. I never highlight phrases but I needed to commit a few of these to my memory. I wanted Della Bennett to be my grandmother too! Della came into Ricki's life at exactly the right time. We all need a Della in our lives. When Della spoke of her late husband, Dr. Bennett she described her love for him as music she could listen to forever.
The friendship between Tuesday and Ricki was just as much of a joy to read as her falling in love with Ezra. Ricki and Ezra had an instant chemistry but not the insta love kind. They had an immediate soul-deep connection. I rounded my review down to a 4.5 because there was a weird turn in the story I didn't think we needed. A Love Song for Ricki Wilde is a book that hits in all the right places. We are only a month into 2024 and this has been my favorite book, thus far. Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to review this ARC.
