Eleanor Wells writes a magnificent tale with All Our Yesterdays
In All Our Yesterdays, the reader is introduced to Marcy Lewis. She's 18 and coming of age, and trying to figure out her purpose in life, and the direction she wants to go in. I haven't read anything by this author before, and what a hidden gem. I enjoyed it so much, that I have now followed the author and look forward to this author writing more books, as this is her debut novel. And what a story it is. Marcy is young, and impressionable, and having grew up in Minnesota, she isn't sure what is out in the world for her, so she goes to New York City, with her sister. Her life changes, and the experience of the bright lights and big city, and falling for a musician. I loved this story, and remember being Marcy's age, with the world at her fingertips, but uncertain about who she is and where she wants to go, and who she wants to be. Marcy grows throughout the story, through a process of self discovery, and if she wants to just be a muse for a musician, or something more. A reader can get lost in the story. This story is amazing and outstanding. I really liked Marcy, and was a bit leery of Cole, and the end of the story just leaves you surprised, and satisfied. The characters are so real, it's like being with them within the story. The reader just embarks on a superb journey. This is one of those books that grabs you from the start and pulls you in. This journey was very unpredictable.
About the Book:
An artistic free spirit must grapple with her sense of identity as the music she inspires her boyfriend to make propels him to stardom at the turn of the twenty-first century.
It's the summer of 1999 in rural Minnesota, and eighteen-year-old Marcy Lewis is at a crossroads. Having graduated high school without committing to college, she wonders about the meaning of her life and what she is meant to achieve. On a trip with her sister to New York City, she meets up-and-coming musician Cole Hargrove, and the spark between the two of them is instantaneous. After Cole is inspired to write songs about her, he becomes one of the biggest names in music. As Marcy is thrust into a world of wealth and fame unlike anything she’s ever known, she finds herself torn between her sense of identity and status as one of pop’s greatest muses.
A nostalgic and moving look at the intersection of romance, art, and coming-of-age in one's twenties, fans of Daisy Jones and the Six, Normal People, and La La Land are sure to delight.
