Synopsis

“A pitch-perfect read for fans of Taylor Swift.” —Katy Hays, New York Times bestselling author of The CloistersA dream worth chasing. An impossible choice. The song that will change it all.When aspiring musician Twyla Higgins arrives in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1977, the nineteen-year-old Texan is dazzled by the fringe-and-rhinestones country music scene. Live music flows from bars, open mic nights tempt with the chance of stardom, and record label execs seek the next hot new act. With nothing but the songs in her head and her daddy's guitar, Twyla finds her way in the vibrant, but cutthroat, music business. A chance meeting with a rakish singer and son of blue-blooded Nashvillians veers Twyla off path and into a dizzying romance. Caught between the dream she’s always wanted and the affection she's always craved, Twyla must decide what future she wants for herself. But when her song is stolen by a rival and hits the country music charts, how much will she sacrifice to take back what's hers?Seductive, bold, and immersive, The Last Verse is the story of a woman’s love, ambition, and determination to claim her voice.

4 1/2 Hmm. First note. Never trust a book’s blurb. 😏 I was about to take Twyla’s last name from the blurb when I thought to myself: “That isn’t right. I’m sure it was Higgins.” Haha It is Higgins (or at least in my edition). The King of Rock and Roll is dead. It’s 1977. Twyla Higgins, an aspiring sing......more

Goodreads review by Rebel on March 16, 2024

Well this one threw me. I expected the story to be one thing and it went completely in the opposite direction. Normally I would say this was a good thing. However, in this instance I was hoping for the story to have stayed the course that I wanted. The beginning was great. Twyla is a young woman who......more
