What if your life is working from the inside out?
Jessie is an underage runaway living in a trailer that is messy in the way that only teenagers can be messy. She lives with her loyal pitbull, Bear, and works at a record store. She’s also in a band, and hoping to get her big break soon at a music festival in Memphis.
This coming-of-age type story quickly turns thriller when Jessie is forced to fight for her life, thanks to a ring sent to her by her mom that’s also being hunted by someone else.
I thought Julie Starr made the storyline work, and I really liked the creativity behind it. I also really liked the everyday magic. But the book can be a bit cliché and dramatic at times.
“In front of an audience, Jessie felt alive in a way she couldn’t describe; the rest of the time she felt like a star waiting to shine.”
The writing wasn’t anything special, but it wasn’t bad either. Overall, Magic to Memphis was a pretty average book.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
