Book description
Their love for music sparked a curse...

Why read it?
1 author picked Lyrics & Curses as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The author describes this book as Pretty in Pink meets Stranger Things—and I must agree! The story takes place in the 80s, and as a child of the 80s myself, that makes me love it even more. Lyrics & Curses is the perfect balance of romance and mystery (and epic 80’s music) that will keep you guessing until the very end. If you’re looking for something quirky and dark, this book may be the perfect fit for you. L&C is the first in a YA duology suitable for younger readers.
From Jenny's list on romance with cursed love.
