Why read it?

2 authors picked The Girl in the Love Song as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love Emma Scott stories not only because they are amazeballs, but also because she’s a pretty incredible human being with her own incredible story. But be warned, her words don’t hold back any punches. I often want to scream and tear my hair out as I’m reading, but in the end, I have the largest smile on my face. Emma Scott knows how to find the perfect ending to her stunning stories.

Well, because the hero of the story has type 1 diabetes and so does my son. The story was empathetically written, and the research was accurate. It was also good to see an author write an inspirational story about a hero with disabilities. I did this myself with Gibson Barclay in Gibson’s Legacy and had positive feedback from readers who have, or their children have ADHD. 

From K.L.'s list on managing a romance book hangover.
