From Tracey Garvis Graves, the bestselling author of The Girl He Used to Know comes a love song of a story about starting over and second chances in Heard It in a Love Song.

Love doesn’t always wait until you’re ready.

Layla Hilding is thirty-five and recently divorced. Struggling to break free from the past—her glory days as the lead singer in a band and a ten-year marriage to a man who never put her first—Layla’s newly found independence feels a lot like loneliness.

Then there's Josh, the single dad whose daughter attends the elementary school where Layla teaches music. Recently separated, he's still processing the end of his twenty-year marriage to his high school sweetheart. He chats with Layla every morning at school and finds himself thinking about her more and more.

Equally cautious and confused about dating in a world that favors apps over meeting organically, Layla and Josh decide to be friends with the potential for something more. Sounds sensible and way too simple—but when two people are on the rebound, is it heartbreak or happiness that’s a love song away?

Tracey Garvis Graves's Heard It in a Love Song is filled with so much warmth and so much hope, reading it feels like listening to your favorite song while curled up with someone you love.

A warm, witty story with plenty of heart and characters that jump off the page, Heard It in a Love Song hits all the right notes. --Meg Mitchell Moore, author of Two Truths and a Lie

One of my favorite romances ever

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2024

Verified Purchase

This book is a romance for people who think they don’t like romances. As a long-married lady, sometimes the current wave of love stories can hit me the wrong way with their youthful exuberance and head-in-the-clouds energy. I think this is why Heard It In A Love Song was a revelation to me. The characters were mature, starting over after divorce, very deliberative and straightforward in their communications, and determined not to rush into another mistake. Instead of thinking, "No don't do that!" for the whole book, I was cheering the characters on for being wise and honest and not playing games. You will love this book!

wasn't bad but it wasn't that great either

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2022

31/2 stars...It wasn't bad but it wasn't that great either. The novel follows the course of three relationships. The first, is the new relationship between Layla and Josh. You get to experience how a new relationship forms between two very nice people. As Layla and Josh's relationship unfolds you also get flashbacks on their failed relationships. Layla's relationship with Liam is the most frustrating. She pretty much married a narcissist who dominates their relationship with his wants and needs. I got pretty frustrated with Layla not leaving this horrible person. Josh's relationship with Kimmy is not as dramatic. Josh married his high school sweetheart. Their relationship is one of growing up and growing apart.

Hard to get into. An OK read.

I fell in love with Tracey Garvis Graves writing when I first read "On the Island." I enjoyed this story so much I'm a little sad it's over.

Every word she writes brings love to life. Kimmy and Josh, Liam and Layla. Both couples divorced and struggling to find themselves again.

Josh and Layla meet at school, where Josh's daughter Sasha attends and where Layla teaches music.

Layla grew up singing and playing music. She let her dream go and got married. A dream that she misses but not in the way she ever imagined. She and Josh become just friends, then that leads to dating. Kimmy, Josh's ex wife has suddenly had a change of heart. Josh and Layla take a break so that Josh can either move forward or take a step back.

In the end love and happiness will be the thing that decides everyone's fate.

Will it be the love sing they all hear?

A slow-building story to be savored - not a rush-through-it kind of read…

How do you learn what you really want?

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2022

Paula's a divorced music teacher that may want to be a rock star. Josh is an electrician that wants a divorce and to keep his family. Even adults have to figure things out. The author doesn't make it easy for them and I didn't. really know what was going to happen until the end. This was a book wasn't written for polished professionals, but for real people trying to make life work. I'll be looking forward to more books by this author.

Love is in the air!

🎧📚 Audiobook Review

Layla, a recent divorcee and music teacher, is processing the end of her 10 year marriage and her past as a lead singer in a band. Josh is a single dad in the midst of a divorce from his wife of 20 years. They meet when Layla begins teaching Josh’s daughter. They form a friendship and begin to explore if there could be something more.

This was a sweet book that captured me. The narrator did a great job with the different voices of the characters to draw me in. The flashbacks provided the events and heartaches that led to showing us the people they have become when they meet each other. I liked the story and the realistic way in which their relationship progressed. This was a slow to form romantic relationship.

I would recommend this book. Put it on you TBR.

This sort of plot had so much potential but it was drowned in the wrong narrative voice and focus.
