Our Song by Jordanna Fraiberg

Our Song

Olive Bell has spent her entire life in the beautiful suburb of Vista Valley, with a picture-perfect home, a loving family, and a seemingly perfect boyfriend. But after a near-fatal car accident, she’s haunted by a broken heart and a melody that she cannot place.
Then Olive meets Nick. He’s dark, handsome, mysterious . . . and Olive feels connected to him in a way she can’t explain. Is there such a thing as fate? The two embark on a whirlwind romance—until Nick makes a troubling confession.
Heartbroken, Olive pieces together what really happened the night of her accident and arrives at a startling revelation. Only by facing the truth can she uncover the mystery behind the song and the power of what it means to love someone.

This is the first of Fraiberg’s books that I’ve read, and it won’t be the last. Our Song was a quick read that left me wanting more. This novel, though a good summer read, isn’t necessarily a “light” one. Our Song deals with more serious issues, however, the issues are blanketed by a beautiful romance.

This book is more character-driven than plot-driven, so it’s important that the characters were well developed. In the beginning of the novel, Olive struck me as being kind of weak- to the point where it was annoying me. She was hung up on her boyfriend who wasn’t talking to her, and she didn’t want to move on with her life. As the novel progresses, she ends up moving past all of that, and becomes a more likeable character. Nick was wonderfully dark and mysterious. He also annoyed me a bit (because of all the mysterious brooding), but it worked for him. Oliver and Nick’s relationship was fantastic. They both helped each other come to terms with things in their past, and assisted each other in the process of moving on. I loved it.

Our Song is a beautiful, touching, haunting novel that you won’t be able to put down. Jordanna Fraiberg is an extremely talented author. She nailed her sophomore novel. I haven’t read her first book, In Your Room. But after reading Our Song, I definitely want to get my hands on a copy of her first book.
