Although Naomi was in the last book, this can definitely be read as a stand alone book from the other Beautiful Series novels. Although I highly recommend reading the others. A Beautiful Melody was packed full of drama that all stemmed from their high school years. I can't even imagine allowing something that happened when I was 17 carrying over into my life now but this story's foundation does just that. Love triangles are always complicated and sometimes they end messy. In the case of A Beautiful Melody, it ends in a hot mess. I enjoyed the journey as violinist Naomi joined the band Matiari. The sad storyline involves Naomi discovering her high school crush Marcus (front man for the band) is brothers with the one guy she has loved Theo (drummer/leader of the band). Things get real messy as we learn that both brothers are in love with Naomi and have fought over her for years. Now as they are all playing together and getting ready to go on tour, they have to try and put their feelings aside for the sake of the band. But as we learn, that's easier said than done and that is why this story was so great. All of the tension added another layer to this book and kept you turning the pages. When everything blows up in the end, it leaves you heartbroken and waiting to see how it all plays out in the next book. I was given a free ARC of A Beautiful Melody for an honest review. Lilliana Anderson has done it again! It was an entertaining and easy read. I discovered this talented author by accident when I stumbled onto A Beautiful Struggle, so I was pleasantly surprised to find the Beautiful story was to continue with a series, although each can also stand-alone. I find her writing to be vivid and realistic. She writes emotional stories with spice, and her characters tend to stay with me, even after I have finished the last page. When I stopped reading to carry on with my own life, I found myself thinking about their conversations and recalled them as if I had been a part of the exchange. I enjoyed this story start to finish, not a bad page or paragraph to be found. I hope there is more coming soon... I fear I am addicted.
