Genres: Contemporary, LGBTQ+, Young Adult
In Miel Moreland’s heartfelt young adult debut, It Goes Like This, four queer teens realize that sometimes you have to risk hitting repeat on heartbreak.
Eva, Celeste, Gina, and Steph used to think their friendship was unbreakable. After all, they’ve been though a lot together, including the astronomical rise of Moonlight Overthrow, the world-famous queer pop band they formed in middle school, never expecting to headline anything bigger than the county fair.
But after a sudden falling out leads to the dissolution of the teens’ band, their friendship, and Eva and Celeste’s starry-eyed romance, nothing is the same. Gina and Celeste step further into the spotlight, Steph disappears completely, and Eva, heartbroken, takes refuge as a songwriter and secret online fangirl…of her own band. That is, until a storm devastates their hometown, bringing the four ex-best-friends back together. As they prepare for one last show, they’ll discover whether growing up always means growing apart.

Review of It Goes Like This
Review (5 Stars): This was such a great story and it shows how easily people can grow apart as they are growing up. I’ve always been fascinated by the music industry and you can see over the course of this story how a band can rise to fame and just as easily lose their shining light. I loved each of these characters and I was surprised that communication was a huge issue to their demise in the first place. It Goes Like This was an entertaining read and I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next.
