At Santa Cruz Central High School, they called them the misfits, the outcasts, the weirdos. But most of us knew them as the Lost Boys...

Miller Stratton is a survivor. After a harrowing childhood of poverty, he will do anything it takes to find security for himself and his mom. He’s putting all his hopes and dreams in the fragile frame of his guitar and the beauty he creates with its strings and his soulful voice.

Until Violet.

No one expects to meet the love of their life at age thirteen. But the spunky rich girl steals Miller’s heart and refuses to give it back.

Violet McNamara’s life hasn’t been as simple as it looks. Her picture-perfect family is not so perfect after all. Her best friend Miller is her one constant and she is determined not to ruin their friendship with romantic complications.

But the heart wants what it wants. As Miller’s star begins to rise to stratospheric heights, what will it take for Violet to realize that she’s the girl in all of his love songs?

Lost Boys is a new series of interconnected, coming-of-age standalones from USA Today bestselling author Emma Scott, coming in 2020 

Review: 

I love Emma Scott's writing. Her books never fail to pull at your heart strings. They are the kind of stories that make you dissapear into the book and forget reality because all you can focus on is the story and the characters. She makes you feel everything they are feeling so strongly, and not many books can get that reaction from me anymore. But my heart was racing through a lot of this book. 

"If we were all born perfect and wise, always making the right decisions and never any mistakes, there wouldn't be much point in living, would there?" 

"Life's a journey, not a destination."

It was difficult to read at times because I was feeling everything that they were in the moment, but I couldn't put it down. The kind of books that can draw this type of reaction from me are a huge part of why I love to read. 

"She was in every part of me that was whole and good, and what was broken in me, she had dedicated her life to healing."

I loved this book so much. This isn't just a book about a boy and a girl falling in love and growing up together. Miller and Violets story is full of so much more. Both of them have their own deep struggles in life. They are juggling much more than just their feelings for each other. I think the issues that these characters deal with, especially Miller, was written very well. 

The character development was phenomenal as well. The pace of the book was just perfect. It moved so smoothly, and Violet and Millers transition and growth throughout the story was done so amazingly well.  

"Miller and I ebbed and flowed, but we always came back. Inevitable as the tide and beautiful in the end."

This book will captivate you from page one. Their story is a hard and rocky one, but it's one of those that will stick with you. This book is so emotional and packed with so many important things and topics. Emma did a fantastic job with Miller and Violets story. I can not wait for the rest of the lost boys stories. I know they will be just as heart-wrenching.
