#BookReview: Dear Future Self by Lisa Becker

About the Book

People think they know Jase Connors. Former front man for Kings Quarters. Successful solo artist. Consummate playboy. What they don’t know is he’s tired from road life. Tired of road life. Just plain tired.

When a beloved high school teacher passes away, Jase returns to his Midwestern childhood home to honor the teacher’s final wishes. Sparks fly when he’s reunited with his childhood best friend, Cami, and is forced to confront choices that made him the man he is today.

Dear Future Self is a 23,000-word novella spin-off of award-winning Starfish: A Rock Star Romance. It can be read as a stand-alone and guarantees a happily ever after. (For mature readers only)

My Review

I have read Starfish and also Lisa Becker’s other books, and Dear Future Self was a quick and fresh novella that I enjoyed. It does pick up shortly after where Starfish left off, but I do think you can read it as a standalone – though I also recommend the first book! Novellas can be tricky sometimes because I tend to feel we don’t get information to really understand the characters, but I didn’t feel disengaged at any point while reading. I actually found myself wishing it was maybe a little longer, because I really had fun understanding the dynamic between Jase and Cami. A fast read you can breeze through and that I found very entertaining.
