Tracing Holland by Alyson SantosMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Luke’s Story
I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
This is a continuation of the story in the first NSB Book, with Luke joining NSB (along with Callie) on tour again for the first time since his break down. On this tour is several other bands and we get to meet them during this book. Tracing Holland is one of the bands that join them and the lead singer Holland is a highly talented, kind and brutally honest woman. Holland and Luke are instantly attracted to each other but understand that Luke’s baggage makes being together a really bad idea, so they try being friends.
There are lots of ups and downs to their relationship and it is affected by others, mainly Wes, Holland’s ex and fellow band mate who dislikes Luke intensely for his torrid past.
One of the other bands, Limelight, is on their first arena tour as a support act and show great promise. Jesse, their lead singer becomes a sort of protege for Luke and he shares his hard earned wisdom with Jesse as he starts to follow a very similar path to Luke’s.
I like that this book includes the outside world, after the first book focused so tightly on just three main characters. This shows how Luke’s mental health is improving but is still shaky despite his work with a counsellor.
I like how we see Luke’s progress. Holland is a nice character, sometimes a little too nice. She is very forgiving, maybe a little bit too forgiving (hence the drop of half a star) but other than that trait, she was great.
This was an interesting, entertaining and compelling book.
