Omg!!! I fell in love with everything about this book from the very beginning🥹 the characters, the setting, and the concerts - everything fit together seamlessly to create not only a fun story but one packed with all sorts of emotions (in the best way). Now all I need is to find a real Mellow Cat Kitchen!!!
My concert and romance book loving little heart is so happy after reading this book!!!! I love Ethan and Heather so much. I absolutely loved the witty banter between the two of them. They both made each other better in so many ways. They lifted the other when they were down. It was such a beautiful story. What a cool concept of putting songs with the chapters!!! I listened to each one after I read the chapter and it was so fun seeing how it related to what I read. I want more from this world!!!!! I loved everything about it!!!!
Easy to read but had great details still. Relevant ages, struggles, life situations, and terms that were relatable. Loved the songs with each chapter and connections to music throughout the entire story!!!
This was a fun story. I liked the hard headed Heather and the nerdy Ethan, they played off each other well. I also loved the music setting, I’ve not read anything from this POV of the music industry before so it was a nice change.
