Philophobia brought me back to my early 20’s and how it felt to be in a new, romantic relationship with someone who felt like they were my whole entire world in an overwhelming way! I loved how the author used song titles as names of chapters and focused so heavily on the importance of music. Was truly impressed with this young author in her debut novel.

This was a nice easy read and I enjoyed the storyline between the two love interests. The ending allowed me to imagine what would happen to them in the long run. I also liked the use of songs as chapters!

That felt like it was written about the toxic relationship I had in my early 20s and I loved every second of it. This was spicy.
