So this is my second book by this author. It was one of my choices for the Amazon First Reads this past month so I jumped on it. And then the publishers reached out to me about being a part of the tour and so I decided it was worth sharing what I thought with my readers and adding in extras from them like the excerpt above.

This book was definitely so good! There were so many things about this one that I loved. The first thing that popped up in the story was how the brothers had songs that they would listen to depending on their mood. And when they mentioned the CeeLo song, F*ck You, I was immediately sure I needed to go listen to every other song they mentioned. You see, I had exactly one review of my own novella, and the friend who wrote it took it down and unfriended me on Facebook for who knows why!!! So that song had actually been running through my head since right before I started reading this book. I have even made a playlist in my iTunes for my bad days, the songs I want to listen to when I’m mad and just need to get all the anger out through singing. So I totally got this part of the book!

When Oliver’s brother dies in a car crash, and people try to blame him? I was so angry at those people. I mean, Oliver wasn’t driving, he didn’t ask his brother to come along, nothing about that situation was his fault. Grr. But there was even more I really liked about Oliver. He was a great guy. He was depressed and he even mentioned when he talked to someone that he might have days where he didn’t want to be here, on Earth, but it didn’t mean he wanted to die. Didn’t mean he was suicidal, and I get that. I get that feeling too.

Emery and her daughter, I adored her daughter. Although I’m pretty sure just about every book I read these days with an adorable little kid, usually a little girl it seems, the little girl expects adults to put money in a swear jar when they say a bad word. Cute, but does anyone really do it enough for it to appear in every book I read? There were a few hints I picked up on that made me think there might be something more to her and Emery’s life and past, and a little over halfway through, that twist happened! Man did that twist get me!

The characters were all really good in this. I loved the music, and the romance, and the whole thing! I do kind of have one question though. It never said if Emery and her sister got to meet Alex and Oliver or go to a concert. But I wondered because there were two sisters that were at a meet and greet with the duo when one of them went into labor and the guys had suggested the name Reese, which is Emery’s daughter’s name. Same girls? Or not? Who knows, I don’t think they ever said it was them.

Overall another great story from Brittainy Cherry, meaning I just need to read more of her books!
