Girls With Bad Reputations follow the rock band The Lillys, and focuses on the drummer Kayla. Touring, the kilt wearing Ty becomes their driver, and a romance starts blooming.
This is a very sweet romance with the addition of found family with the band. I didn't realise until I was almost finished reading that this is book two, so in my opinion it holds strong by itself. The tension and drama in the book feels very real, relatable, and not overdone to press the characters into situations. I really enjoyed both the band and romance aspect, and how Kayla and Ty handle their personal problems. Ty's grandfather is one of my favourites.
Audiobook thoughts:
The narrators does an overall great job, they go very well together and it feels cohesive between the two. The Norwegian words that are sprinkled in from the Norwegian singer is a bit butchered, but who cares really? It's cute and they're trying their best!
