Thank you Forever and NetGalley for the eARC of Not Another Love Song!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I have been recommending this book to everyone I can!  I was lucky enough to see Julie Soto at a Forever panel last fall and it is unsurprising that her charming personality transfers to the page.

I don't know much about instruments and orchestras, but this romance between two musical prodigies was fantastic!  Gwen is a violinist who plays for a pop orchestra and Xander is a rock star cellist.  The tension between them is so good and Soto makes this musical world accessible.  I love how although their romance is the main storyline, both characters are complex and deal with their own struggles throughout the book.

After only one book, I am now a Julie Soto fan for life and can't wait to read Forget Me Not!
