This was a super lovely romance. I picked this up two months ago when I was really craving some good romance and unfortunately skipped on it for a month due to the medium (I don't usually read ebooks). I think I would have had a better experience if there wasn't such a large gap, and I definitely wish I'd picked this up earlier in my romance craving.

This was super fun. I loved the vibes this book gave, and I really loved how you could tell Axelrod knows the music industry. Like she really knows the music industry. It feels so real in the book, and so realistic. I love when there are stories about rockstars and stuff that don't feel like fake melodrama. It was by far the best aspect of the book.

The romance was cute. I'm not sure I was as invested as I wanted to be, but it was nice. I wanted them to wind up together. I wish there'd been more realistic planning of their relationship in the long run. Like realistically it just wasn't practical and that took me out of things a bit. There was so much going on in this book that I didn't really think it needed the forbidden romance aspect of "no fraternization" clauses in their contracts. I wish there'd been more time building Nia and Seb.

But this was pretty great. Not my favorite thing ever, but a really solid contemporary romance that I'm so glad I picked up. It scratched my romance itch like nothing else did. If it sounds like your vibe, I'd definitely recommend giving it a go.
