 I absolutely devoured this book!! Lennon and Phoenix are both so beautifully broken. Their story starts off as seniors in high school and go through part of their adult lives. I love how strong Lennon is. She is seriously a bad a$$!!! Phoenix loves in his own way and makes mistakes, but he finally figured it out in the end!

kinda reminded me of Wattpad books but in a good way, if that makes sense. I enjoyed this a lottt. Yeah, it was kinda cringe and stupid at times, but honestly, those are the books you end up binging at 3 a.m. like your life depends on it.

This book was REALLY good: I still haven’t found a rockstar romance that compares to Bittersweet Symphony, but this book had me feeling all sorts of emotions!

God, I hated Phoenix. For what he does in the beginning of the book, & then being a complete asshole when they reconnect. But he went through SO much & people handle trauma differently so I understood why his story was being told the way it was. At first I felt like there would be no character growth for him - but towards the end of the book you realize it was gradually happening all along throughout the book.

I liked this much more than I thought I would! The ending felt rushed but couldn’t put it down and the banter had me giggling throughout
