A fun read and I continue to really like Sussman’s writing. And the Broadway setting played to my tastes!

I did find myself wishing for more of Harriett. She was a more fully formed best friend character than in many romcoms, but not as fully developed as the leads and it left me wanting more because there was clearly more to give.

the blurb says this book is perfect for lovers of boybands, musical theatre and second chance romance and it was so right. my one gripe is that i dont always love the trope of the past pov section of the book, but i did like how it was handled in this scenario

Enjoyable second-chance/enemies to lovers/slow burn romance centered around 2 former pop stars, and a mutual friend, who are trying to get a musical on Broadway.  Now that they're adults, they can reflect on how the industry changed them and then decide who they really want to be.  Nothing particularly wrong with this book, except a weak female lead and a rushed ending.
