2.5
A solid 2.5 star romance. I couldn't get over the fact that Vivi Swan is so clearly Taylor Swift, to the point that their last names are both birds that start with "S". It felt like things moved really quickly, and really bizarrely? Like, given how strict Vivi is with her image, why would she be hooking up with someone on her crew while still dating someone else? It felt like the author was trying to make it seem like her relationship with Noah was for PR without actually saying that. Her lack of connection with her touring crew really seemed... difficult and very much self imposed. She held the reigns TIGHT which meant she seemed incredibly lonely at the end of the day.
Wtf happened with Tuesday? I feel like that was supposed to be a bigger plot point that just got... edited out.
Remy was a good lens to view the story from, but whew was he naive. Also, I'm utterly shocked that Vivi didn't have Val and Celeste sign NDAs after she came to the Quiet Coyote performance; Val literally caught them kissing, and given how tightly guarded she is with everything, that seems like a big thing to have let slide.
It really just felt like interesting parts of the story were edited out, or the focus was on the more salacious backstories (Val's drug use, for instance). I wish I ended the book knowing more about Remy, but I felt like he and Celeste were very much 2D characters.
Also, Laurel totally wanted to bone Remy, right? It felt weird the way she was always mentioned with the guys in the band, but never any of the other dancers.
Overall: lighthearted, with very obvious inspiration. Very readable, and a quick one at that; I finished it just over a day after I started, including sleeping twice.
