Two young hot white indie musicians in insta love is just....boring. Like, why wouldn't you be, I guess? One of them is a single dad, which is cute, but his kid doesn't live with him.

Charlie is a full time student, full time dad, almost-full time barista und part time musician in a band. Convinced he has his priorities and plan for the next years set, there is really no time left for a love life.
Ben - with his own band - is quickly rising in the music scene and leaves for his next tour soon.
When they meet, they immediately settle into banter and then one thing leads to another... but Ben doesn't remain Charlie's one-night stand, they seem to be attracted to each other on more than just a physical level.
I finished this book over a week ago and I'm still struggling to come up with a review for it.
All in all I liked the writing style, it was very easy to read and follow along. In my opinion the characters were actually well constructed. Some decisions or beliefs I didn't quite understand, but in such a way I wouldn't understand if they were real people. That's a compliment in my eyes, but it also means that, at times, I was very frustrated with the book.
Charlie's backstory is not easy to digest and you really feel for him. Up to a certain point the anxiety issues und recurring thoughts - of what he does and doesn't deserve and what he should and shouldn't do - felt very realistic and made sense. It's just that it often doesn't translate well into writing. Everything became too repetitive and got on my nerves, even though I really really didn't want it to!
Ben's and Emily's character acted as a good counterbalance to Charlie's. I just would have liked Emily to have been a bit more involved in the story.
And the misunderstanding at the end felt a bit off - kind of rushed and a tad overdone.
In my opinion!
But you should definitely read the book for yourself, the idea for the story is great and it's an easy and fast read!
