3 and a half stars. This was a cute, fast read. The characters all meshed so well and their teasing banter throughout was what I enjoyed the most. If you need something light in your life for summer reading, give this one a try.

I have enjoyed reading Emma Mills’ books since her first, First & Then, but this one blew me away. Readers will go in thinking that the book is just about getting a famous singer to return to her hometown but Sophie and her friends go through some heart-wrenching journeys to make it out on the other end. Definitely, my favorite book of her’s so far.

Just another perfectly fine YA novel. Nothing offense or terrible, just wasn't that great tbh. Again something I would've liked more if I was younger maybe, but not my fav main character or conflict so it didn't really engage me enough to be all that memorable.

This is sad. I never thought I'd say this about an Emma Mills book, but this was a boring read. It was hard to read this book without getting distracted. I felt no connections with the characters and found myself skimming through some parts.
May be it's just me.
Will still devour everything she puts out though.

There's something so incredibly charming and wonderful about Emma Mills' books. The characters are so real and funny and charming and while this one wasn't what I expected, the relationships and friendships between the characters made me cry. I love them.
