Alex is a very broken drug addicted rockstar in need of a babysitter to be his sober companion while on the last leg of his tour and Indigo is need of money to help out her older brother and his family. 

You wouldn't think these two would need each other, but they do. Him to finally get clean & understand that he needs to be less selfish & her to stand up and not just letting things be piled upon her. He needs to care for herself first and not just others. 

The plot twist just kept coming to me. I wasn't expecting so much change to happen after the balcony sene, but man oh man, did they just kept coming.

I would recommend for the brokenness of the charters and their challenges they go through together and with each other. Spice isn't as high as I would like, but overall still okay.

The middle of this book is what you love about LJ Shen. Hot, fast, witty, everything is perfect. The beginning and the end... slow and dragging. Clearly LJ had a great idea. I love all her stuff. This is a reread!!
