I liked it but... the toxic factor is too much. Until Indie gave in to Alex, I really really enjoyed it. The tension and banter between the 2 main characters was amazing. 

But then, they got together and Alex's delusional mind became even more delusional. He is toxic and thinks everything belongs to him, that he is the most important being in the whole world, and everyone else is beneath him, even Indie.

The only 2 things that made me give this book a 3 stars instead of 2 was the hallway midnight writing sessions when Alex became a tiny bit more vulnerable in front of Indie and the last 100 pages where Alex gets his shit together.

I didnt really like the beginning, the MMC was insufferable, but I kept going and ended up surprised.  Not a fan of the ending
where they got married and had a baby, felt really cliché but it’s my personal preference

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.
