So I just finished reading Lilac by B.B Reids. Idk how I feel about it tbh. I thought I would hate it (when I eventually figured out what was going on) but it surprised me and it was okayish. The book was definitely not my style but the writing was good and the author knew what she was doing... Story is about 3 Rockstars who are looking for a new guitarist, before their world tour and their manager hires a girl called Braxton, and they all thought Braxton was a guy until they met her. 
The 3 guys were not impressed, and they shunned her out, were rude, and ignored her most of the time. But they all thought she was hot. So she eventually dates all 3 of them 💀 don't know how. Definitely not my cup of tea I don't think I'll read something like that again.

I don’t even know where to start now. All I can say is I finished a large majority of this in one night because I couldn’t put it down after the first chunk of the book.I was sucked in and pulled into the relationship between Braxton, Jericho, Loren, and Houston. This was a long and emotional rise for the four in the relationship along with the reader. They have a rollercoaster of a relationship that is hard to hate.
