I loved the idea of this book, but Olivia's insecurity got super annoying. And so many of the issues between Olivia and Toni could have been solved by them talking.

i’m a huge fan of leah johnson’s work and this book was full of sapphic romance, friendship, heartache and the healing powers and magic of live music/music in general. i loved it!

a cute wlw book but i feel like it was more geared for a younger hs audience. it also seemed like most of the climax happened within the last 100 pages and seemed rushed

I AM DESTROYED THAT I HAVE BEEN SLEEPING ON THIS BOOK FOR SO LONG
adventurous emotional inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

Definitely not as good as You Should See Me in a Crown so that was a big disappointment but Alaska Jackson (once again) and Lexi Underwood did a good job narrating the audiobook

Ok I probably would’ve given this two stars except for the fact that I really did love the setting and the atmosphere. I didn’t like the fact that at the beginning Olivia’s friend was like “promise no hookups or crushes this weekend!!” And that’s literally what the whole book was about.

Also the fact that her friend declared her love and then we just ignored that??? Idk to me Olivia was just pretty unlikeable and if she was my friend I’d be in Imani’s shoes and be super pissed
