This book was amazing!!! It definitely made me miss going to concerts. I loved the love story between Olivia and Toni who were trying to find themselves and not only found that but each other. Peter was the perfect himbo and I loved him. Imani reminded me a little bit of myself and I realize that like me she's a Capricorn. Overall this was a great story and Leah Johnson has done it again.
A perfect queer girl romance that really encapsulates what it’s like being a teen girl in love—the whirlwind feelings, the intensity of emotions, the way you just FEEL everything so much!!! The backdrop of the music festival makes this a fantastic summer read, and definitely recommend it to anyone who needs a lighthearted yet epic (queer!) romance that doesn’t shy away from the harder, real-life moments
I loved this story of discovery for both main characters. Olivia has to find her worth without a boy. It's clear having and being in a relationship is the main goal to her. To the point of affecting her other relationships. Toni has to make amends with the changes happening in her life. A good story all in all.

This book had me giggling and wanting to go to a music festival (which actually sounds like a nightmare).
Music really is the thing that brings us all together. the fact that we as humans get together to share our thoughts, feelings, and energy through live music is one of the most beautiful things we do.

I liked parts of this book but I found one of the two POV characters deeply annoying in a way that really reminded me I am not the target audience for YA books. She was a very realistic teenager! She also annoyed the shit out of me! I loved You Should See Me In A Crown but this one was much less engaging, in part I think because the romance was condensed into 3 days and I always feel a bit eye rolly about dramatic declarations of love for someone you’ve spent like two hours with. (I am also a buzzkill about Romeo and Juliet.)
I’m sure this book is great for some people but it wasn’t for me, it happened way to fast, I don’t really care to much about music, and the characters just didn’t vibe with me
Toni is about to start college, but she's just not sure it's the right choice for her. So she's off to spend the weekend with her friend at the music festival she's grown up with and sort out her feelings. Meanwhile, Olivia is escaping some drama back at her high school and convinces her best friend to join her for a music festival for some fun before she has to make a big decision. Johnson's sophomore novel has just as much heart as her first book and I enjoyed every minute of it.
