The story is pretty enjoyable. It was seeing Olivia and Toni and their time at the musical festival. I also liked how the author dealt with the dogged nice guy trope by deconstructing it.

Such a cute black sapphic romance! I love Toni and Olivia’s personalities so much and Peter and Imani were great side characters. This book was very well written and emotional in a sad, melancholic way, and in a proud, happy way. I really like how Toni and Olivia worked together with both of their inner problems, and it really goes to show how emotionally powerful music is and how beautiful music can be in the sense that it brings people together.

Loved this one great stor. Definelty miss concerts

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
