I adored this book! The concept, the characters, the plot all amazing!! Beat and Melody have amazing chemistry and their wacky antics made this book what it is! I just feel like the end kinda drops off. There isn't really a resolution with the main plot of the story (at least not a satisfactory one). I think an epilogue would have been beneficial but otherwise its great!

This is such a great read. You know pretty early on where this is going to go, but going through all the twist will drive you crazy. I love how it explores different sexual dynamics than you usually get from these types of book on top of just learning to grow from trauma.

This was a cute holiday-time romance. Melody and Beat are fun characters to follow as they navigate their fame (or lack thereof) and the lingering impact of their famous parents. I don't know how much this particular book will stay with me because it doesn't stand out in any particular way and reality tv isn't my thing to begin with, but I thoroughly enjoyed it while I was reading it.

I thought this was a cute, easy read. The characters had enough depth to them that they didn't feel like they were "y/n" level bland, and I actually really enjoyed the scenes with their mothers. Are there elements that are a little cheesy? Yeah, but it works to the book's favor. The plot was predictable in a good way where it made this a super quick and enjoyable read.

     This book moved too slowly (most of it) and moved too fast (the ending). I would have liked a lot more of the moms too be honest, as their story was much more interesting!
     I'm not much for fated mates, which this was, or insta love, again that's this. 
     It was spicy, which I liked, plenty of sex scenes, but the rest of the story was just meh.
 
 Narrators' Rating: 4.5 stars
   Both narrators did an excellent job!
