SECOND BEST BOOK IVE READ THIS YEAR. Wow. And I doubt that it will ever get moved down!! 

The story was AMAZING. So compelling. I cried twice. I loved the writing so much!! I think the romance was also done exceptionally well!! The buildup was perfect and both Ruben and Zach were both such well written characters and their individual faults were so realistic! 
Another round of applause for the side characters!! Usually I struggle to remember the side characters in books, especially if there are many but not these characters!! Even the ones that I despised were memorable and they all contributed to the plot in meaningful ways. 
Overall 10/10!! Can’t think of any major issues I had with it. Only request would be to

expand on Angel and Jon some more!! I loved them I needed to see even more. I want to find out how Angel deals with staying sober and how Jon ends up dealing with his dad and everything!!

 
Honestly can see this book having a sequel and while I don’t believe that will happen, it’s pretty unrealistic, I CAN STILL DREAM!!

Two band members fall for each other and go through the struggle of keeping it secret, finding themselves and learning how to express themselves despite their abusive and restrictive management and despite everything else going on in their lives.

This brought back memories of my kpop days. Such an odd and nostalgic feeling. I liked the characters and the way they developed and grew. 
This was a nice read that felt a lot like a palette cleanser. The audiobook was okay to listen to. I wish they had two different male narrators for the two POVs.
