When I brought this book I didn't know what to expect. I saw it in the shelves of my local bookstore and the tittle caught my attention. Upon reading the summary, I decided to buy it because it seemed like something that I would like.
And I was right! I really like it! Look, the way that the story is structured, I can see why people may think that this is a somewhat one direction fanfic turned book. There isn't anything that tells me that one direction (and the fan theories about some members of the band having a secret relationship) were an inspiration to the book but comparisons can be made. Nonetheless, lets review the book by what it is and not what could be. And I liked it! Its cute, heartwarming and has fluff, just the sorta of thing that I was looking to read at the time that I started this book.
So, I would recommend it if you want to read something sweet, light and cute.

The bands friendship worked really well together, relationships within this book were really well thought out and written.
Another fault was within a Zacks dynamic with his mother, she is comforting and open yet when he comes out she compares him to his father who had little relevance within the story. It felt like a poor choice - yes not every one has a nice coming out story, but this felt like they felt the need to make another plot for drama within a book which has a dramatic theme from the beginning.
Overall, I feel this book was well written and thought out. I truly enjoyed the romance, I'd recommend to anyone interested.
