Come for the cute romance and stay for the scathing look into the dark side of the music industry. I don’t think any part of me expected to feel as much as I did while reading this book. Between seeing myself in Zach’s queer awakening, and also resonating with Ruben’s incredibly complicated relationship with his mother, this book really hit home for me. And that’s all unrelated to what this book has to say about artist management and fandom perception. This books feels incredibly relevant right now, as we learn more everyday about how a lot of artists have been turned into commodities by their management teams. Comparisons can be drawn to one specific boy band, obviously, but this book is much larger than that.

This story definitely reads like a one direction fan fiction type of story. But in this case, that is not a bad thing! Two young men are at the height of their stardom but they’re also trying to figure out who they are, what they want and if it’s worth the risk. As I was nearing the end of the book I looked to see how much I had left and my heart broke when I realized that I only had 50 pages left. If I could read more about Ruben and Zach I would! They’re story is one that I feel is not over yet and I’m excited to see where they go. 

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read an advance copy.
