I loved seeing the Stray Kids lyrics in here but I don't think I'll pick up any more Tashie books...
I thought Counting Down with You was ok, A Show For Two was a miss for me and this was the tiebreaker.
I had hoped that this one would work for me with the music industry and a band being the focus, but it fell flat again for me.
The writing in this makes me feel too old for Tashie's YA books though the characters have graduated high school and are supposed to be entering college.
Also, Sky was such an asshole and toxic for the band! And he's supposed to be the love interest?
DNF @ 17%

another phenomenal read from Tashie Bhuiyan 🥹 and just like when i read A Show For Two last summer...i had beef with Liana for a bit 😠HER DECISIONS REALLY, BUT GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES 👀 I LET IT SLIDE BECAUSE THE LAST THING I CAN HANDLE IS ANOTHER ONE SIDED BEEF WITH A FICTIONAL CHARACTER 💀
once again, Tashie Bhuiyan writes YA stories worth reading. they’re REAL, heartfelt, and it’s damn near impossible to resist falling in love with these characters and this story the more you read. there were several instances where i teared up because of how in touch i was with what the characters were saying. sometimes, it felt like i was reading someone else’s diary because of how personal the touches to the characters’ thoughts and interactions were. i don’t have a single complaint about this story. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE HONORABLE MUSIC MENTIONS AT THE START OF EACH CHAPTER???
TROYE SIVAN. CHUNGHA. MADISON REYES & CHARLIE GILLESPIE. my heart was very happy seeing so many different artists and genres blend together to give a better feel of this story as it unraveled.
