3.5 round up to 4 stars
This was a very cute unique story and I really enjoyed the audiobook, it brought the dual timelines and characters to life in a really engaging way. The mix of country music, and queer romance had so much potential, and I can totally see why readers are loving it. they should!
Sadly, this book just wasn’t for me. There was nothing wrong with it at all—it just didn’t quite match my reading vibes. If you love Country music nostalgia, this book is for you!

I genuinely wasn’t prepared for how much I was going to enjoy this book.
Evelyn Hugo meets Daisy Jones and the Six vibes.
I couldn’t put this book down from start to finish, which is *chefs kiss* after being in a bit of a reading slump. It was a really fun, enjoyable read and SAPPHICCCCCC.

After reading Say a Little Prayer by Jenna, this was an auto add to my TBR and it did not disappoint!
I really enjoyed listening the audiobook and felt it was a great blend of Dolly Parton mixed with The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. And for an added gut punch, Silver Springs would be the first track of a playlist for this book. I think the road trip/scavenger hunt was a fun idea and worked really well. Decklee really wanted everything to be about her and wanted so badly to be remembered that she lost sight of what was truly important.
At this point, Jenna could send me her grocery list and I would read it.

5 Stars! This book is one that will stay with me for awhile. Everything about this was stellar: the plot, the characters, their development, the drama, and the twists! I couldn’t put it down.
This has become one of my favorite contemporary YA books ever. We have a dual timeline that weaves the past and Decklee’s rise to fame with the present, where we have Darren on a scavenger hunt to find the famed singer’s time capsule. The way Jenna Voris weaved together the past and the present was absolutely magic. I felt excited to jump between characters and to see how things tied together.
Each character in this book felt so unique and I could really relate to Darren’s struggle with her hometown. Her desire to escape and Mayberry, Arkansas reflect Decklee’s, and the desire of so many other girls who grow up in small towns. I really related to Darren and her dreams of something bigger. I enjoyed the journey of Darren and Kendall going on this roadtrip together and getting to know each other.
I did NOT see the big twist coming in this book at all! I figured I would be along for a pretty predictable ride but I was absolutely proven wrong and I LOVED IT. I am not going to say any more than that, but the build and ending of this book was perfect and unexpected.
If you like roadtrips, coming of age stories, and country music, please pick this up! As someone who lived in Nashville for many years, it was wonderful to have places I have been to and know about pop up in this story. Jenna Voris is now an auto-buy author for me.
