This book taught me that I like to connect somehow with one or more of the main characters when it comes to romance. I like to feel like the FMC is my homegirl and we kiki’ing on the phone or the MMC is so amazing that I want to keep him or I want him to be with my homegirl real bad. I didn’t get that with this. I didn’t find myself rooting for these ppl to be together or apart. Second chance romance is my shiiiii, so I was surprised how much I didn’t care about their love story. The book wasn’t bad. It was just meh 🫤 for me. I did however enjoy that this was something that I don’t usually get in my Black romance…Country music and terrible parents lol.

Read due to a New York Times book review. Once I saw the cover, I should have known better...
Every chapter introduces a new issue which is promptly resolved in the next. The entire story felt like I had read it before (I hadn't!) because there's not a single original thought in this entire novel. Each and every character, from the saintly ex-con, the alholic(s), the small-town heroine and her estranged mother. There's also the reborn christian grandma (no worse human beings than those!) with her "tough love", the reformed music agent, and many more who feel like you've read about them a million times, or seen their story in some TV trash.
None of them were likeable in any kind either. Another complete waste of reading time.
