There were times I really enjoyed this book and times I didn't. I think having Sammy lie about her intentions was a big roadblock in me liking her character when it came to her relationship with Max. I thoroughly enjoyed Paloma and her taking charge of teaching Sammy and helping Sammy while knowing she had little time left. I am a sucker for a band boy story, so that was fun for me
I think this is just a case of right book, wrong time. Hopefully I can come back to it in the future :)

If you like a second chance romance, I’d definitely recommend Sammy Espinoza’s Last Review!
This book follows Sammy after a breakup leads her back to her hometown in the hopes of being able to talk her former crush Max Ryan into giving her the scoop on his latest album in order to save her job as a music reviewer. During this time, she connects to a grandmother she didn’t think wanted anything to do with her and deals with her abandonment issues.
I loved the side characters in this book- the friendship with Willa and Brook added a lot to the story. I also really enjoyed the main characters of Max and Sammy although Max did irritate me at times (how hard is it to send a text?!). I loved the relationship with Sammy and her grandma the very most.
Overall this was a cute story and I really enjoyed reading it! Thanks Netgalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.
Thank you to the publishers for the opportunity to check out an ARC of this book through NetGalley!
Unfortunately this book was just not for me. I probably should have DNFed as I really did not feel any connection to the characters for a majority of the story. Towards the end of the book if started to pick up for me, but I just didn't really feel like I wanted to root for any character.
