I loved that the titles of the chapters were song titles and that there were just so many playlists throughout this book. Honestly, I kind of want to see if someone has made a playlist of all the songs in this book because there were a lot!
Anyway, this is a sweet, music themed romance with the found family trope that was just lovely. Third Eye is such a lovely group of people, and I loved how they accepted Liana into their fold. You could tell that they all cared deeply for each other, and the characters were just so well done.
However, there was one thing that really took me out of the story: Skye saying that he got a tattoo every couple of weeks after turning 18. I'm sorry, what?? Who has that kind of time and money at 18??? He also has a piercing at some point, and I just don't believe all this happened in 6 months. I don't know why it bothered me so much, but it did lol.
Anway, if you like music and found family, definitely check this one out!

This book absolutely has my heart and I would read a thousand more pages about these characters. Liana and Evie's long distance friendship reminds me of my own best friend, and seeing the boys of Third Eye alternate between joking around and uplifting each other was so sweet. The author also does a beautiful job of balancing lighthearted romance and whimsy with more serious, grounded moments throughout the story. Due to her parents, Liana has a complicated relationship with her mental health. She accepts that anxiety and depression are always going to be in her life, but can't take any big steps until she's under the college's health insurance. It's a reminder that there isn't one perfect way to address mental health, and that you have to do what's best for you, and I loved seeing her finally be able to take that step in the end.
