This book was not it.

Wasn’t a fan of the rough-housing - I get it was meant to paint a picture of how “crazy” on-tour life gets but it just made for an uncomfortable read - the FMC didn’t want to partake in their stupid antics then ends up with a fucked jaw and shaved head - throw in a few laughs and its ok? Weird for 26-30yo. (May have made sense if they were late teens/early 20s? to explain the stupidity?)

The MMC was essentially still involved with his ex-gf for 85% of the book (broken up - but still talking - MESSY) - after what the FMC has gone through she essentially puts herself in the same position again!? 

Made me think that after all that the FMC is just stupid 😂

The relationship was cute but there was a fair amount of problematic language used throughout, some slut shaming and transphobia, among other things that weren’t framed in a negative light or denounced at any point that I noticed. The overall story was readable though and I wasn’t expecting it to be the most sensitive or empathetic reading material.
