This book was so beautiful. Heartbreaking and heartwarming and captured complicated family dynamics so so well.
3.5 stars. Interesting story, quick read. Nothing to write home about.
“I’d learned quickly that motherhood meant saying no to yourself so you could later say yes to your child.”
Oliver and his twin brother cracked the game code and become super stars over night. Tragically Oliver’s twin dies and Oliver is now stuck between pleasing himself or his fans.
Emery has never felt more alone, he’s a single mum tying to make ends meet, struggling to hold her bartending job to keep a roof over their heads. She’s got no support or help and she’s one bill away from being evicted.
After being another disappointment Oliver tried to hide from the paparazzi in a bar, just happens to be the bar Emery is working at, after way too many drinks Emery helps Oliver escape the chaos and gives him a place to stay.
The pair while polar opposites from the outside have so much in common on the inside. They paths crossed for a reason and their pain and loss need healing. The sparks grow stronger and they are left at a crossroad, will their new love stand the rest of time?
A #booktok made my read it read. It’s sad and yet incredibly hopeful and full of so much emotion and healing. A modern day love story about following your dream and your heart, with a musical twist.

Ein Jahreshighlight!
Single Parent Romance + Promi/Normale Romance.
Oliver fand ich total sympathisch und soooo toll.
Ein Mann zum verlieben!
Oliver und Reese haben für einige Lacher gesorgt und ich hätte mir mehr Szenen mit den beiden gewünscht!
Emery mochte ich auch total.
Ich fands sehr schön wie sich Emery und Oliver besser kennengelernt haben und wie all die ernsteren Themen behandelt wurden.
Hab auch wieder einige Tränen verdrückt.
Fand vor allem die Stellen mit Emerys Familie sehr schwer zu lesen.
Aber ich hab‘s trotzdem absolut geliebt!

I was a little worried at first. This starts with a tragedy and some heavy subject manner, things I normally avoid but the characters were so real, I was hooked right away. Oliver is such a sympathetic character and Brittainy Cherry is a gifted writer who made me feel his pain. That concern for Oliver had me almost instantly and I didn’t put this book down until it was over.
Emery has her own problems, although hers are more bittersweet and not quite as dark. She’s a huge fan but her illusions are destroyed when she finds Oliver at rock bottom. She saves him from a media nightmare but protecting him cost Emery her job so Oliver hires her as a personal chef. They become friends, offering one another support and helping each other heal. It turns out that just being around Emery is really good for Oliver and he’s soon making real progress for the first time since losing Alex in the accident.
As we learned more about Emery’s family, it becomes clear her world is far darker than we could have imagined. Her strength and tenacity are humbling to Oliver. Inspired, he begins to take back control of his life and even finds it within himself to make music again, something he never expected to do again without Alex.
The characters are so real, it’s refreshing. I worried this story was a bit too dark at first but there’s a perfect mix of enough sorrow to paint a picture, but not so much as to taint the happy ending. There’s grief and pain but they bring growth and a love that shines so bright, it chases away all the darkness.
Being a music nut, I loved the way Oliver communicated with music, first with Alex and then with Emery, but I honestly loved everything about this story from the first page.
