2.5

I had a love/hate relationship with this book. I’ve honestly debated the star ratings because I was so back and forth. I think I’m finally settling on a 2.5 rating.

I’ll start with the things I did like. I enjoyed how there was representation of a minority group in this book (and a minority group that is not typically included). I liked the characters (except Sydney) I enjoyed the musical aspect and I enjoyed the character interactions.

Things I wish there were more of: I wish Brennan had played a more prominent role. I wish we had actually been able to read his first encounter with Sydney. I just feel like he had a lot to contribute. I also wish there were more interactions amongst the roommates and not just Sydney and Ridge. I think Bridgette could’ve been more fun and I think it would’ve been cool to see her fleshed out more.

What I did not like: Sydney. She was so emotional. Some of it was understandable, but she cried way too much. I get that there are people out there that cry at everything, but it got to the point where if the paragraph read tears welling up or sliding down her cheeks I just skimmed it or skipped it. I was so tired of reading about her crying. Maybe that makes me sound heartless, but she was just too emotional for me. I also didn’t really like how fast their attraction grew. I feel like there should’ve been more build up and getting to them one another.

I read this years ago, but I decided to revisit it. I grew up and changed, so I have a different take now than when I was younger. At the beginning of this story, Sydney annoyed the shit out of me. Her hypocrisy was to the max, and she needed therapy sessions to manage her violence. I surely missed these things years ago because I was so naive back then, never realizing that red flags were in my face, and this book had many of them waving. Even if I disliked her in a massive chunk of this story, I was glad she transformed even a little bit.

I understood Ridge, but he was far from innocent like Sydney insisted a million times. He was a grown-ass man, so he knew what was up. He was deaf, not stupid, but yeah, he did a lot of shitty things as well. He couldn't get mad at Hunter because they had similarities.

I wouldn't say I liked that Sydney and Ridge were both flirting, but they got surprised to develop feelings. What?

Maggie, I hope you live a good life.

Warren, you're the best boy ever. Thank you for being supportive and understanding.

I liked the music part so much. The lyrics were intriguing, and I was happy they bonded through music. Overall, a good read.✨🎧

this book started out with sydney living with her boyfriend and with ridge living in her apartment building, watching him play his guitar from her balcony. they begin to communicate through texts and this is when sydney finds out her boyfriend is cheating on her with her bestfriend, she decides to go to ridges apartment. they start off as friends due to ridge having a girlfriend, however they end up together in the end. throughout, sydney finds out ridge is deaf and plays for a band, making sydney his muse (letting her write the music for them).

i loved this book a lot, it was so heartwarming and i cannot wait to read the other 2 books!

LOVE.

I’m already looking forward to the sequel! So funny and heartbreaking at the same time. The themes are relatable

especially CoHo featuring deaf characters which I’ve never read in the romance books I’ve gotten through so far

I liked the characters (even if they were written to be raunchy or rude. Another CoHo in the books (literally) and I’m excited to read more!
