Not Another Love Song by Julie Soto
4.25
emotional funny fast-paced

I did not expect to love this as much as I did. This is the first Julie Soto book I've read. In this enemies-to-lovers, two musicians start as rivals and end up as lovers (is there any other ending in a romance?).  Gwen and Alex are both intense, dedicated people, and that causes them to butt heads throughout the book. They are dealing with professional dynamics I know nothing about, but they seemed complicated. The intensity between the two is easy to get sucked into. I was rooting for them as individuals and as a couple from the beginning. 
There was conflict within found family that had to be overcome, and redemption for characters who had made bad decisions. 
And Nathan & Lorenz can f off.
