Beat and Melody were a delight! I loved the chaos of this narrative, the plot and driving force was so much fun to read. Each character was unique and felt very real to me. Even the rock stars, which I can't say I've ever met any in person, but it was fun to imagine a duo being cut from very different cloth.

I did receive an ARC for this book and I noticed there were some grammar points which I would hope get picked up and edited before final publishing. Though that being said, this was an ARC and my rating does not factor this in and is graded purely on the enjoyment and story of the novel itself.

As this was my introduction to Tessa as a writer I am definitely going to be looking into her more popular books that have already released. My only issue with her writing style is it is quite difficult for me to actually pin down who is speaking or what actions are being done by which people at particular times during the novel. Again I am unsure if this is because of the ARC copy and would be better amended in the release or if this is common for her books. I will only be able to confirm by reading others!

If you want to warm up your Christmas this year, I would actually very easily recommend this book. The shenanigans our two main protagonists got into were so out there, it felt like I was reading the script to an outrageously fun Holiday Rom-Com. The banter was great and I 100% saw myself falling into the "Melody-Head" bandwagon, she was adorable and I loved her so much!
