Obviously the Taylor Swift of it all really drew me to this book but there are not enough words to describe how I feel about this book. I loved it so incredibly much. It was such a sweet & cute read. It just felt so cozy that i want to grab a big fluffy blanket and big cup of hot coco and just read it over and over again. I already want to reread it and know that I will be pushing this on to all my friends, especially the Swifties, when it comes out. It is easily one of my favorite books I've ever read. I do wish we got more on some chapters which would've made this a five star for me but still I loved it. ****CONTENT WARNING THERE IS MENTION OF SA/RAPE BRIEFLY IN A CHAPTER*****
Aspen Moore moved to Hollywood at 18 to pursue her dream of singing. In doing so, she had to leave behind her first love, Roman Torres. She makes it and lands the lead role in a soap opera and just wrapped a tour. Now she finds herself caught in the middle of a scandal with her best friend & her best friend's boyfriend. She leaves LA and goes back home to Fertsville, Pennsylvania to get away from the spotlight for a while. She returns home and finds out Roman (Rome) is working for her father. She starts feeling things for Roman but knows they can't be anything more than friends. She and Rome take over the Christmas play production at the local church for her father. Unfortunately, the fame doesn't end when Aspen leaves the LA city limits and drama surrounding the scandal has followed her home.
The characters are everything to me and own my heart. Aspen was so incredibly strong and relatable and lovable. You really root for her through the whole story. Roman was everything. I loved how supportive he was of Aspen. I loved their love. They both truly just wanted happiness for another and loved each other so much. Aspen's growth was beautiful to read & Roman really backing her and helping her was just amazing.
Thank you so much to Netgalley and Parson Press for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
