I enjoyed all of the characters in this. I normally hate a kid in a book but Amos is a teen that just wants companionship and their interactions were so sweet. I also find a pop star adjacent romance to normally be cheesy but I enjoyed the different aspects at play here. I think it helped that she was a songwriter and dated a pop star instead. I will say she was quite immature for her age of 33 at times but it didn't derail it too bad for me as that's how all MZ fmc's tend to go. Tobias was genuinely so caring toward Aurora and that made my heart swoon. An acts of service man. Once he started to flirt, it was dangerously cute except for the nickname... Very limited smut in this one. Mostly a lot of yearning.

Tropes: grumpy x sunshine, single dad, found family, small town, and as always - slowburn.
