If you're in the mood for something messy with fantastic found family representation, you should definitely read this.
It took me a hot second to get into the plot line but I absolutely loved the last third of this book! I loved Sammy's journey throughout the story and her struggle with balancing her unavailable mother and the family that she never knew.
I fell in love with Sammy and Paloma. I absolutely adored their relationship and loved getting to see them grow and love on each other. Paloma's letter at the end of the story truly broke me.
I will say that the only reason this wasn't a 5, was because of Sammy and Max hiding big secrets from each other. Now, of course when you're essentially strangers to each other, you're not going to immediately spill your deepest and darkest secrets. However, as their relationship progressed, I kept wanting them to speak up!
Sammy and Max tended to come across a little younger at times, but I loved their relationship and their love for music that they shared with one another.
Overall, just a beautifully messy story about finding family and passion in your life. I will definitely be reading Tehlor's work from now on!
