Thank you Netgalley and Wednesday Books for proving me a free audiobook for review.
I won't lie, I almost dnf'd this a couple times about 15% of the way through because it wasn't what I was in the mood for, but I'm so glad I changed my mind because this was such a great book, with a really important storyline. This wasn't just about two members of a boyband falling in love, it was so much more than that. This had a lot of talk about censorship within the media, and how labels can control not only the music you put out, but your lives as well.
This had triggers for homophobia as well as drug and alcohol use and abuse.
