Thank you NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for giving me access to this e-ARC. All thoughts are my own.
I'm a sucker for a book involving music, and I gotta say, this one nailed it for me. I mean, who doesn't love a chiastic bisexual paired with a cinnamon roll? The chemistry had me blushing from their first interaction. I also loved the band members and each of their individual personalities. I think they really added to the book and brought an amazing found family to the main characters. The anxiety representation was (in my opinion as a person with anxiety and also a licensed therapist) was realistic without going anywhere near romantasizing the disorder. Anxiety attacks are real and can happen to anyone, and I like that the book showed this. I honestly kind of want their to be a follow-up book about the band members (read this if you want to know about who I'm specifically talking about). But overall, I'm glad I chose to read this book and highly recommend it to romance and music lovers alike.
