I wanted to love this book, but the pacing felt off. Especially considering how long this book was. 
The conflict between the MCs drug on for too much of the book while the resolution happened much too quickly. Said resolution

(read Phoenix sharing that Lennon wrote the song publicly)

should have happened with about 20% of the book left. Then we could have seen more of Lennon’s fight with the record company, Lennon and Phoenix’s relationship, etc. Instead it all felt very rushed in the last few chapters.

Also, I need a second book that wraps up the stories of Skylar, Quinn, Memphis, and Storm. We saw so much of them in this book to get no resolution to their storylines.
