5.0

I have just finished inhaling this book as if my very life depended on it and if I am being honest at some points it truly felt like that. I was hanging off of every word Julie Soto put down on the page. Julie Soto has delivered a masterpiece in this book, following Gwen and Alex as they fall in love and also discover truths about themselves is so delightful. The way music is filtered through the books to express so much about them - their emotions, their insecurities, their passions, is so beautiful and moving. 

If I had to try and compare the experience of reading this books to some other experience the first thing that comes to mind is the breathlessness and dizziness you feel after a perfect live gig. 

Masterful storytelling, a beautiful romance and positively orchestral plotting. Gwen and Alex will break your heart and then restore your belief in love all over again.

(also side-note if the trope of mc being positively head over heels almost pathetically enamoured with the fc then this is for you my dear!)

all the stars, all the stars.
