The Words by Ashley Jade, A. Jade
5.0

4.5 stars! Wow!! This book blew me away! Lennon and Phoenix became friends in high school. Though they are opposites in many ways, they have a connection through music, but Phoenix ruined all that with one decision. Phoenix is now a famous rock star and is spiraling out of control. He needs a sober companion who won't be manipulated by his charm. Lennon hopes to make his life for the next 8 weeks miserable, but what she doesn't except is how she'll feel being back in Phoenix's world.

This book was amazing! It was so captivating and while it's 657 pages, I finished it in two days. The characters are so multidimensional and so real and their story is so emotional. I haven't stopped thinking about this book. Fantastic!!
