Thank you Berkley for the ARC in exchange for my honest reivew!

The Breakup Tour is an absolute delight and deserves every bit of its 5-star rating from me! If you're a fan of Taylor Swift's music and the idea of watching two souls who were meant to be together fall back in love, then this book is for you!

The story revolves around Riley Wynn, a singer-songwriter who becomes a superstar overnight thanks to her breakup song concept album. When her ex-husband claims that her hit song is about him, Riley decides to reconnect with Max Harcourt, her college boyfriend who was the real inspiration behind the song of the summer. What follows is a heartwarming journey as Max and Riley navigate their rekindled relationship amidst the flurry of a state-wide tour. 

The book brilliantly captures the essence of forced proximity, allowing readers to witness the sparks flying between the characters. Furthermore, it provides a fascinating glimpse into Riley's creative process, making you feel like you're right there in the studio as she writes her songs. The narrative is engaging, and the characters are fun and flawed.

As an easy-to-please reader, I found "The Breakup Tour" to be utterly captivating. It kept me hooked from the first page to the last, and I couldn't get enough of Max and Riley's story. This book is a wonderful blend of romance, music, and nostalgia, making it a must-add to your reading list.
