The library is a pain in the butt, making me wait so long to read this book. I knew from the start I was interested, but that 8 week wait kept me on my toes.

๐Ÿ“– ๐—ฆ๐˜†๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜€: Riley Wynnโ€™s second album skyrocketed her to stardom. Twelve breakup songs for her twelve exes. But one stands out, and she reaches out to him to join her on The Breakup Tour to help tell their story in song.

๐ŸŒŸ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„:  I really, really liked this book. But itโ€™s definitely an emotional rollercoaster.

If youโ€™re a big fan of music in general, youโ€™ll love this one. Music - like poetry and the ocean and the night sky - is inherently romantic. And those of us that have a soundtrack to our lives will appreciate Rileyโ€™s commitment to sharing her heartache. 

Then you have Max, who is unapologetically himself. The two feel only destined for one another, and as the tour wears on and the tension crescendos, you canโ€™t help but hold your breath as you turn the pages. 

It was the awesome writing that tipped the scales. Both characters go through a lot of self reflection, and it was all so relatable. On top of that, I absolutely loved the HEA in this one. For a new-to-me writing pair, I definitely want to read more.
