I fucking loved this book. Basically there’s two big plot lines, a love story between a songwriter and a washed up boy bander and the beginnings of the songwriter’s mother’s dementia. Both are done so, so well.
First, the love story is fantastic. The FMC and the MMC can inexplicably hear each other’s thoughts - and they’re both hot, so there is some fun, spicy flirting involved. I loved these characters, they felt so real and so meant to be that I was giggling and kicking my feet allllllll day.
Then there’s the mother and her dementia, which is handled so heartbreakingly beautifully. Poston is masterful when it comes to grief, portraying the slow loss of a loved one who is still there physically in a way that will ravish your heart and leave you begging for more.
