For One Night Only by Jessica James

I wanted to love this, and I did think it was a fun, quick read! I thought Valerie was a fun main character, who was messy and flawed and navigating fame in a way that felt real. I think her inability to get out of her own way was really relatable!! The band dynamic was really interesting, and it was cool to be shown tidbits from past media from fans and news outlets! I definitely wanted to know everyone MORE and think that fleshing out these characters further would've helped me connect with the story.
The romance part of this didn't fully work for me, I think second chance romances are hard to get right because I (personally) want to see what the relationship was, why it failed, and then see a clear contrast (for the better I'd hope!!!) to how these characters have grown and end up back together and I just didn't see that with this story.
Overall I think this was a fun read, and I am interested in further stories with these characters!
Thank you to Berkley Romance for the e-ARC and finished copy!
