This one was tough for me. I love Jessa Hastings’ style, but I didn’t enjoy most parts of this book. It felt like a copy-and-paste version of B.J. and Magnolia (from the Magnolia Parks series) but not as likable and with less chemistry. The insta-love felt rushed and unbelievable, and while I usually love messy drama, here it all felt forced.

I did love the premise-a musician and a model navigating love and fame in the '90s but I wish the execution had landed differently. If you're a fan of Jessa Hastings’ previous work, you might still enjoy this one.
