emotional reflective medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This book had sooo much potential. I loved this kind-of-second-chance, small town romance they had going on.

I loooove any book that has to do with musicians. And these characters! They had many opportunities for growth! But they ended up being even more immature, untrustworthy, and horrible at communication than they were to begin with.

I wish I could've loved Sammy a little more. I wish we could've gotten more of Max's story before the end (would have made him more 3-dimensional).

Instead of resolving the issues, there was a magical fix at the end, built from tragedy. It was, in my opinion, a cop-out so the characters wouldn't face any consequences or grow at all.
