Six Ways to Write a Love Letter by Jackson Pearce, Jackson Pearce
3.0
Thank you to Netgalley, Jackson Pearce and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Vivi Swan is America's sweetheart with a long list of exes and the breakup songs to prove it. Our main character, Remy Young is a dreamer who's goal is to become a producer. When these two are thrust together in a tour bus mix up, everything comes together for these two.
This was a forced proximity, strangers to friends to lovers, boss/employee, music industry love story.
And it is what drew me in from the start.
The writing was easy to understand and the author wrote like she knew about the music industry. When it came to the storyline, I liked the overall arc of it, but I guess I just wasn't a fan of where the story actually ended up going. Vivi Swan closely resembled Taylor Swift (breakup songs about her exes and the media constantly berating her about it, Nashville, the tall blonde with trademark cherry red lipstick) this story practically screamed Taylor Swift. Definitely not complaining about that aspect because I am a huge fan of hers. I kind of wish we got more of a story with Remy and his brother Val with their backstory and addiction and making it back into the music industry.
I think some people will like this book if they're fans of the pop star romance and light fluff pieces, but to me I just couldn't connect at all with either character and that is a huge thing for me in books. To me that is what makes for a great story if I can connect with the characters. I am also not a huge fan of the cheating trope at all, and I was generally surprised when it came up nor did I like how it was handled in the book, and why I gave the book a lower rating amongst other things. I felt like a lot of things were left open-ended and the ending was too rushed.
Read if you like: forced proximity, pop star romances, boss/employee, Taylor Swift persona vibes, road trips, music world tours, globe-trotting, strangers to friends to lovers, songwriting
