I wasn't really expecting much from this book and my expectations were met. I liked how easy this book was toread, and I found Emmet lovable, and some or the side characters were nice to read about.

But going from hearing about how Emmet was dreaming to become country music's first gay superstar, and then Luke's chapters where the f slur is said felt like complete tonal whiplash. Luke's character and character arc also feels like something I have seen a million times in romances about gay men, and it does not help that he is an asshole towards Emmet most of the book.
