Thank you NetGalley and Julie Soto for this ARC!! 

First and foremost after reading this, I can confidently say that Julie Soto knows how to write antagonists!! Because boy oh boy was I [appropriately] angry at the characters I was definitely supposed to be angry at! 

I absolutely loved how dramatic and romantic this story was! The Cello Scene was definitely as iconic as people were saying, and I adore how Julie Soto was able to be so lyrical and descriptive with the instrumental scenes! I really felt immersed and could picture the scenes easily in my mind. 

I enjoyed reading how Gwen and Xander navigated through their musical careers with their love story and the growth they went through with their self confidence and rediscovering who they truly are. It was easy getting into their minds and emotions!

Overall Julie Soto's Not Another Love Song was a wonderfully dramatic and beautifully lyrically descriptive!
