I don't often rate books five stars, but this was my favourite read of 2023. This was the first book by  RACHEL LACEY that I have read, and I can't wait to read more. 

I can't put into words how much I loved this book. 

After singing together at an award show, Anna lands the opportunity to sing as the opening act for the Eden tour. Not only would it be a dream come true for any singer to be able to perform as an opening act for such a big star as Eden, but this is an even bigger dream come true for Anna, who has been a fan and loved Eden since she was a teenager. 

I enjoyed seeing not only Eden and Anna's relationship grow together but also how their individual character develop. 

If you love sapphic romance, this is a must-read, especially if you love an age gap or celebrity romance.

I read the first book in the series a long time ago and wanted to read the rest. I read this book to give me a reminder of the story before I read the rest as I couldn’t remember the full story. 

The artwork in this book is beautiful and matches the style I picture the book in.  The story is much more fast paced compared to the book so it’s definitely helpful as a reminder.
