This really was the perfect blend of my two interests; international gymnastics and romance!

You can really tell the author knows what she’s talking about when it comes the gymnastics part of the plot. It was the perfect level of detail without overwhelming the central love story. 

While some parts of the plot felt a tad repetitive, I was never bored. My biggest complaint is that we will have to wait until the next book to see the rest of Sasha & Danny’s story. 

***Thank you to Book Sirens for providing me with an advanced copy for review.

As a Swiftie and a reader this should have been my perfect book. Unfortunately it reads as bad fanfiction from someone that's bitter they missed out on Era's tour tickets. It's almost as if the authors found every eye-roll inducing and baseless headline about Taylor from the last 15 years and used it to make Riley unlikable and one dimensional.  I'm also disappointed with the supposed love interest. He really gave us nothing! Other than his initial familial obligation he barely has any personality. Once you get past the obvious TS easter eggs this book loses it's appeal.
