I know this sounds cheesy, but Nate Plus One is just such a great book! Nate and Jai (LOVE the names!) are awesome as protagonists and their whole relationship is well done. The supporting characters are so warm too!
Having music in a story has become one of my favorite elements! I enjoyed getting to read the lyrics and imagining how the songs would sound!
My only complaint about this book, and why I didn’t give it 5 stars, was that I wish it was a little longer. We are dropped into Nate’s life on a day and taken on this journey with him. I definitely enjoyed the journey, though I would have liked…more pining, I guess?
Still a lovely read with a different setting - I mean, Africa? Very cool! Also, I would not be opposed to a sequel where Nate has become a permanent(?) member of Infinite Sorrow or a successful songwriter while the band gets HUGE!
