My thanks to Penguin Random House for sending me a complimentary copy through Edelweiss. 

OKAY so I wish I had more courage to DNF this. But I will be clear about what I liked and didn’t like. 
I was fond of the angst and longing between Valerie and Caleb. It felt like I was watching a movie where two strangers still so clearly in love with each other desperately try to run away from their feelings. It was quite hilarious to read about them going back and forth to fight the tension and lingering chemistry. I am a firm believer that you can’t be friends with your ex so their banter and dynamic together were fucking romantic. 

However, I just wish that the other characters were more fleshed out. Considering that this book is about a former band getting back together, they felt a lot like side characters instead. They didn’t get enough page time for the readers to enjoy as we didn’t exactly have much to work with. There’s so many unresolved plot points in the other characters. I expected character development from all sides of the story and not just the two perspectives this book was told from. Valerie also annoyed the hell out of me because of how selfish and childish she was and I truly feel like this story should’ve ended differently. I had high expectations for this book but it was poorly written and unfortunately quite cringe to me.
