Emotionally compelling debut gay romance between a Filipino American pianist and his former high school bff / secret crush turned mega famous movie star. 

This works best as a love letter to music and the power of singing together. I thought the romance was a little weak, both because it’s told from a single pov and because the h/h don’t spend much time together in the present timeline. The pacing was a little off. And it’s definitely heavier than the light hearted cover implies.

I thought this was a really solid romance and one of the best audiobooks I've heard, loved the incorporation of actual music. I do hope it gets a stage musical version some day. Appreciated the diversity - AAPI & neurodivergent MCs, Black trans best friend. It was written to be a romcom tho (according to author coda) and I didn't really find myself laughing much. Also the MC could be randomly critical of (unimportant) things that made me dislike him a bit. He was flawed but not really given much character growth for addressing the flaws? And there was enough sad stuff in it (mind the triggers) that it really didn't feel like a romcom. Overall well written and I think more people should check it out.
