This book was way to long, it started to get repetitive. I liked the beginning of this even though it was hard to read with the fat phobia and bullying. Also I didn’t really see the relationship between the main characters honestly. Then we did a time jump and of course she has a weight loss plot. I did kind of like the second half, but she hardly tired to get back at him. I like the jealousy though. The plot line with the dad and sister were good. I also liked the side characters. I don’t know this was fine, but it was simply to long and phoenix got off and forgiven to easily.

I stayed up all night to finish this one. Holy cow. 

First of all, the cover is smoking hot. 
Ok then. Phoenix and Lennon have all the chemistry and all the angst that I look for. The sex is off the charts. The supporting characters, from the band to Lennon's family, are perfection.
I read this book in KU and immediately bought it. I ordered the paperback too. I want the words. All of them.
And the audio. Erin Mallon is one of my favorites, and Teddy Hamilton, he's always perfect. They knocked it out of the park. Of course.

I loved this book, loved Lennon, couldn’t help but love Phoenix - even when he made mistakes. I would have given this a five star but I was sad that we didn’t see the outcome of Lennon’s plan at the end or Phoenix reaction to what she was prepared to do for him. Highly recommend anyway!
