So I just finished reading Lilac by B.B Reids. Idk how I feel about it tbh. I thought I would hate it (when I eventually figured out what was going on) but it surprised me and it was okayish. The book was definitely not my style but the writing was good and the author knew what she was doing... Story is about 3 Rockstars who are looking for a new guitarist, before their world tour and their manager hires a girl called Braxton, and they all thought Braxton was a guy until they met her. 
The 3 guys were not impressed, and they shunned her out, were rude, and ignored her most of the time. But they all thought she was hot. So she eventually dates all 3 of them 💀 don't know how. Definitely not my cup of tea I don't think I'll read something like that again.

I really enjoyed the way this relationship unfolded and the different aspect they were able to fulfill for each other. The twists caught me by surprise and things ended up being more emotional than expected.

this is one of those books where you experience more than just what you read. idk if that makes sense but the characters are so intriguing to me in a way I can’t really explain, there is a depth to them and the story which you can find by looking at the details and beautiful way the author has told their story
