I wasn't really cool with the way trauma and gun violence was portrayed in this. The only thing I really enjoyed was the music festival aspect

Felt a little superficial. Most of the plot happened in the last 80-ish pages and the rest kinda felt like filler. It was fine imo. Not badly written, but nothing special. It took me a while to figure out why I felt something was off and in my opinion, this books should have been written from Imani's POV. I think that would have made it more interesting. Mostly couldn't get into it I think because the characters weren't relatable for me. But that's a me problem.

This one is probably closer to a 3.75 for me, but it was still a good read! I really liked that she was able to deal with tough issues well in the context of this YA romance. I also liked the complexity we saw within these characters and that what they were going through spanned past just a music festival and a romance. That being said, I did think that some of the issues surrounding the romance in the last third or so of the book felt a bit forced (I do think what was brought up could have played out well, but the idea of it happening within the course of a day was a bit too much of a stretch). However, like I said, this was still an enjoyable book!
