I have owned this book for so long and I’m not really sure why I put it off for so long… I think the prospect of a rockstar romance kind of threw me off because it isn’t something I’d usually gravitate towards. But you know what? It was so good!

Lennon and Phoenix may be two of my new favorite characters… okay, he actually kinda had me being a full time hater there for a while but he turned out to be such a good dude. He really had to claw his way out of a deep hole, though. He was the type that did something borderline irredeemable and then somehow turned around and made me melt… 🫠 

Lennon was such a strong FMC and even though it was hard at times, I enjoyed a story about a female who wasn’t tiny and perfect. She was a real woman with curves and an attitude and I loved her for it. 

I wish Lennon’s dad would’ve been a bigger part of this story and that his part wasn’t so sad… but with a great story usually comes some form of heartache. I just hated it while it was happening. 

If I could wish one thing, it’s to know every single detail about how their lives panned out! I’d read a 50 page epilogue about what Lennon and Phoenix have been up to after we left them. I already miss them. 💔

Dude's committing arson and fucks the girl (who he has stolen his most famous song from) in front of the fire??? And in another scene, she wakes up handcuffed to the bed with a random woman between her legs while he touches himself and then makes this random woman kneel in front of him to cum on her face???

I think I need to desperately rethink all of my life choices because I didn't dnf the book

Major fat phobia.

Couldn’t recommend enough. Phoenix and Lennon’s love story is paved is heartache and deception, yet in the end there’s no one better for one than the other. Would have been a 5 star rating except I didn’t really care for the end and the epilogue left something to be desired, but overall, excellent storyline, Great spice too!
