Spoiler

um so basically the book was pretty good. The twist at the ends with the principal being the mom of Misha was pretty cool. I liked the ending, it was satisfying with Misha being a rockstar and them being not only content, but happy. I like how they kept their romance alive along the years. We are so proud of Misha and Ryen (for her character development). Loved them as characters and loved their story.

A tense and mysterious premise that made the book hard to put down. Rock music aesthetic in the book created a compelling connection to real world and the music we listened to growing up. But maybe the steamy bits sandwiched in the middle of the story, with each “encounter” slightly more convenient for the plot than the previous, did not keep me as engaged. Maybe that’s not for everyone, but that’s good to know too.
