When I brought this book I didn't know what to expect. I saw it in the shelves of my local bookstore and the tittle caught my attention. Upon reading the summary, I decided to buy it because it seemed like something that I would like.Â
And I was right! I really like it! Look, the way that the story is structured, I can see why people may think that this is a somewhat one direction fanfic turned book. There isn't anything that tells me that one direction (and the fan theories about some members of the band having a secret relationship) were an inspiration to the book but comparisons can be made. Nonetheless, lets review the book by what it is and not what could be. And I liked it! Its cute, heartwarming and has fluff, just the sorta of thing that I was looking to read at the time that I started this book.Â
So, I would recommend it if you want to read something sweet, light and cute.Â

I feel like I did not know all the characters, such as Jon and Angel, but even Zach and Reuben to some degree.
There were some wonderful moments and I cried once, but overall something felt like it was lacking.
I keep moving between a 3 and 4 star review.

Boy Band public image drama plus friends to lovers romance?! Joy.Â
I loved the duel authorship of having each author focus on just one half of the couple. It created a realness to the characters, especially in moments of relationship miscommunication/ duality in arguments.Â
The Angel side story was very interesting, and although YA sugar coated, didnât shy away from the addiction reality and itâs pain and consequences.Â
The ending felt a tiny bit rushed and I was honestly surprised when/where the story endedâŚ
I really wish they had included a âone year laterâ epilogue. I want MORE.Â
The main four boys are a very fun group of characters and I could enjoy reading about their bickering and playfulness all day long. I was worried that the story would dissolve into the classic âsolo careerâ angle but the love and commitment these four have for each other is strong and it was a joy to experience.Â
If this book were a drink:Â
It would be cherry coke. I have no idea why. It just fits.Â
