This story is part of a duology about the Bellinger Sisters, with the first novel focusing on Piper, the LA party girl, meeting and falling for Brendan, the local King Crab boat captain. We now follow the story of Hannah, the younger sister, always the supporting actress, never the leading lady, as she steps out of her comfort zone and tentatively dips her toe into the world of movie scores whilst she harbours a crush on the film's director.
Following an idea that she puts out there, Hannah and the whole movie crew move from L.A. to Westport, where she ends up in the spare room of Fox, local Casanova. But they are just friends, right? This cues up more misunderstandings and miscommunications as they each unravel their own issues.
I borrowed a copy of this book from Taunton Library and listened to it on CloudLibrary. I read this for the 52 Book Club Summer Reading Challenge 2024, for prompt 19, team handball, author shares same last name as an Olympian.

Enjoyed the musical parts of this story the most, but found the gratuitous sexual content too much. The texting was a more realistic part of the relationship development than the in-person stuff, which was essentially all Insta-lust, all the time. An enjoyable read, regardless. I did feel sorry for the MMC and the way he was treated by so many people.
