I enjoyed the girls in the story. Toni is such a wonderful character because she is flawed, but she nourishes the way she is to be better throughout the book. I know this has romance which is more subplot to me, but the growth of seeing Toni’s love for music and dedication was enjoyable to read. I didn’t necessarily dislike Seb, but he wasn’t my favorite. He indulged toxicity in his life, and it hurt the others around him. He had character growth too, but I’m kind of side eyeing the kind of relationship he had with Candi and Lilly. There will be more books on the rest of the band, but I do hope I get more and more on Toni. She’s definitely going to stay my favorite with Tiff/Kayla being a close second. Also, I wish there was more of Yvette because she seemed like an amazing bestie.
