This book began as a 5 star read. I loved the plot of them meeting in high school and then being forced back together years later. I thought the conflict over the song was really well done. 

It lost me in all the back and forth though. She cares about how he’s feeling, she hates him again, she’s going to pretend to love him just to hurt him later, now she’s aching when he goes through something tough. 

Also, [SPOILERS] just way too many extra plot points. The long lost sister/mom, Memphis and the reality star, George sending pics to the tabloids, etc. by the end I was just begging for this book to be over.
