This was my first Roan Parrish novel and it did not disappoint. I’m such a sucker for rockstar romances but this one was different from many others in a way that was unexpected. One of our main characters struggles to maintain his sobriety throughout the entirety of this book and Parrish beautifully describes it in a way that is relatable. Our other main character struggles with low self esteem and self worth despite being a famous rockstar. Eventually both find the courage to do what they need to do in order to be happy. I went into this book blind and wasn’t expecting to feel so many different things but I’m so happy that it ended well. I’ll definitely be picking up books 2&3!
