This was my first Julie Soto book, and it was really good!

I know nothing about Star Wars or Reylo. What I do know is that if a book is former reylo work or inspired by reylo, I'm going to really enjoy it. I also know nothing about classical music. Julie Soto was able to write a story about things I knew nothing about and made it easy to understand and really fun!

Gwen and Xander were great characters to get into the heads of and complimented each other really well. Gwen was a very likable MC for me, and her struggles felt realistic, and I found myself rooting a lot for her. Xander is exactly the type of guy in a band that I'd also fall for, so I totally understand Gwen's infatuation, LOL. His backstory and flaws were also done very well and felt very realistic.

Overall, I'll be keeping an eye on any of Julie Soto's future releases (and finally starting Forget Me Not like I keep planning to...)
