I am blown away by this book. As a girl who grew up on classic rock, this was everything I wanted and more. Toni is complicated but oh-so lovable. Her doubts are understandable and relatable - she struggles but still finds a way to shine. Seb’s character is fleshed out well, too. The dual POV complements the parallel character development well, and I couldn’t be happier that the miscommunication trope didn’t show its face. Great read with amazing character development, a captivating plot line, and a slow burn romance. Highly recommend.
