Lonely for You Only by Monica Murphy
4.0
”Every song. Every lyric. Every word. It all has to do with you.”
Lonely for you Only was the perfect read for those who love classic new adult romances with well loved tropes like fake dating. Scarlett is a young socialite trying to break out of the “party girl” expectations that come along with being her father’s daughter and get the guy she’s been crushing on for years to finally make a move. Tate Ramsey is just trying to get through his first live performance since he tanked his once thriving career. What neither of them know is that a well intentioned spur of the moment kiss at Scarlett’s birthday party, after Tate’s epic performance, is about the change both of their lives.
I enjoyed this one and think anyone who enjoys new adult will like it. The characters definitely read as angsty and are still in that becoming adults and figuring it out part of life. I thought Scarlett and Tate’s back and forth was fun, because trust even though they have a spark from the start, they are not feeling one another at first. I will say that this one is pretty slow burn and I feel like the characters get to know each other more off page than anything, but I still enjoyed it and I’m glad with how it all worked out.
I read this one as an e-book and an audio book and I absolutely loved the audiobook version of this story. I think it was much easier to picture these two characters and the voice actors did a fantastic job communicating their feelings through their narration.
Sidenote - if Scarlett and Tate are still looking for a ship name, then I vote Scramsey 😂
