Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to review this title and join the blog tour!
I loved You’d Be Mine so I knew this one wouldn’t be any different. As I expected, I sacrificed sleep to finish this book in less than two nights. I am a diagnosed insomniac and take prescription medication and it seriously didn’t even work when reading this book. Erin Hahn beat out my Lunesta and Trazadone cocktail. Kudos.
This book follows Luke, the son of a punk rocker who runs a podcast with his twin brother in the sound booth of a club run by Phil, Vada’s mom’s boyfriend. A class project brings them together and they discover their long-time crushes on each other are reciprocated in the most heartwarming and mostly uncomplicated kind of way.
The characters:
Vada is music obsessed (with good taste mind you) and loves dance. She aspires to study music journalism and runs her boss’s music blog. The dynamics of her family are a little messy with her dad being estranged and kind of a d%$k, but her mom is supportive and Phil is the step-dad that we all asked for (those with d^%k dad, might I add). her best friend, Meg, is also super supportive of Vada and I want her to have a book of her own!
Luke was okay, a little on the bland side at times and I didn’t quite understand his need to hide his talents. I wanted him to be successful and famous, but the more I thought about it, the more I saw myself in his character. Although he was not my favorite male romantic lead, he did have the qualities that kept him afloat.
The romance was almost actualized and did not have as much tension as I hoped. But it didn’t stop the cuteness overload when these two finally got together.
All in all, I will be a lifelong fan of Erin Hahn is she keeps overriding my sleeping pills this way.
Oh, and can we have a playlist Erin, please??? I’d love to listen to all the songs these two texted to each other as well as everything else.
