Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy

Initially, I wasn't entirely sure how to feel about this book. It felt a little immature for a book that really could have been new adult with the age of the characters. I come from a YA background and prior to this year, I read almost exclusively YA contemporaries so I don't know if I've just outgrown the genre or if this book just wasn't written well in that aspect. I found a lot of the characters fairly lacklustre despite their opulence and generally didn't care much for the plot. It was still an enjoyable read and while it took me a while to really get into I found myself really enjoying it by the end. I loved the relationship between Gemma and Eric though, that was definitely the stand out for me and I found myself reading mainly to get to more of their scenes. I'd possibly consider continuing with this series as I'm interested to see where the story goes.

Track

"I love that whole album, Coney Island Baby, I like the whole way that album was done. It’s got a cooler, very studio thing going on with all these ‘Oohs’ and ‘Ahh’s’ on the vocals all over the place. “With ‘Crazy Feeling’, I can’t be sure, but I think I heard it on the radio when it first came out. I think I was going to kindergarten somewhere; that was the ‘60s for me! I heard that ‘bum, bum, bum’, that sort of that chiming thing that goes on, and I really liked it and the sound of the guy’s voice singing. “At this point, it could’ve been a vivid dream that I’m remembering, but I think it actually was that song that I heard that on the radio and mixed in with everything else it caught my ear, at whatever age I was, whenever that song might’ve gotten a couple plays on a radio station. We would’ve been listening to a New York station at that time, living in Connecticut, or a Connecticut station"
