๐๐๐ข๐ง ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฌ: Valerie is an actress/singer that recently has had a lot of bad press. She comes up with the idea of getting her old band (Glitter Bats) back together thinking that it would change her image. She suggests the idea to her manager, while he talks with the rest of the band, she takes it upon herself to talk with Caleb (her ex, her first love). Caleb left the industry behind and became a choir teacher. He has no desire to go back - he suffers from severe anxiety and the stardom is a trigger. However, he canโt say no to Valerieโฆitโs only for the summer, for one concert but his heart is telling him something different!

โข Love the chemistry that CalErie had!
โข Beautiful Cover
โข I always enjoy when a book has news clips, text messages, song lyrics & social media posts
โข I really enjoyed the other band members even though at times Valerie REALLY annoyed me!
โข Great character growth (although I think Valerie could use a little more)
โข Such a cute ending!
๐๐๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฌ: This is a such a great debut novel by Jessica James! I really enjoyed the story itself. I did have a hard time liking Valerie. I thought she was really selfish and walked all over everyone but at the same time, I felt sorry for the way that the media really drug her through the mud. I did feel that Caleb and the rest of the band members forgave her a little too easily for ALL of the things that she did. I love Cinnamon Roll MMCโs and Caleb certainly fits the bill! I think it would be amazing if this was turned into a series and we could really get to know the other band members better!
