A huge thank-you you to Netgalley and Berkley publishing for sending me a copy of this second chance romance debut.
Valerie and Caleb had a failed secret relationship when they were younger and part of the band Glitterbats. It ended with their separation and the bands break up. Years pass and Valerie is spiraling and her reputation is tanking. As a last pitch effort, she tries to bring her old band back together - and realizes she might have feelings still for Caleb. But the band is only together for the lead up to a one night concert. Will hearts prevail?
I honestly hated Valerie - she was attention and fame hungry. I felt she took advantage of sweet cinnamon roll Caleb. She did absolutely get what she deserved but her redemption felt too convenient and quick. Overall I do love a good second chance romance and this fit the bill.
