The Girl with Stars in Her Eyes by Xio Axelrod
5.0
Toni had a lonely childhood, until she met Seb. As teenagers they were more than best friends, they were family. Until Seb turned 18 and left town. Now, as an adult, Toni is rocking it out in Philly’s music scene when she gets an incredible opportunity to join an up and coming band. When she gets to the audition, guess who is there...Seb, working as a manager for the band. Can Toni get past that? Will Seb ruin her shot at fame? Can she ignore her feelings for him and focus on the music?
Yes, this book has a romance at the center but it is so much more than that. First of all, I adored that so much of this story focused not on the romance, but on a badass group of female musicians. These strong women were at the center of the story and I was here for it. I would 100% be fans of the Lillies if they were a band IRL. Toni was an incredible protagonist who I was rooting for the whole time. I was in awe of her strength and her tenacity. Truly one of my favorite romance MCs. And of course the love story. I love Seb and Toni. I cannot wait for everyone to read this book, I just know it’s going to be a huge hit!
