This was an okay book which is about a girl named Angie who is having family troubles, two people fighting for her art, being internet famous and is trying to win the band competition. Know that this is book three of the series. I didn't really enjoy the writing of this book in the way of pacing and plot structure. I enjoyed the setting, plot and vivid descriptions though. I felt that the pacing was too past and nothing was being discussed properly. The beginning of the book was great and I enjoyed it but then there were parts where a certain scene would be forgotten and then the whole family chaos started. For me, the family drama was very toxic and I was about to DNF the book but then I knew I had to pick it back up just to finish Angie's story. Also this whole book is also about the girl's band but the wasn't really in the book until the end.

I enjoyed the main character, Angie. She has to go through so much family drama and school fame that she was losing herself day to day. I loved seeing her pick herself back up and grow throughout the novel. Also her relationship with her brother was amazing and I enjoyed how they understood each other. There are also some great side characters in this book that were very involved with the story and some that were very toxic. There is also LGBTQ+ romance in this book with a love triangle. I didn't really care for the romance as there wasn't much development as I wish there was.

The ending was well done and I enjoyed Angie's growth throughout this novel. Pretty much the only thing that saved this book was probably Angie and her development. I was very interested in her growth as so much happens to her at one time. The writing of the book was mostly not it for me and I wish it was. I feel other readers will love it if they loved the trilogy.
