Thank you to Penguin Random House for providing me with an early copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a fun and adorable romance. It has Daniel, a guitarist with a reputation of a bad boy and Sasha, an aspiring journalist who can achieve her dreams if only she can deliver scoop on Daniel. I love reading about characters who are constantly in the public eye as I can see how their public and private persona clash. Daniel was one such character and I related a lot to him. I found his shy and awkward nature refreshing and absolutely loved the fact that he crochets when he's anxious. I felt that he was the main reason why I enjoyed this story. Sasha on the other hand didn't really mesh with me. Her character fell flat and I wasn't really interested in reading from her pov. Another thing that I felt missing was that I didn't find any emotional connect between the characters. She has a best friend but they didn't really feel like it. All the characters apart from Daniel could have been interesting if they had more emotional depth. That being said, this was such a cute story that I would recommend if you are looking for something light and adorable to read.
