Not a fan of this book. I should've seen it coming since I wasn't in love with Malibu Rising, though in my opinion that book was much better than this one. The writing style is certainly captivating, and I kept turning the pages. However, as the story went on, I grew to dislike the MCs more and more. I couldn't find a single likeable thing about either of them. I felt as though there were jumps in the storytelling and I didn't understand the character arcs of both girls. With no music industry background, I've no clue if that aspect of the story is authentic, but I don't doubt that the story is rooted in reality.
The blurb claims that the story is about friendship, yet I found none. There is no point while reading when I sensed any platonic love between Eva and Alora. I was so much more interested in side characters who appear very briefly, like Ade (Eva's boyfriend), Julia (Alora's mother), and Katerina (Eva's sister). The story is definitely more plot driven than character driven, so if that's not something you enjoy, this one mightn't be for you. I personally saw part of the ending coming and wasn't surprised in the least, but it didn't satisfy or sit right with me.
