Mari and TJ meet in a rideshare on the way to a music festival and have an instant connection. Over the course of the weekend, they learn more about each other and how to make the most of their futures.


This was some cute insta-love! And also let's be honest, it's everyone's concert fantasy, right? To go in for a concert and come out with the love of your life? Ugh. The dream!


TJ and Mari were just a delight and complemented each other really well. I loved TJ's caution when it came to consent and his openness with his feelings. I also appreciated the love and acceptance from the sibling relationships at play, with TJ/Tyler and Mari/Sierra.


A bit of a trigger warning, Mari is dealing with an abusive parent. I was so glad that we saw Mari trust her gut and know that things were only going to get worse if she didn't speak up.


Overall the stakes felt a little low, but it was still enjoyable!


Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for the review copy!
