Justine James is a talented singer in a mediocre band with a very controlling songwriter. Dillon Pierce is the guitarist and song writer for a talented band that is becoming very popular. Dillon is attending a show where he sees Justine performing. Despite him knowing immediately that her band is mediocre, he sees the immense talent and potential in her immediately. Justine has been a huge fan of Dillon's band, and more specifically, has had a huge crush on Dillon and his musical genius. When they meet it is clear that they share a serious musical connection and understanding. Dillon gets Justine's band to tour with them as the opening act, and despite their strong friendship and obvious attraction to one another, Justine is not going to give into anything as long as Dillon is living the rock star life with the reckless lead singer of his band Ash.Years pass, and both characters go through levels of success at different times. Through all the ups and downs, Justine and Dillon remain close, but various issues keep preventing them from acting on their desires. Both characters at different times realize that their windows of opportunity may never align, but neither can deny what feels meant to be.If you like a long slow burn, this book is for you. It hooked me from the beginning and kept me engaged throughout. There are a lot of emotional elements at play as we watch both characters struggle, suffer, and thrive. The story spans a lot of time and both characters go through different transformations, some good and some bad, while always maintaining a strong friendship throughout. There is angst all over the place in this story, and boy did I feel it. Through it all, I enjoyed taking this journey with these characters. I really cared about both of them and was really hoping that they would be able to sort things out and live the life I knew they could have. I recommend this to those looking for a story about music and love.
