I really enjoyed this book. I liked how Williams set the book eight years ago to give us a look into Roy's past. We got to see the early days of FireNine and how it all began. Roy was struggling to help get the band noticed all while taking care of his sick mother and working an illegal job to make ends meet. While practicing in the garage one day he meets Rosemarie while she jogs by. The next year is a whirlwind juggling the band, his mother, and his relationship with Rose. And eventually the band blows up but everything else falls apart. The scene with his mother around 54% killed me!Then we come to present day when the band is famous and Roy is extremely in love with Kelsey. He is finally happy. But the past comes back to affect his present. Roy makes some stupid mistakes but his love for Kelsey is clear. I thought Roy was a great guy, his 19 year old self was so sweet! I'm glad there's going to be a novella continuing their story because it did feel a little unfinished, but it was great getting to know the mysterious Roy Sykes. Looking forward to Montana's story!
