You had me at the Dave Matthews reference."A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or another they will fall for each other, maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe forever."I really liked this book!  This is a best friend to lovers/rock star novel.  It was a great combination of the two and took a unique path to tell their story.  Noah has just won a reality t.v. show that catapults his music career to heights no one saw coming.  Unlike other rock star romances, we get to watch Noah's career take off and see how fast everything changes for him.  There are lots of "behind the scenes" things and social media integration that really makes this book realistic and hilarious.I was immediately hooked from the first page and ready to join the Lockette Fan Club.  I enjoyed the writing style and the author is equally talented with lyrics.  I kind of wanted a soundtrack to go with the book, so I could listen to some of the songs.Noah and Chloe's connection was simply perfection.  The two had an unbreakable bond and I loved how their relationship with one another always came first.  Their banter and inside jokes made for a fun and entertaining read, and the sweet and tender moments made by belly flutter.  I normally get annoyed when I see things like Disney references (I don't know why), but this had some Peter Pan references that were inside stories from their past that absolutely stole my heart.The only downfalls for me were the angst and twists.  I am an angst fan, but it seemed that this book dragged for me at times and I just wanted the couple to get on with it.  There were also some twists that added to drama to the story, but felt a little thrown in to me.  That being said, I think that there are many people who will love the twists. They just weren't for me.  The story and relationship between these two is so beautiful that I really didn't think some of it was needed.  These two were good all on their own.Overall, I would recommend this book.  It has a little bit of something for all romance lovers: swoon, angst, mystery, and suspense.
