"Maybe you underestimated me."
"Maybe you misjudged me."

What a lovely surprise of a book! <3 This one was one of those cases when you randomly decide to pick up a book without knowing anything about it and it ends up being a GREAT idea. This was also my first book from this author and now I'm excited to check out more!

With seemingly two different worlds colliding, Kyle and Piper's story was lovely to follow. Both of them were ridiculously stubborn and without the people around them knocking some sense into the, they'd be a lost cause let me tell you. 🥲 They were distinctive characters and they had their own personalities, dreams, wishes, which I appreciate so much in a romance book. Both sides had their valid reasons when it came to a part of the plot (i.e. getting Kyle to agree to resign his contract) and it was interesting to read about Kyle's view of how negative some aspects of fame could be.

I 100% LIVED for the domesticity in this - all the cozy, cute, domestic vibes we were getting even if these two stubborn fools refused to acknowledge their attraction. 🤭  It was the slow realisation, the acts of kindness, the thoughtfulness, the actual owning up for saying the wrong thing. 🥹🤍 And realistic conversations too!

"But I'll write a song that has nothing to do with beer or trucks or heartbreak, just for you." 🫶

The side characters were great too! I'm SO tempted to go and read the two books with characters from this one - you don't need to read them before this to follow this story - but I would love to get all the background info! Adding them to the ever-growing tbr pile! 

Overall, a cosy read for sure. It gives you all those angsty, small-town feelings whilst combining everything with a little glimpse of glamour. 

Why is it that every time I read anything with country music references that I want to go and watch Nashville?! lmao🫣
