I like Maddox & Roscoe and was rooting for their HEA (which they very much got). I find the story overall a bit repetitive and it's not holding my interest Also, I find their relationship too codependent and it feels like there's too much 'need' instead of 'want'. Another thing I don't like is that there are hints about them, both on social media and from other characters, even before anything happens between them. There is no build up, Maddox flirts with Roscoe from the start, Roscoe keeps distance at first, but then gives in, and now they meet in secret.

The relationship development isn't working for me either, mostly for the reasons mentioned above. The only thing I know about Maddox is that he is a great singer and dancer, he is lonely and he is gorgeous.

Half way through the book, the only thing I know about Roscoe is that he loves Maddox and he is hot. I don't think I got to know the characters well. We don't get to see how their relationship changes from them being just a manager and a singer to something more. We are thrown into the story at a point where Roscoe and Maddox already have feelings for each other. From the very beginning I felt like there was one part of the story missing. I can understand when it's the band members, but putting the manager in the spotlight was too much for me. Talking about fame, every single thing someone does in this story ends up on social media, everything is trending. I was hoping I'd still like this one because of the author, but it reminds me too much of similar stories about boy band members I've read before. I don't enjoy reading about the music industry and everything that fame entails. I generally don't like stories about celebrities, and for someone who is not a fan, I've definitely read too many. I really tried, but after three weeks of putting it down and picking it up again in hopes something would change, I just have to accept that this is not working for me. I managed to finish it, though it felt like it took me forever, and I can only confirm what I said in my original review. I liked the audio, but my feelings about the book haven't changed. Russo, who is one of my favourite narrators. I decided to give this story another try because of the audiobook narrated by Nick J.
