re finally able to be together again! Could have been better, but I still enjoyed it! Second chance romance, friends to lovers, love triangle(sort of), beach setting, dual timeline, and dual POV! If you're looking for a clean, beachy book with the second chance romance trope then this book is probably worth checking out!30:T622,2.5 Stars rounded to 3

WWTQ: How do you live under a rock while living in a midtown high-rise?

I could not get past the absurdity of this book. The heartbroken FMC somehow lives in NYC, has a job where she talks to tons of people, and never learns that her ex-boyfriend is essentially this world's John Legend. He's an award-winning song writer, and we're supposed to believe that she doesn't know any of this because she never bothered to google him.

Then gobot-John Legend organizes an open mic night music festival in her long island beach town because he's sort of trying to stop her marriage? His motivations were unclear and also strange. Have neither of these people heard of email? Also, since he is supposed to be a big deal in the music industry, it would be nice if he knew how music rights worked at a very basic level. He did not.

There's also a subplot about infidelity and a kid that I would guess was originally an illegitimate daughter-to-adopted sister but then that got changed in editing and the result didn't make much sense.

Even if I could get past the insanity of the characters' actions, I could not for the life of me, understand why these people even liked each other. The FMC had one character trait: Martyr Magpie and the MMC is Dyslexic Musician.

I agree with the fiance, Magpie's family were all crazy. Yellow is an awful wedding color and crafted wedding invitations are kitschy. Sometimes, simple, like sending an email, is sufficient.
