I read this an ARC from Hope Cavendish for an honest review.
Let me start with the fact that this was Hope’s first book that was translated to English. Because of that, I think there was some dialogue and verbiage translations that didn’t come over smoothly that kind of impacted the overall review rating. It took me over 3 weeks to fully get myself to finish this book because I could not bring myself to DNF it. I hate DNF’ing books and when I realized that there was a potential language barrier, I felt like it wasn’t fair of me to not take it into consideration.
This book was written in third person omniscient - so a good chunk of the story is the author telling us what happened rather than taking us through the motions and conversations in the moment. Once again, this could potentially be due to the language barriers, so I’m trying to keep that in mind in my review.
The story follows two sets of best friends: Danny and Amber, and then Caden and Jasper. Danny is a musician and Amber is his childhood best friend who is also his music manager. Caden owns a string of nightclubs and Jasper is his business partner and childhood best friend as well. The four work together to promote Danny’s music, as well as Caden’s nightclubs and we see how their friendships truly mean the world to them. Amber finds herself getting close to Caden, but after some childhood trauma (sexual abuse warning), she finds herself pulling back from him and running from her issues.
OH. And miscommunication is a huge theme in this one. It literally had me yelling at my kindle. Truly, if Caden would have just came out and asked question he had been curious about, like 30% of the book could have been skipped and the frustrations would have subsided. I mean, I get it - where is the fun in that???? But I’m definitely learning the miscommunication trope is NOT my favorite and is another way to drive me insane (and not the good kind).
