I downloaded this kind of on a whim, but I had such a good time reading this! It has a lot of my favourite tropes: celebrity romance, childhood friends to lovers, forced proximity.

Quotes

“Narrator Kimberly Woods is the solemn voice of Dylan, a senior who is laser focused on her violin audition for Juilliard.… Woods's dazzling characterization of Langston radiates the swagger and vulnerability of the boy who suddenly dropped out of Dylan's life several years earlier before becoming the singing sensation called Legendary.… Woods's tone swells with joy in the ensuing goofy adventures and heart-throbbing moments.” —AudioFile Magazine“Davis meaningfully explores the complexities around transracial adoption in ways specific to the Black community. Dylan’s friends are well developed and contribute to the storyline and growth of both main characters. The evolution of Dylan and Legend’s relationship is a nice, slow burn. A textured story of going from friends to something more, complete with a happily-ever-after.” —Kirkus Reviews“Davis thoughtfully tackles the complexities of transracial adoption, friendship, and not giving up yourself for love.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
