This was a truly delightful book. I love how the POV was solely on our male MC. I don’t think this book would have had the same impact if Vivi POV had been included. I really loved the flashbacks to Remy’s past. Where I found Vivi to kind of he an ethereal character (which I believe was purposeful) I felt like we really got to know Remy very well. Loved this one.

Probably because I am an absolute swifty at heart but I loved this book. I thought that it was the perfect balance of happenstance romance with all of the lovable feels. I did sort of wish that this was Dual Pov because I do think that it would have added an even closer level of connection between the characters, but even without that I thought it was overall super cute!

A behind the scenes story that leans towards Taylor Swift fanfiction as we delve into the world of Vivi Swan, the pop star, her muse, her songs, and the meaning behind those catchy lyrics. A woman that popular, powerful, and popular has a difficult time trusting those closest to her, even in her inner circle.

Remy Young had a trouble upbringing as he embraced his love of music and his desire to escape the religious cult environment with his brother. Leaving the one person he cared about behind he embarked on a journey to find himself, his music, and his dream.

What will happen when he has the chance to fill in for a Vivi's drummer on her latest World Tour? Can he keep his thoughts to himself, avoid the press, and be true to his values?

A chance to take a step into a world of assumptions, fanfare, and music. Who will inspire the next love song? Who can be trusted?

If you enjoy sweet fiction, with behind the door references, overcoming addiction, expectations, and finding your true joy check out this book.

I had never read anything by Jackson Pearce. Because, let's face it, I'm a sucker for a celebrity romance, the synopsis drew me in, but I realised I was still taking a gamble.
A bit slow to start but I loved it!

Six Ways to Write a Love Letter by Jackson Pearce takes readers on a heartfelt journey inspired by the career and themes of Taylor Swift. With a focus on love, self-expression, and personal growth, this novel offers an engaging exploration of emotions and relationships.

One of the notable aspects of this book is its loose inspiration from Taylor Swift's career. Pearce skillfully incorporates elements reminiscent of Swift's music and lyrics, creating a nostalgic and familiar backdrop for readers who appreciate Swift's artistry. The connection to Swift adds a layer of enjoyment for fans who resonate with her themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery.

The concept of using love letters as a central theme is an intriguing premise that Pearce explores with creativity. Through the protagonist's journey, the novel emphasizes the power of written words in expressing emotions and capturing the essence of love. The exploration of self-expression and vulnerability offers moments of introspection and connection for readers.

The characters in Six Ways to Write a Love Letter are relatable and endearing. The protagonist's growth and the dynamics within her friendships provide a sense of authenticity to the story. The bonds depicted are supportive and nuanced, echoing Swift's emphasis on the importance of connection and understanding.

Pearce's writing style is engaging and flows smoothly, capturing the essence of youthful emotions and experiences. The incorporation of snippets of love letters and references to Swift's music enhances the emotional impact of the narrative and creates a familiar atmosphere for fans of Swift's work.

However, while the novel draws inspiration from Swift's career, there are moments where the plot feels predictable and follows familiar coming-of-age tropes. The narrative lacks a distinct twist or unexpected turn, which may leave readers hoping for a more original storyline.

In conclusion, Six Ways to Write a Love Letter offers a tender exploration of love, self-expression, and personal growth, loosely inspired by the career of Taylor Swift. Jackson Pearce skillfully incorporates elements of Swift's music and themes, creating a nostalgic atmosphere for fans. While the book may not break new ground in terms of plot, its emphasis on self-discovery and the power of words make it a worthwhile read for those seeking an engaging and heartfelt coming-of-age story.

Vivian Swan was a copy of Taylor Swift.
Was Tuesday Selena Gomez?

The story had sweet moments, but it never really took it all the way. There were parts that made me feel things but unfortunately, it only lasted for a few seconds. The mood would quickly change in the next paragraph when all I wanted to do was to be wrapped up in that feeling and be carried away.

LOVED:
- The behind the scenes look at touring and concerts and tour buses.

DIDN'T LOVE:
- The flashbacks into Remy's life kept interrupting the live story vibe. That time could have been used to develop the love story more by focusing on Remi and Vivi and the time they spent together in the present day.
- May have suffered from being too on-the-nose Taylor Swift.
- Remi gets all the backstory because it is told from his POV. How dare you make Taylor a character and not make her the one whose backstory we get?!

3.5 stars rounded up

I just reviewed Six Ways to Write a Love Letter by Jackson Pearce. #NetGalley

Six Ways to Write a Love Letter is fun and fast, with characters who have legitimate reasons for their romantic difficulties that made me want to keep reading to figure out how it would all get resolved. Unfortunately, it let me down somewhat at the end, but overall it was still a very fun read and one I can wholeheartedly recommend.

Thank you to Sourcebooks Casablanca and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Session musician Remy Young, once in a one-hit wonder band with his brother Val ends up going on tour with pop sensation Vivi Swan. Vivi is known for writing hit songs about all of her relationship break-ups.

I'm afraid this book couldn't hold my attention. I loved how it was told from the male POV, but the problem was, I didn't see much chemistry between them for me to care, especially about Vivi. I'm afraid I had to skip parts and then give up. I do love the premise though - two musicians, she's more famous than him. Plus issues of addiction with his brother. But it just wasn't my cup of tea. I am sorry Jackson Pearce. I have no doubt you worked hard on it, but I think this needed a better heroine for me to be invested. I do love Remy though. I think he was a very interesting character with a backstory.

This book started off slow but I was intrigued by the characters. It was a lovely romance. It was a cute read but would of liked more from the story.

Vivi, the main character, is basically Taylor Swift. She writes breakup songs, and all the songs feature guys that she’s dated in the past.
Remy is a new drummer on her tour, and he’s heard she’s very private and doesn’t mix with the band. He inadvertently gets stuck on her bus, and they end up working on a song together. Remy realizes that the song variations are love letters, but he worries if they don’t work out, he’s going to be the next song victim.
I liked this peek behind the scenes of a rock ‘n’ roll tour, and I really liked the ending. 4 stars.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed as in this review are completely my own.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for an ARC of this book.

Remy Young and his brother Val left their oppressive home in Florida to make it with their music careers. After a one-hit wonder, their band Quiet Coyote is going nowhere. Remy makes money by being a session drummer and producing on the side. When an opportunity to tour with the famous - and famously cold - Vivi Swan presents itself, Remy can’t turn it down.

This book is not the light & fluffy rom-com I expected. There's a solid romance, but there's also so much more.
It's a book about the bond between two brothers, the power of music, what you are willing to sacrifice on the altar of fame, and what part of your real self you need to preserve.

Unfortunately this was a DNF for me. The premise was great and I thought I would love it, but I couldn't get invested in the story and the characters.

I thought I was going o hate vivi and I did in the beginning but she really grew on me. I loved the almost enemies to lovers aspect of this and I couldn't get enough. I loved how they worked together and the ending was perfection.

I tried to read this book twice and to be fair, both times were the audio versions and maybe it was just the robotic sounding narrator but I could NOT get into this story at all. I was bored from the start and things didn't seem to be improving by around 20% so I made the call to DNF. Unfortunately not the book for me. Perhaps reading the print copy would have changed things but I didn't have time to try that. Much thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review!

Six Ways to Write a Love Letter by Jackson Pearce fulfills one of my favorite tropes: the famous musician falling in love. This slow-burn romance is inspired by T. Swift, which is fun.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for sharing this book with me. All thoughts are my own.

READ THIS IS YOU LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT! That's all that I can say. I enjoyed this book so much and I would recommend it to anyone who loves reading books about the music industry and rom-coms!

This story is a unique one and the first I have read from this author. While the story begins slow, eventually I was really able to connect with Remy and Vivi. I struggled a little with the flashbacks, but not enough to not continue on with the story. I wish that the character of Vivi had a little more growth but overall I enjoyed the story.

Six Ways To Write a Love Letter is true to its name in that it truly is a love letter to the music industry and those who operate within it- most notably, Taylor Swift. As a major swiftie, I was so excited to dive into a book so unabashedly inspired by my favourite artist, and it did not disappoint. A single POV told from the perspective of struggling drummer Remy, Jackson Pearce tells the story of how a pop icon and stand in musician find common ground and romance amidst the trials of fame. I loved seeing their bond develop as they wrote music together, and the way paparazzi and social media was tied in was such a unique way to introduce emotional conflict.
I did find myself hoping for a little more depth in all areas of the book, from the characters and their backstories to the emotional connections between them, but overall I greatly enjoyed the book for what it is and will definitely be keeping the author on my radar!
