An interesting rom-com where the POV was all in the male main character's head. While this book was a slow-burn romance, it kept me entertained until the very end.

Thank you to SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca and NetGalley for an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was a good book! It started a little slow, but then everything started to ramp up and I couldn't put it down. It was well written with a great love story.

I love a good music rom com and this one truly hit all the spots and notes. Thank you Sourceboooks casa for the ARC for my honest review.

I admit, I had both the eBook and the audio of this book and I needed it. I tend to get squirrelly when an embarrassing or stressful situation pops up for the characters, if I care about them, so listening to get through to those bits and then picking up the book to plow through them, then listening again when I was ok with listening helped me to not DNF.

That is a "me" issue and not the book's issue, just to be clear. I can only handle so much (and honestly, since the Pandemic, I haven't been able to tolerate much), but I've learned ways to get around my hang ups so I can finish what is really a good and cute book instead of putting it down because I can't handle the scenes where the romance is at a cross-roads. I can't think of the term now, but it's where the bump in the road happens that the MCs have to get over so they can have their HEA.

What really shined for me was the fact that we were in Remy's head the entire time. It was completely from the MC H's POV, not the MC h. We saw his relationship with his brother, which I don't normally see in contemporary romance. It was done so well I actually thought the author was male, but just checked and NOPE a woman. Soooo...maybe not a realistic peak into a dude in love's head. But it FELT authentic.

Ok, kind of sad this isn't a contemporary romance from a male POV written by a guy. I want to see more romances written by men. They seem to be rather under-represented in the romance genre. But having the MC H being the POV the entire story is a good start. Even if it is written by a woman. I guess I just want to peak into the head of a man to try to understand them, lol.

I admit, I know NOTHING about Taylor Swift and this is apparently an imagining of her life, but when I read that in someone's review, I could see the parallels and it kind of made the story more REAL for me. Like, this happens to people who I will never meet, lol. So it was interesting and kind of sad in a way. It's a very PUBLIC way to live.

I enjoyed the different POV, the ending was sweet and it really made it clear that fame is something I am glad I will never have, lol. 3.5 stars, rounded down because DARN I wanted to this be by a guy. That's all my hang-up though. I give the audio 4 stars, the narrator did a good job and the brother sounded just how I would imagine a former hard partying rocker would sound, lol. So 4 stars, en finale.

My thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for an eARC copy of this book to read and review. My thanks also to libro.fm and the publisher for an advanced Audio copy to listen to and review.

I loved the concept. I really, really loved the concept. But wow, by the end of this I was desperately rooting for them to break up. Not enough chemistry to pull off the complications and I really think it would have been better served by a dual POV.

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. A cute cover. Enjoyed the novel. Highly recommend

Lots of Taylor Swift Love here so if you're a fan, you'll love that. It didn't really pull me in so I did dnf the book. I think a lot of people could love this book, it just wasn't for me.

8/10
Six ways to write a love letter by Jackson Pearce was a good book to read if you like cute ya romance. The story had a slow beginning but despite that i quickly found myself liking this book. There were a lot of ups and down in this book, which i usually really like. The characters were nice too. Especially Remy was very likable and i enjoyed it every tine he appeared. Viv was not as great though. All in all a solid read.

This was a cute read filled with lots of ups and downs. I enjoyed the character of Remy as a musician and wannabe producer, my husband is a drummer so that hit home for me. There was depth to him but not so much for the character of Vivi. She was cold and immature, and I do not understand why Remy was attracted to her in the first place, but maybe it's something that I just couldn't see. I enjoyed the information about the music tour and all the cities they visited. I wanted more of Celeste in the story. Her character as a saboteur was underplayed and I felt I could have used more attention on her. I enjoyed the book but would have loved more from the story in the end. 3.5 rounded up.

I’ve read several of Jackson Pearce’s young adult novels, and was excited to get my hands on her first adult fiction book.

I really wanted to like this book a lot more than I did. The characters were hard to connect with and the story line was a bit vapid. I also have a quibble with the religion aspect of Val and Remy’s childhood. At first they were supposed to be a cult like religion and then it seems they grew up Southern Baptist or Assembly of God? Neither of those denominations forbid medical intervention, or kiss their fingers before leaving church, or scream prayers at people. It’s just inaccurate, confusing, and mildly insulting.

Many thanks to Sourcebooks Casablanca and NetGalley for this digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I started out thinking I wouldn't like this book because of the slow start at the beginning but it got better pretty quick. I liked how the entire book was from Remy's perspective (male character). Usually it's from the girl's perspective or both people. This made it a little different in my opinion. Remy and Vivi work together and become friends, and the ending was a sweet one. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced reader copy.

2.5 stars.
The character i enjoyed in this story was Remy, but it was not enough to give it more stars or hold up the story. Because he and Vivi had no chemistrt whatsoever. Vivi was boring and uinteresting.

This was wonderful and I loved it. Thinly veiled and inspired by T Swift this was my catnip and I ate it up. Told entirely from the MMC, Remy's, POV I really enjoyed the contrast of where his career was and Vivi's. It was such a smart choice to really see the impact of celebrity and the pressures it puts on people from the outside looking in.

Remy was such a dynamic narrator. I really enjoyed his relationship with his brother, His past growing up in a super religious community and how that impacted his choices in life. How he slowly, accidentally fell for Vivi, while peeking inside her world. Tons of easter eggs for us T Swift fans but also not exactly aligned either. The third act had me breathless. I loved the way these two tried to resolve things through music which is so important to both of them.

Honestly just a great read and just what I needed.

Steam: 1

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it. 5 Stars from me! Great characters, and easy reading that I didn't want to put down.

The Taylor Swift fan in me wanted to love this more, but the avid reader in me was just disappointed.

Jackson Pearce's Six Ways to Write a Love Letter is a romance written around stardom and the consequences of this. Written from Remy's point of view, we get glimpses of Remy's childhood and what influences the way he perceives the world. It explains how he and his brother, Val, start their band, end up without a contract and how Remy ends up as a producer. We get all of the glimpses of how Remy falls for Vivi, the star for who he is temporary drumming for as an opportunity to get more producing gigs. Vivi is very strict with maintaining her image and reputation but she falls for Remy while working with him. Typically ups and downs occur but eventually the couple does find each other. I think I would have understood more if we had some of Vivi's perspectives to really understand why she is so guarded and strict with maintaining this specific image.

This took a while to get going. I actually almost DNF'd this at first. But then once the tour started going, it became a lot more fun. The story stumbled a little near the finish line, with the way it all got resolved in the end, but it was mostly just fine.

Was this meant to come across as Taylor Swift fanfic though? Because that's what it sort of read like at times. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. It felt very realistic.

I also like the fact that the entire story is told from Remy's POV. I feel like most straight romance stories are double POV these days, or single POV told from the female main character's perspective. So living through this story from Remy's side of things was a nice change of pace.

I got the e-ARC through Netgalley in exchange of an honest review. All opinions ahead are based only on my experience reading the book.

I was excited to read it? Absolutely
However I must admit it was rather hard to empathized with Vivi and the lack of her pov really didn't help. From then everything else was hard to conect with and went downhill.

Thanks again Netgalley and the publisher for the chance.

This story was beautifully written and I enjoyed it so much. It's a lovely romance, and a beautiful love story. There is also a fantastic sub plot surrounding the development of improvement of sibling relationships that, as a sibling, was beautiful to read and felt true to life.
