La historia no se entendía del todo porque el autor, no es que no escriba bien, pero dios, NO SABE ESCRIBIR ROMANCE.

📖Book Review📖
Six Ways to Write a Love Letter by Jackson Pearce
My Rating:🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

Book reviews says that if you love Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus, this book is for you. I am fine and not too crazy about Miley, well.. since Hannah Montana and that was just because I have a daughter but I do love Taylor Swift!

Six Ways to Write a Love Letter is a bittersweet romantic novel about a pop star Vivi Swan and her life under the public spot light. Just like Miley and Taylor and the way they react to how people see them becomes an inspiration to fuel their art!

Vivi has a long string of ex-lovers with whom the media knows that were the subject of her songs(sound familiar?) found herself once again in a rocky relationship while on tour but for some reason to deal with this latest breakup is a less of a trouble but more of a relief. Thanks to her fill-in drummer that is so willing to work with her on her songs! Yes, colabs in music is also a collaboration of hearts!

I am really surprise of how sweet and good this book make me feel. I enjoyed the premise and the romance is just right!

Special thanks to Netgalley and Sourcebooks for the copies to review.

If you love Daisy Jones and the Six, Opal and Nev, Songs in Ursa Major, this romantic take on the lives of music artist is a breath of fresh air! Grab yourselves a copy and enjoy the show.

This one was a lovely read. I really enjoyed reading this one. I just love this kind of books.
4 stars read for me

This was a unique romance that I enjoyed reading! Overall, I would definitely recommend trying it!

I received an e-ARC from the publisher.

To all of the fans of Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus, this book is for you. It’s the perfect romance book to read if you are looking for a misunderstood singer falling in love. We will never know how much a singer goes through in the public eye. But this book will give us some previews of how the public eye affects them and their relationships.

I truly felt for Vivi. She really tries her best in her career and her personal life as well. But it’s never easy when you are in the public eye, especially in a relationship. Relationships are always the hardest for Vivi. And it’s going to be harder when she starts falling for Remy.

Remy, and Vivi may be total opposites from each other, but yet, they make more sense together. Their connection is really true, especially when they are writing music together. It brings them closer when they are expressing their thoughts and feelings.

Thanks NetGalley and publisher for the e-ARC in exchange of an honest review.

At first I didn't know that this book is inspired--based(?)-- on Taylor Swift, but I can pick the references quite easily. I thinks this is a very interesting take of the music industry, the princess pop-star who always have hits based on her relationship and a subtitute drummer-slash-producer from the indie rock band who's struggling to make a second hit. touring together. I rarely read a romance book with a male character POV only on it, so it's refreshing to me, though it makes me craving for Vivi's POV too. I absolutely love the music talks, shows, and the story of how they create the song and it's progress. I also like Val characters and the Young brothers' backstory! Though the ending was quite rushed (at least for me) and feels fairy-tale like, I found myself enjoying this book a lot. Overall rate: 4/5

P.S: I want to read Val's story if the author ever has thinking about one!

Many thanks to the publisher for approving me to read this early! 3/5 stars overall.
This review will be short as this book was disappointing for the most part. Almost all of my July reads followed that pattern though. I did not know that Six Ways To Write a Love Letter was inspired by Taylor Swift. But as soon as I started reading it, I caught the references! I got really excited as I am a huge, huge fan. I mean literally, if Ms. Swift had 5 fans only, I'd definitely be one of them.

That's exactly why I am so sad that I did not enjoy this one. I waited and waited for Vivi's POV but that never came. The plotline needed Vivi's POV to flesh things out, so everything felt a bit incomplete to me. The stereotyping and everything got too much for me at times. To be honest, I couldn't warm up to Remy as much as I wanted to. I liked some of the conversations that Vivi and Remi shared though. The ending was pretty great as well. Cheesy for sure, but Vivi deserved it. :') I really liked how the book explored different sides of the music industry. I skimmed through some music-based paragraphs though - those made the story slow-paced in my opinion.

Overall, this was a good book, but I had higher expectations. I really enjoyed the author's writing, so I might check out some of her other or future works!

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this book!

This book is a fun read; most people will definitely enjoy it! I particularly loved reading about what life is like on tour for the protagonist. The beginning was a little slow, but picked up in a nice way. I think overall, the book was fine, but the ending felt very unresolved. There also seemed to be a discrepancy in the reciprocation of feelings between the two main characters that was hard to get over. I'd still recommend this book to people who like romance!

I wasn't able to get into this book very much because it was told in Remy's POV. That's an interesting concept and one not really done often so kudos to the author for being different. But that said, usually a dual POV is good, in my opinion, because it frames the characters better and in this case, I think Vivi needed it. That said, it was a bit plodding in the beginning, got a bit better towards the middle and end and finally, I felt like it was a good story overall. Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for this read.

Kind of sad after reading this, I wanted to love this, but I just couldn’t.
I was just not engaged. I know I picked this up because of the TS aspect. I didn’t like that it was basically one POV, the stereotyping and all and all just so much drama. The miscommunication, the cheating, all of it just made me negative where I was looking forward to something deep that leads to an upbeat, makes me wanna fall in-love type of romance. Serious topics are discussed, which is needed, but water them down for me later with some fluffy romance. By the end, everything felt rushed and squeezed in, and grand gestures replace actually talking about their issues. Afterwards I was like, these two won’t last. And that’s not the type of love story I want to read about, you know?

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.

I am a total Jackson Pearce fan so when this one came up to read I was like yes please give me now!! Then I found out this was a Taylor Swift fan fiction or something and that was a joy to find out. I love Swift so this hit all the marks. I loved the POV and the story was unputdownable.

(Thank you NetGalley and publisher for an eARC of the book in exchange for an honest review)

I’m not much into the music industry but I was intrigued by the title of this book. However, it did not live up to my expectations. Didn’t enjoy the plot a lot plus felt it got kind of slow at some points. Maybe people who are into music industry stuff will like it better.

I wanted to like this book so much more than I did. There wasn't anything terrible about it, but nothing else really stood out to me. I actually didn't realize it was SO heavily inspired by Taylor Swift until I started reading, which I'm a little embarrassed by as a Swiftie. I think the fact that it was only told through Remy's point of view really limited the narrative, and so it still felt like there was a wall blocking us from Vivi.

3.5

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. He’s prepared to play some big-ticket gigs and get a suitable payday. But when he and Vivi get stuck on the bus en route to their next show, Remy begins to see what other people don’t. When they start to collaborate on a new song, a song that could take Vivi’s career in a new direction, things begin to get muddled with their changing relationship and the possibility of being scrutinized by the entire world.

It's rare that I've read a romance told entirely from the male's perspective, but that is what we get with Six Ways. It's an interesting idea, and it kind of keeps this mysterious idea of Vivi Swan intact throughout. We only see her character through Remy's eyes. Yes we see her actions and the things she does (or doesn't) do, but it's somewhat clouded by the fact that it's only Remy's perspective.

It paints the entirety of the story in an often muddled light because Remy himself is not very forthcoming with his own feelings and emotions. There were times when it almost felt like he was a passive character. Kind of just letting life slide by not wanting to shake things up too much. Even when Vivi and Remy begin to collaborate, he takes the producing role which means he's basically enhancing her ideas. She's at the forefront. He's in the background.

All this is kind of almost a commentary on how much Vivi is in the spotlight. She's a not-so-secret stand-in for a real-life currently very famous pop singer with country roots. I thought that the portrayal of the things Vivi has to deal with because of that fame on a daily basis was very sympathetic. I could understand why she's painted as cold and removed from those around her, she's been burned too many times by people wanting to get ahead.

I like the dynamic of Remy and Vivi together. I just kind of wish we had gotten more in-depth in regards to their relationship. It all felt very surface level. Without the added layer of Vivi's perspective, and with Remy's character being pretty stoic most of the time, I never felt that connection that I needed to feel between them to make me really want them together at all costs.

I'll say the ending was pretty satisfying if the momentum of that build-up had been going strong throughout the whole book, I probably would have given higher marks. But as it stands, the story was satisfying and sweet and gave a raw kind of look into life as a popular musician.

4.5 stars Vivi Swan is a Taylor Swift-esque pop star who has made her fortune writing break-up songs. Her public persona is carefully curated. Remy Young and his brother Val escaped their Christian extremist upbringing and have had some success in the music business. But, after their first song is a hit, they can't find that "second song" and are relegated to playing small clubs and studio sessions to pay the bills. When Remy Young is called up to replace her injured drummer, sparks fly, and the carefully curated image becomes harder to maintain.

This was a great book about the pitfalls of fame and the cost of public adoration. Thank you to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca for the opportunity to read a digital ARC in return for an honest review.

A pop princess and a drummer.

This love story, told from a man’s point of view, is very sweet. Maybe too sweet? It was progressing along quite well until the transition to the European tour. Their relationship and it’s problems just couldn’t hold my attention.

Thanks For the ARC to read and review.

This one is for all of my fellow T. Swift fans!

I loved pretty much everything about this book! It has everything, rock and roll, celebrity relationships, forced proximity, and the sweetest love story!

I’m not going to lie and say the references to T. Swift aren’t everywhere. Vivi is fictional… but she is highly Taylor-Esque right down to her cherry red lipstick. I loved her character and I loved the way Jackson Pearce showed the lonely side of celebrity, especially from the view of Vivi’s super celebrity. In fact, my one complaint is that I would have liked to have had alternating chapters with Vivi’s POV as I would have loved to see her world through her eyes.

This story is told by Remy, our drummer/producer/good guy who goes on tour at last minute and ends up falling for the star.

The slow build to their relationship felt believable and I was so invested to watching their feelings develop that I couldn’t stop reading.

This book had no spice, it was closed door, but the relationship was so sweet and well done I loved it anyway. ❤️

If you’re a Swifty, get this book ASAP. If you’re not a Swifty you’ll still love it.

I recommend this one to anyone who loves the celebrity relationship trope, sweet romances, and Taylor Swift.

Thank you so much to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!

This Books Is PLEASE DONT BE IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE and WOULD IT BE ENOUGH IF I COULD NEVER GIVE YOU PEACE and IT’S NEW THE SHAPE OF YOUR BODY!

Clearly Taylor Swift-inspired, Six Ways to Write a Love Letter is just that: a love letter in all its versions and re-writes and adaptations.

Deep, dark at times, but full of heart, hope, and love, this novel is for anyone who has ever loved in any sense of the word.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book. I’m a fan of Jackson Pearce’s YA books which are a lot of fun so I was very open to trying her adult fiction.

Well, that was fun!

Vivi Swan, (think Taylor Swift even with the red lipstick) is touring and meets Remy Young, a drummer and hopeful producer who tours with her when her drummer breaks his arm. I love Vivi. She is talented and hard working and does open up to Remy about the challenges of being famous. Sure there’s lots of perks and fun stuff but there’s also a lot of insecurities and public opinion and privacy issues. It made her less of a performer/image and more of a full character.
Remy is also a great character. He’s struggling with leaving his brother for a long period of time, who is a very talented musician/songwriter but also recovering addict. I loved their relationship. There as something very loving and authentic about Remy and and his brother’s relationship. Remy STILL worries about him, even though he’s been clean for years. He will always worry about him and this anxiety has repercussions for him. It gave a realism and weight to the novel which I liked, and also made Remy into a real person.
The plot moves fast, with some challenges coming directly from Vivi’s fame and others coming from Remy. It was well balanced, easy to read and perfect for the summer. It’s romantic sure, but it’s also about brothers and family and fame and I liked that the most. A lot of books only focus on one thing but Pearce did a good job writing well rounded plot.
Overall, the Six Ways To Write A Love Song is the perfect summer read.

A sensitive and heartfelt romance between a pop princess and the new drummer on her tour. (Any resemblance to a certain real Miss Americana is, well, not quite coincidental, and yes, I listened to 1989 on repeat while reading this book.) It was a slow launch for me, as it takes a while to get the pair actually together, and while we spend the whole book in Remy's POV (an unusual choice for a m/f romance but I think wise, given the thinly veiled inspiration for Vivi), I found it harder to connect to him and his struggles on his own. Once they were connected, becoming friends and co-creators and oh so much more, though, I was all in, and thoroughly enjoyed this take on celebrity, creativity, and the perils of trying to maintain either artistic integrity or a healthy relationship in the public eye.

TWs: Alcohol and drug addiction, privacy violations, cheating, religious zealotry.
