A great read from start to finish. Loved the characters and the plot. A must read, you’ll be glad you did.

As a debut novel, this is quite good. I really enjoyed the timeline changes. I finished this book very quickly and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys romcom style books- which are a favorite of mine.


Also, a billion bonus points for the Taylor Swift references.

I got an ARC of this from @netgalley. I thought it was ok, if a little clunky in parts. I will also admit that my expectations were a little high because it’s based on a Taylor Swift song. I then googled the author and found out she’s 16! It’s quite an accomplishment for someone so young. It was very sweet.

Aspen is a singer/actress. To hide from a scandal, she returns back to her hometwoon. She sees her first love Roman again and falls in love.

Love the small town. Aspen is terrific and so is Roman. I especially love the Taylor Swift Easter Eggs. A fun book.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

I highly enjoyed this sweet romance book. I loved the way it was written. I found the story flowed well. There was emotion written into every chapter. And I loved the detail of linking a Taylor song to every chapter.

We meet Aspen, a highly loved actress turned into major pop star. But she is dealing with a scandal involving her best friends boyfriend. Aspen returns to her hometown and parents to get away from the cancel culture fallout. Upon returning home, we meet Aspens first love, Roman. The story then flips between Aspen and Roman when they dated in high school and present day while the two figure out their never forgotten love and the mess of drama due to Aspens celebrity status.

It’s a cute, cozy book for Christmas. And I can’t wait to see more from Kimi!

Aspen Moore is a starlit in Hollywood caught in a scandal. She’s proof that money doesn’t buy happiness. Twenty three with fame and fortune but proof that money doesn’t buy happiness. The scandal has caused her to have to return to her hometown in PA where she reconnects with her first love, Roman. She knows it can’t be anything more than friends but their pull is magnetic and cannot be denied.

I loved everything about this story. It’s the right amount of cozy that makes you want to bundle up with hot chocolate and wrap yourself in this book. For a debut, this is good! My only gripe is that some of the chapters ended kind of abrupt or they seemed to miss a little something but overall I really enjoyed it. Having just moved to PA myself, I extra loved the setting and I absolutely loved the Taylor Swift nuggets!! Having a playlist at the very beginning really set the tone. This is one I’m going to want to have a physical copy of and if you’re a Swiftie, you love it!

Thank you NetGalley and Parson Press for the ARC, and giving me the chance to read and review it honestly.

Thank you NetGalley for gifting me a copy of this book.

Combining Taylor Swift and romance? Brilliant. I had the BEST reading experience. The playlist at the beginning of the book was that perfect. I loved having a song for each chapter, especially as I knew and loved most of them.

The story in itself was everything: cute, sad, lovely, and much more. I’m having a hard time finding the right words to describe how easy it was to get into the book and get attached to the main characters.

I will definitely be on the lookout for books from this author and other books combining my two hobbies: reading and listening to TS.
