REVIEW

Rating: 3.5*

Hailey is back in town to try and save her family's legacy. Her brothers are band members and one of them would prefer to be out chasing the female fans than performing. Playing together is the only thing that got them through their deaths. By playing with brothers and trying to help, she potentially finds her own place.

Marshall is a music producer on a last chance. He has been churning out the same safe music for boy bands. Charged with stepping outside his comfort zone and finding someone new and fresh at the Seaside music festival, he stumbles across Hailey. 

For both these characters it was a journey of self-discovery as the two of these step outside their comfort zones. The whole story happened over a period of a couple of days. If you are looking for a quick and summer read, then this is for you.
