2,75☆ So, it's not a bad book, but not for me. The premise sounded interesting, but I guess books about stars/celebrities might not be my thing. It's good that they kept it realistic and showed the mistreatment in the music industry, but it was a bit too much exhausting drama to read. Didn't have much fun with it, though I did like their relationship. That was the best part ❤️ The story is about "Saturday," the most popular boy band at the moment. Consistent of Ruben, Zach, Jon, and Angel. It's time for their world tour, and with that comes increased pressure to be perfect, especially from their management, who dictates their every move. Ruben just finally wants to come out to the world. He hates that he has to hide that he is gay, as well as his big crush on Zach, who is just realizing he might not be as straight as he always thought. The others also have things to face, and one of the main topics is drug abuse and toxic parents (the amount of time I wanted to strangle Ruben's mum). I thought that was all handled well, just so depressing to read. There was always something happening just when you thought it's finally time for some good moments. Not that there weren't any, but just not enough for me in-between all that drama. Being a star just always sounds awful 🙃 The relationship itself was nice, but that mis/non-communication after their first kiss was so annoying omg. The book felt really long in general, but that part just dragged on forever. I could understand Zach's problem, but the way he handled the situation wasn't fair, imo. There was such a long time where they didn't interact at all. Also, something that kept bothering me was that their "tone" was written too similar. We have a double POV (which I usually like), but way too many times, I had to check whose POV we were in atm. They do have different personalities, but when it's not about something specific, they sounded really similar. I did like the end, but their "plan" was so not thought through. I literally had to shake my head and was like, "Well, what did you think would happen?!" 😅 There were just too many things that annoyed me, but, as I said, it's not that the book was bad. I just wasn't feeling it personally 🤷🏻♂️
