4.5 stars. This was a really cute love story set in the world of a pop star. I really liked Remy as a character in particular. You know it’s well written when you feel the butterflies too when the characters finally kiss!

I was provided an advance copy of this ebook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I’m not sure how I feel about this one still. I liked it while I was reading it but I found it very forgettable. I did really like the characters and the story line.

Im shocked by how much i enjoyed reading this one. This is a novel told soley from the male point of view. I was very skeptical at first but reading it i was pleasantly surprised!

If you like to escape into the world of celebrity drama and unexpected romance, this book is for you. This book has humor and heart, the novel explores themes of fame, authenticity, and the power of connection. You will find yourself rooting for Remy and Vivi as they navigate the complexities of their budding relationship amidst the chaos of the spotlight.

It was a cute read, honestly not my favorite read of the year but a good palate cleaner in between thrillers. I wanted something light and cute and this books delivers just that.

This was a great mix of romance and humor and it reminded me a lot of Taylor Swift and how she always gets flack for writing songs about her exes.

Definitely appreciated a romance from a guy's point of view. However, this wasn't what I had hoped for. It wasn't awful, but definitely not my cup of tea.

"Six Ways to Write a Love Letter" is like an epic love letter to Taylor Swift, wrapped up in a romance novel package. It's all about Vivi Swan, this mega-popstar who's known for her tall, blonde, red-lipstick-wearing self. The story mostly unfolds during her insane concert tour, and here's the twist – Remy, our dude, ends up as the drummer, filling in for some last-minute injury.

But what's really awesome? The writing is as smooth as butter, my friend. If you're into music or you're a Taylor Swift fan, this book is right up your alley. And here's the kicker – it's not your run-of-the-mill romance novel. Most of those flip back and forth between the girl and the guy, but "Six Ways to Write a Love Letter" switches things up by giving us the whole scoop from Remy's point of view.

This unique take brings some extra flavor to the mix. It assumes you already get the deal with female pop stars and the drama they go through. No need for a full-blown lecture on it – you just know what's up. Plus, Vivi's a bit of a mystery, kind of like those cool, enigmatic male characters you often see. It keeps you guessing, and that's part of the fun.

And let's not forget that book cover – it's drop-dead gorgeous. You'll spot it from a mile away, my friend!

An easy enough read but overall it wasn't for me - didn't love the characters or the storyline all that much.

This was a truly delightful book. I love how the POV was solely on our male MC. I don’t think this book would have had the same impact if Vivi POV had been included. I really loved the flashbacks to Remy’s past. Where I found Vivi to kind of he an ethereal character (which I believe was purposeful) I felt like we really got to know Remy very well. Loved this one.

Probably because I am an absolute swifty at heart but I loved this book. I thought that it was the perfect balance of happenstance romance with all of the lovable feels. I did sort of wish that this was Dual Pov because I do think that it would have added an even closer level of connection between the characters, but even without that I thought it was overall super cute!

A behind the scenes story that leans towards Taylor Swift fanfiction as we delve into the world of Vivi Swan, the pop star, her muse, her songs, and the meaning behind those catchy lyrics. A woman that popular, powerful, and popular has a difficult time trusting those closest to her, even in her inner circle.

Remy Young had a trouble upbringing as he embraced his love of music and his desire to escape the religious cult environment with his brother. Leaving the one person he cared about behind he embarked on a journey to find himself, his music, and his dream.

What will happen when he has the chance to fill in for a Vivi's drummer on her latest World Tour? Can he keep his thoughts to himself, avoid the press, and be true to his values?

A chance to take a step into a world of assumptions, fanfare, and music. Who will inspire the next love song? Who can be trusted?

If you enjoy sweet fiction, with behind the door references, overcoming addiction, expectations, and finding your true joy check out this book.

I had never read anything by Jackson Pearce. Because, let's face it, I'm a sucker for a celebrity romance, the synopsis drew me in, but I realised I was still taking a gamble.
A bit slow to start but I loved it!

Six Ways to Write a Love Letter by Jackson Pearce takes readers on a heartfelt journey inspired by the career and themes of Taylor Swift. With a focus on love, self-expression, and personal growth, this novel offers an engaging exploration of emotions and relationships.

One of the notable aspects of this book is its loose inspiration from Taylor Swift's career. Pearce skillfully incorporates elements reminiscent of Swift's music and lyrics, creating a nostalgic and familiar backdrop for readers who appreciate Swift's artistry. The connection to Swift adds a layer of enjoyment for fans who resonate with her themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery.

The concept of using love letters as a central theme is an intriguing premise that Pearce explores with creativity. Through the protagonist's journey, the novel emphasizes the power of written words in expressing emotions and capturing the essence of love. The exploration of self-expression and vulnerability offers moments of introspection and connection for readers.

The characters in Six Ways to Write a Love Letter are relatable and endearing. The protagonist's growth and the dynamics within her friendships provide a sense of authenticity to the story. The bonds depicted are supportive and nuanced, echoing Swift's emphasis on the importance of connection and understanding.

Pearce's writing style is engaging and flows smoothly, capturing the essence of youthful emotions and experiences. The incorporation of snippets of love letters and references to Swift's music enhances the emotional impact of the narrative and creates a familiar atmosphere for fans of Swift's work.

However, while the novel draws inspiration from Swift's career, there are moments where the plot feels predictable and follows familiar coming-of-age tropes. The narrative lacks a distinct twist or unexpected turn, which may leave readers hoping for a more original storyline.

In conclusion, Six Ways to Write a Love Letter offers a tender exploration of love, self-expression, and personal growth, loosely inspired by the career of Taylor Swift. Jackson Pearce skillfully incorporates elements of Swift's music and themes, creating a nostalgic atmosphere for fans. While the book may not break new ground in terms of plot, its emphasis on self-discovery and the power of words make it a worthwhile read for those seeking an engaging and heartfelt coming-of-age story.

Vivian Swan was a copy of Taylor Swift.
Was Tuesday Selena Gomez?

The story had sweet moments, but it never really took it all the way. There were parts that made me feel things but unfortunately, it only lasted for a few seconds. The mood would quickly change in the next paragraph when all I wanted to do was to be wrapped up in that feeling and be carried away.

LOVED:
- The behind the scenes look at touring and concerts and tour buses.

DIDN'T LOVE:
- The flashbacks into Remy's life kept interrupting the live story vibe. That time could have been used to develop the love story more by focusing on Remi and Vivi and the time they spent together in the present day.
- May have suffered from being too on-the-nose Taylor Swift.
- Remi gets all the backstory because it is told from his POV. How dare you make Taylor a character and not make her the one whose backstory we get?!

3.5 stars rounded up

Remy Young plays the drums for a studio and he's in a band called Quiet Coyote with his brother Val. They escaped their ultra religious family in Florida. Remy is chosen to tour with a pop star Vivi Swan. They accidentally end up on the same tour bus. They end up chatting and getting to know each other. They decide to work on a song together.

This was a fun behind the scenes look at a tour romance. I enjoyed the book after pushing past the slow beginning.

Remy needs funds and needs them quickly.
He decides to take on Vivi Swan on her tour.
Then there was a mix up with the buses, he mistakenly got on Vivi's bus instead of the band bus and is forced to interact with her for hours upon hours.
They work together on a new song, but then he's not given credit and they have fight.
When she finally comes to her senses and so does he, they realize that the song they've written is just love letters to each other.

Six Ways to Write a Love Letter is fun and fast, with characters who have legitimate reasons for their romantic difficulties that made me want to keep reading to figure out how it would all get resolved. Unfortunately, it let me down somewhat at the end, but overall it was still a very fun read and one I can wholeheartedly recommend.

Thank you to Sourcebooks Casablanca and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Session musician Remy Young, once in a one-hit wonder band with his brother Val ends up going on tour with pop sensation Vivi Swan. Vivi is known for writing hit songs about all of her relationship break-ups.

I'm afraid this book couldn't hold my attention. I loved how it was told from the male POV, but the problem was, I didn't see much chemistry between them for me to care, especially about Vivi. I'm afraid I had to skip parts and then give up. I do love the premise though - two musicians, she's more famous than him. Plus issues of addiction with his brother. But it just wasn't my cup of tea. I am sorry Jackson Pearce. I have no doubt you worked hard on it, but I think this needed a better heroine for me to be invested. I do love Remy though. I think he was a very interesting character with a backstory.
