⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (3.5/5)

I enjoyed this one this one, even though it was a little predictable. The main characters were great and I felt like I could relate to them. The side characters were just as fun! Seeing the behind the scenes of touring and recording was great!

The only thing I didn’t particularly enjoy was the religious background of Remy and Val’s family. I felt like it was pushing this aspect a lot, but 1-2 mentions would feel like more than enough.

Overall, I’d recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun, lighthearted read!

Thank you Netgalley and Sourcebooks for the digital ARC for an honest review!

tw - serious religious abuse during childhood of MMC


There was nothing about the description or the cover that would suggest that this is more than a light, frothy and fun romance, however, as I read, I realized just how misleading the synopsis was. The religious and abuse aspects of MMC’s parents was awful and I had to skim over those parts.

If I had been aware that this was such a part of the book I wouldn’t have read it.

Due to that, this one wasn’t for me.

I’m seeing a few reviews calling “Six Ways to Write a Love Letter” “fun” and “lighthearted,” and while that is what I would expect from the premise and the cover, that’s not really what I was feeling when I read it. Instead of a RomCom it was a romantic drama.

The story follows Remy Young who ran away with his brother, Val, from their strict religious family to start a band. They signed with a label but were eventually dropped and Val hasn’t been able to write songs since he got clean. Remy is used to being his brother’s anchor and when he’s offered the job to go on tour with famous pop star Vivi Swan he’s nervous to leave his brother behind. As much as this story is a romance, it is also a story about the brothers learning how to live without fear of feeling like they are abandoning the other. I was a little uncertain about how the strict religious homeschoolers storyline was going to go, but it wasn’t overdone.

I read this book in one day and part of what made it so addicting was the setting of the music tour. The particulars of the tour, and the way relationships are built and navigated while constantly on the move were so interesting. Pearce also explored the costs of fame and how much planning went into cultivating Vivi’s image while she also fought to have some aspects of her life personal. The romance begins when Vivi and Remy get stuck on a bus together after a mixup and they begin working on a song together. The romance is sweet, and I couldn’t help rooting for these two as they try to navigate the press and professionalism and their relationship.

I started this review by saying what I thought this book wasn’t, let me try and put into words what it is. “Six Ways to Write a Love Letter” is an addicting look at the music industry and the crazy grind of touring for months. It’s a heartfelt story about brothers as they are forced to find out who they are when they aren’t together. It’s an exploration of a pop star who must always keep up a façade and calculate every move she makes. It’s a sweet friendship and romance that grows through music and collaboration. The writing is beautiful and the story is cinematic. I highly recommend reading it while listening to a good pop soundtrack.

A very sweet story, cute premise, interesting sub-characters, and engaging main characters. I did find that the Vivi Vivi character was very closely based on a Taylor Swift and the final conflict was a little predictable. .

Six Ways to Write a Love Letter was such a lighthearted, fun and interesting read.

From the beginning, the concept of the book, I was intriguied and I was keen to pick it up and I obviously had the opportunity to do so.

I don't have many complains about the book, just one. I only wished that it was a little bit longer, so the subplots could be more developed and organized.

I enjoyed the romance of the book and I found both protagonists endearing and lively in their own respected roles. I also liked seeing the progression of their relationship flourishing into something more.

Jackson Pearce has written a great adult fiction romance novel. Six Ways to Write a Live Letter was so much fun. The romance was cute, sweet and light.
The writing was good and flowed great.
Our characters grabbed my attention and I was hooked.

Sourcebooks Casablanca,
Thank you for this eARC!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the Arc of Six Ways to Write a Love Letter. This book was a fun, lighthearted read. The relationship between Remy and Livi was fun to watch develop, especially with the backdrop of writing a song together. As a musician myself, the backdrop of recording, touring and concerts was nice to read and gave the book a comfortable familiarity. The one criticism I have is that the background in the Christian community felt unnecessary and unfinished.
Overall, the author did a great job. I'd definitely recommend to someone looking for some light romance.

Fun, light story with lovely characters.

Vivi is famous for dating guys and writing breakup songs. Drummer Remy Young doesn't care. Touring with Vivi Swan means more money than he and his brother could ever earn on their own. And he's smart enough to keep himself away from drama.

Then a bus mix-up forces Remy and Vivi to spend hours together, and he's surprised to discover that she's nothing like the rumors said. When she asks for his help writing her next song, he's immediately on board—for professional reasons, of course.

Soon, it's clear that every variation of their song is just a different way to write a love letter, even as Remy wonders if he's setting himself up to be the next guy on her list of exes. Will their romance last?

A great romantic story. I love Vivi and Remy together. Their story is funny, sweet and emotional. Wonderful chemistry between the leads and the banter is terrific. Love this hollywood star story. :)

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.
