4⭐️! It’s always the quiet ones… and this book is further proof of that! In this second novel from Ana Holguin, we follow Celia, a struggling Latina composer in New York City, struggling to make ends meet until the opportunity of a lifetime is offered to work on the score for an upcoming show. The catch? She has to work alongside her college rival, Oliver.

Being the son of Hollywood royalty, Celia recalls Oliver being arrogant and entitled. But that was 13 years ago. Now? He’s grown into a man that surprises her. With them both having been excelling Julliard students, they’re forced to face their past history and a sudden kindling of something more. One that can risk everything for Celia.

I LOVEDDD this one. The yearning? The tension? The spice? A hot man with glasses AND who goes to therapy? It had my toes curling and left me wanting so much more. I enjoyed learning about Celia’s background, while navigating around her family life in Washington Heights. Oliver’s character was much more complex and I would’ve loved to see more of his backstory or inner thoughts. But overall, this was a perfect read for anyone craving a cute romance centered around music composition. I also absolutely loved learning more about the field!
