Publisher Description
He was my first love.
My first heartbreak.
The boy who made the one mistake I’ll never forgive.
Roderick Wilder and I grew up side by side—two kids tangled up in music, mixtapes, and lyrics that felt like they belonged only to us. Then he destroyed everything we had and disappeared, chasing a future without me.
Twelve years later, he’s back.
Not the rising star I remember, but a man who’s broken, scarred, and desperate to rewrite his story.
The problem? I’ve already started falling for someone else—an anonymous stranger I trade late-night messages with, sharing lyrics and reliving the bands that shaped us.
He feels safe.
He feels new.
He feels like everything Roderick isn’t.
But soon I might need to choose between the stranger who makes me believe again . . .
and the boy who once destroyed me.

Customer Reviews
Absolutely Wonderful
This book was a love letter to music. I read straight through, loving the playlists and the
Characters.
Nope! Can’t finish.
31% in and still no face to face interaction! My head hurts with all the song dissections. I can’t go anymore. I kept hoping it would get better but no, still the same action over and over again with how many emails!?! I wanted a story not a classroom study of the songs.
