Another guilty pleasure read from Cora Carmack. I really like the story though it's cliche. The drama is enjoyable and I find it better than the first book. Good thing it's about Cade Winston, Bliss Edwards's best friend. 
 After being "best-friend-zoned" by Bliss, he's nursing a broken heart and trying hard to move on from her. He pretends to be okay in front of her and her boyfriend. It's kinda awkward and I can't help feeling bad for him. When he was approached by a girl and asked a favor to pretend to be her "boyfriend", he too curious to say no on this rebel chic. 
 Max Miller has a passion for music. With her tattoos and different get up, she's rebellious in the eyes of her conservative family. She's tired of being controlled and pretend to be someone she's not for her parents' sake. She wants to be free and pursue her dreams as a musician. 
 Between the two perspectives, Max stood out more. Her story is deeper and relatable. Pretending to be someone you're not to please others takes away happiness. I like Cade for being supportive and love her for what she is. He's a good guy and deserves to be loved. These two shared a good chemistry and I like their angst and banters. Overall, it's a great read.
