The rockstar
There are lots of assumptions people make about rockstars. Shallow. Player. Addict. The truth? I’m none of those.
The even bigger truth…the only opinion I care about is her’s and she hates me. Her as in Gwen Matthews, my twin brother’s best friend, the unrequited love of my life. She thinks I’m a liar and a jerk which is why I pretend to be my brother when she needs help one night.
Except Gwen is a genius. Literally. So it doesn’t take her long to figure out it’s me and not my brother, but maybe, just maybe, she’s willing to give me a second chance. Because maybe when she looks at me, she only sees a rockstar with her best friend’s face, but when I look at her, I see my other half. She centers me in a way that no rhythm or line of lyric ever could.
The scientist
I have three priorities in life at the moment: finish my research, defend my dissertation, and get my Ph.D., so that I can actually figure out what I’m supposed to do with my life. Tom Mendoza won’t help me achieve any of those things. Yet I can’t help the sudden feeling that I’ve been completely wrong about him all this time.
The day we first met when we were both teenagers, I saw a glimpse of a sweet, funny boy that felt very much like a kindred spirit; awkward and full of energy and dreams. But that guy seemed to disappear and in his place was this stereotypical stupidly hot rock star that did not make sense in my world.
Being a scientist means being willing to admit when you’re wrong and reevaluating everything. I might not understand much about human behavior, but I can clearly see the tender underbelly that Tom protects. The subtle rituals he uses to stave off his anxiety. Yes, he’s ridiculously hot, but his soul just might be more beautiful than his face and I’m not sure what to do with that.
Especially when I find out that he’s in love with me.

My Review
I always love reading about a nerdy girl, and this one was no different.
Gwen is a scientist, trying to discover new ways to compost and save
the planet. Tom is a Rock Star, and the twin brother of Gwen's childhood
BFF.
When she calls out to her BFF for help, she ends up with Tom. He's grumpy, completely hiding out from the rock world he once knew, and is absolutely in love with Gwen.
There's a bit of the cranky rock star and brilliant but oblivious nerdy girl, childhood friends/enemies to lovers, and a bunch of side characters.
These two are great, but really Gwen's connection to Tom's neighbor Mr. Rogers (yes, he has a neighbor named Mr. Rogers) was a highlight. The cranky old guy that Gwen wins over and gets her need to have her hands in dirt. Something about winning over the cranky elders to see what they're really all about, when others just ignore them is a bonus when I see it.
