Love Songs Suck

After growing up in Nashville with two musician parents, I promised myself one thing—I would never, ever fall in love with anyone who had anything to do with the music scene. I will take my stable, albeit boring, accountant boyfriend, thank you very much, and live securely ever after. At least, that was the plan. Who knew one ridiculous party where boy band sensation Finn Thatcher showed up would turn my life completely upside down.

How dare he write a song about me. A song that went straight to number one. A song that messes everything up with his band. And who gets the blame for that? That’s right, me. I’m the new Yoko Ono. The only way to fix it is to give the world what it wants—a love story. We are talking the whole freaking fairy tale. Nothing says true love like a fake relationship. But what if it’s not so fake? What if I want the happily ever after? Or am I just another love song to Finn?

Sweet story - loved the witty writing!

The main character is so believable and down-to-earth that you feel like she could be one of your real-life friends. I loved how each chapter name was also a song title! Becky Monson is such a clever writer. The witty descriptions and dialogue made it especially fun. I wanted to read (listen) to this non-stop. Cute storyline that had me pulling for the characters and finished with a satisfying epilogue. Might be my favorite Becky Monson book yet!

Fun story!

Love Songs Suck is my first Becky Monson book so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I don’t like when things get too silly in a romcom, but I like a lot of humor, humor that feels natural and not forced. This story delivered just that! It hit all the right spots for me! I loved the first person narrative and I really liked both Louella and Finn. Their romance slowly builds as the story progresses so it feels realistic - it was perfection! I really loved their late night texting sessions! I also loved Louella’s relationship with her teenage sister and Finn’s family was awesome! The pacing in this story was perfect! It never slowed, so I never lost interest. My only issue with this storys is that there was mild language throughout. I would’ve been much happier without it. With that being said, I really enjoyed everything else about this romance.

I listened to the audiobook of this story, which I highly recommend. I really loved the narrator and the the way she voiced the characters and made them come alive.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own. 4.5 stars.

Great story and great performance

I had read the ebook version of this story already, so I knew that I already loved the story. The characters are so lovable and great--so easy to relate to and root for. I think Fin might be my favorite fictional celebrity haha.

The narrator gave a great performance! She did a great job bringing the characters to (audio) life. I would listen to more of her audiobook narrations.

Cute Romance

The narration was wonderfully done! I enjoyed the story not usually a fan of love triangles but it was clear which guy you wanted to root for!

Great Narration

I loved this book the first time I read it. I think I love it even more now after listening to it. It is a fun read if you love boy bands, fake dating, and second chances. If you’re a rom-com lover you’ll love this one.
