The singing in the audiobook!!!! Oh my gods. Beautiful. If you are looking to read this book, I highly recommend reading it on audiobook. 

This story is so beautiful and you can feel the passion come through the pages. The fact that we get to see the story for the movie they are working on is amazing. It tied the story together so well. 
 
Love the external pressures in their relationship and how they have to figure out how to navigate it.

To quote Dessi, they were not only the stars. They were the night—the dark sky without which no star can shine. How brightly they shone, leaving us a legacy lit by grit and enduring grace.
