"Beauty and the Bassist" is the ninth book in "The Extra" series. Janci and Megan have done it again! Shane Beckstrom and Allison Mendez are beautifully written protagonists. Both characters are the definition of being poles apart, but they have sizzling and mind-blowing chemistry. They are identical when it comes to going through life-changing events and being vulnerable. Their struggles make them realise that together they can make peace with their demons. But this comes with conflict which calls for communication. The different point of view for the characters flow seamlessly, and the character growth is memorable. I was rooting for them when every layer was exposed, and the ending brought a big smile to my face. The words of wisdom in this book struck a chord with me. The beauty pageant plot had wonderful characters, and there are relevant and important issues that are highlighted in this book.

I'm so excited about this series and can't wait to read more of them. I received an ARC from Megan Walker. This honest review is left voluntarily.
