MAZEY EDDINGS, WOW. This book is the slow burn trope at its absolute finest, and I am thoroughly wrecked. You Won’t Forget Me is peak pining and the dynamic between Cubby and Darcy is everything. The two bandmates falling in love story is always a good one, and this was a spectacular take on that specific trope.
After ARC reading Well, Actually, I was so stoked to have You Won’t Forget Me wind up in my inbox. The love and shared history between Cubby and Darcy flows so smoothly through this story. The subtle moments between them truly gave light to the difference between the love of two lifelong friends and the romantic love shared between those in love.
I loved the songwriting aspects of this story as well as the performances. The interactions between the bandmates were so entertaining, and each character really read as unique. It may have taken Cubby and Darcy a while to realize the true depth of their love for one another, but the journey was totally worth the wait.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and St. Martin’s Griffin for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

ARC Review: Not That Kind of Proposal by Victoria Lavine
Publication Date: July 21, 2026 Not that Kind of Proposal was the perfect dynamic duo of a romantic comedy! Jude and Gracie were so fun to watch fall in love. The quest that Gracie puts Jude through was hilarious, and their shared connection to both Larkwood and Jude’s grandma Agatha was a great way to…
