Bad at Love | Blog Tour

Ever since Daniel moved to L.A. from Brazil to join the band Mischief & Mayhem, he’s become the tabloids’ bad boy. Paparazzi follow him and girls swoon over him . . . except for Sasha, who hates bad boys. When a chance encounter brings them together, Sasha sees an opportunity to get close to Daniel and write a story that will make a name for herself at the celebrity gossip magazine where she interns. But Daniel is surprisingly sweet and extremely cute—could she be falling for him?

The truth is: Daniel is hiding something. When Sasha discovers his secret, will she follow her heart or deliver the hottest story of the summer?

This was the peeeerfect summer read! It had fun adventures in the music industry, a diverse set of characters, and a heart in the midst of it all. Plus, it’s compared to How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days!

I love that this book takes place in the same universe as Like a Love Song. We get a glimpse into the lives of some of the characters we fell in love with in that book which is always nice.

Daniel is the sweetest guy ever! Throughout the book, he has a rep as this bad boy musician that is so far from the truth. This man is kind, sensitive, and just the biggest cinnamon roll. He was the perfect opposite to Sasha, our other protagonist. Sasha is on a mission to ruin said cinnamon roll which makes for an interesting story! Sasha and Daniel each go through their own arcs as they try to figure out what to do with each other and what to do with their futures.

There’s also talk of white privilege and how that plays into Daniel (who looks more white) immigrating from Brazil and Sasha (who looks more like a person of color) living in the states her whole life. This, coupled with their personal troubles and growth give this book so much heart and makes the characters incredibly real. I love that we’re able to get this glimpse into their minds and their hearts.

I love the famous person trope so this book was right up my alley. We get some “behind the scenes footage” as Daniel works on his music and with his band in LA. We also get to see a bit of the celebrity industry through Sasha’s eyes as she tries to write the story that will gain her the recognition she craves. I always love being able to spend some time in the entertainment industry through books so this was a real treat for me.

Overall, this was a great read for summer or anytime really! I loved the characters and loved the adventure that I was able to take through them. I would absolutely recommend this book!
