You'd Be Mine by Erin Hahn

Quick synopsis: Annie Mathers is America’s sweetheart and heir to a country music legacy. If Superstar Clay Coolidge can’t convince Annie to join his summer tour, his music label is going to drop him. That’s what happens when your bad boy image turns into bad boy reality. Annie has been avoiding the spotlight after her parents’ tragic death.
From the start fans want them to be more than just tour mates, and Annie and Clay can’t help but wonder if the fans are right. But if there’s one part of fame Annie wants nothing to do with, it’s a high-profile relationship. She had a front row seat to her parents’ volatile marriage and isn’t interested in repeating history.
Goodreads Rating: 4.12
My Rating: 3.25
Would I recommend?: Only if you’re a country music fan and like YA contemporary romance.
Why?: The first half of this book was incredibly slow and to me completely unnecessary. The backstory and build-up was far too long. Thankfully, once we got further into the tour, things started to pick up. I really enjoyed the story between Annie and Clay (Jefferson). I really enjoyed the serious topics of addiction, suicide, and alcoholism that were touched upon in a YA book. It's something that isn't addressed enough for this age group. The ending was lacking a "big finale" as I had hoped for, since it seemed to just cut out and end at the CMAs. I figured there'd be this grand gesture that solidified that Jefferson and Annie were 100% together and making it work from Nashville to Indiana, but I didn't get that. Otherwise though, very cute book and a fun spring/summer read.
