About this ebook

A USA Today–bestselling contemporary new adult romance about a woman chasing her dreams in NYC who falls for her sexy rock musician roommate.

Mia Kelly thinks she has it all figured out. She’s an Ivy League graduate, a classically trained pianist, and the beloved daughter of a sensible mother and offbeat father. Yet Mia has been stalling since graduation, torn between putting her business degree to use and exploring music, her true love.

When her father unexpectedly dies, she decides to pick up the threads of his life while she figures out her own. Uprooting herself from Ann Arbor to New York City, Mia takes over her father’s café, a treasured neighborhood institution that plays host to undiscovered musicians and artists. She’s denied herself the thrilling and unpredictable life of a musician, but a chance encounter with Will, a sweet, gorgeous, and charming guitarist, offers her a glimpse of what could be. When Will becomes her friend and then her roommate, she does everything in her power to suppress her passions—for him, for music—but her father’s legacy slowly opens her heart to the possibility of something more.

“Sassy and sweet, Sweet Thing melts in your mouth and goes straight to your heart!” —New York Times–bestselling author Katy Evans

Ratings and reviews

Its OKAY I haven't finished yet but so far I'm not THAT impressed. J like a romance story that will make me cry and happy which I have read many of (Finding Cinderella (FREE) ) and like, this book gives me a headache. At first, the connection between her and Will was so strong and cute and then suddenly she acts so rude, dates a divoiced man who has a child and is 8 YEARS older than her... Here I am at one am still reading hoping it will get better but so far no luck

Terrible. Hated the main character. Not the best writing and quite boring.

This is such a good book to read, it really keeps you turning pages.
