Maybe America's Sweetheart is all fluff and no substance.
And maybe every guy she dates is fodder for her next breakup song.
But session drummer Remy Young doesn't care. Touring with Vivi Swan means more money than he and his brother could ever earn on their own. And he's smart enough to keep himself far away from drama.
Then a bus mix-up forces Remy and Vivi to spend hours together, and he's surprised to discover that she's nothing like the rumors said she'd be. When she asks for his help writing her next song, he's immediately on board—for professional reasons, of course.
Soon, it's clear that every variation of their song is just a different way to write a love letter, even as Remy wonders if he's setting himself up to be the next guy on her list of exes. And when Vivi's private life and public facade finally clash, a celebrity gossip blog threatens everything they've created together.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book. I’m a fan of Jackson Pearce’s YA books which are a lot of fun so I was very open to trying her adult fiction.
Well, that was fun!
Vivi Swan, (think Taylor Swift even with the red lipstick) is touring and meets Remy Young, a drummer and hopeful producer who tours with her when her drummer breaks his arm. I love Vivi. She is talented and hard working and does open up to Remy about the challenges of being famous. Sure there’s lots of perks and fun stuff but there’s also a lot of insecurities and public opinion and privacy issues. It made her less of a performer/image and more of a full character.
Remy is also a great character. He’s struggling with leaving his brother for a long period of time, who is a very talented musician/songwriter but also recovering addict. I loved their relationship. There as something very loving and authentic about Remy and and his brother’s relationship. Remy STILL worries about him, even though he’s been clean for years. He will always worry about him and this anxiety has repercussions for him. It gave a realism and weight to the novel which I liked, and also made Remy into a real person.
The plot moves fast, with some challenges coming directly from Vivi’s fame and others coming from Remy. It was well balanced, easy to read and perfect for the summer. It’s romantic sure, but it’s also about brothers and family and fame and I liked that the most. A lot of books only focus on one thing but Pearce did a good job writing well rounded plot.
Overall, the Six Ways To Write A Love Letter is the perfect summer read.
