Thank you to NetGalley and Hachette Children's Group for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Review
As soon as I saw a new S.A. Domingo book on NetGalley I knew I had to request it. Love, Secret Santa was such a cute book and I really like Domingo’s writing style.
This book did not disappoint, and I ended up loving Love on The Main Stage more than Love, Secret Santa. I ended staying up into the early hours because I was desperate to finish this book! It was so light-hearted and honestly adorable.
Nova is a brilliant main character, she is realistic and incredibly relatable, struggling with her future and what she wants to do. I mean what 16 year old didn’t go through that?! I also loved Nova’s relationship with her best friend Gemma. They both have each other’s backs and it honestly everything.
My only qualm with this book is that I would have liked to have seen what happened after and if Nova did end up pursuing a musical career. I felt that a lot of this book was focused on how she wasn’t sure whether she was going to take that leap and how nervous she was but then we never got the answer.
Love on the Main Stage is a cute read that flowed seamlessly, packed full with diversity, music, festivals and food that will have you hungry throughout! This is the perfect summer book, especially for teens and young adults! I cannot wait to read what Domingo writes next!
Rating: 4/5 stars
