Their friend Maggie uploads a video of them performing on YouTube and their popularity takes off quicker than either could believe and neither takes the time to really think about what they want out of their talents and lives. A newly single Jade starts to explore his feelings and attraction towards men, Rylan is determined not to fall for Jade and keep people at a distance, and, yet they fall in love over a guitar, a journal and singing. So this was cute and easy, and I think if you are fans of One Direction or shipping your favorite musicians, TV stars, movie stars, etc. It’s not long, though, before Rylan and Jade develop feelings for each other and realize they share a love of music. It’s their last year in college, Rylan doesn’t do relationships, and he just wants to relax and have fun with his friends. Rylan Blake has just returned from a disastrous trip home and he and his best friend, Maggie, meet their new roommate, Jade Martin. At first, it’s a game, but as their fame grows, Rylan feels forced to choose: Does he stay and live a lie, or does he walk away from a life of fame-and from Jade? When Rylan and Jade sign a deal with a big music company, they’re ordered to hide their relationship from the public and take fake girlfriends. They compose songs and, at Maggie’s urging, post their work on YouTube-where the videos go viral and a music producer discovers them.īut hitting it big isn’t always a good thing, especially when it comes with a price.

But as the two men get to know each other and discover their mutual love of music, friendship becomes more. Love is the last thing Rylan expects when he meets Jade. After a disastrous trip home, Rylan and his best friend, Maggie, head back to Chicago to meet their new roommate, Jade Marin, and prepare for their final year of college. For Rylan Blake, love only complicates his life.
