(Not So) Simple Lyrics: (Special Edition) Paperback – January 7, 2026

He was my first love.My first heartbreak.The boy who made the one mistake I’ll never forgive.Roderick Wilder and I grew up side by side—two kids tangled up in music, mixtapes, and lyrics that felt like they belonged only to us. Then he destroyed everything we had and disappeared, chasing a future without me.Twelve years later, he’s back.Not the rising star I remember, but a man who’s broken, scarred, and desperate to rewrite his story.The problem? I’ve already started falling for someone else—an anonymous stranger I trade late-night messages with, sharing lyrics and reliving the bands that shaped us.He feels safe.He feels new.He feels like everything Roderick isn’t.But soon I might need to choose between the stranger who makes me believe again . . .and the boy who once destroyed me.From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a nostalgic second-chance romance of mixtapes, dial-up confessions, and the one boy who broke her heart before the world ever knew his name.(Not So) Simple Lyrics is an emotional, nostalgic second chance which features your favorite tropes:🎸Slowburn🎸Rockstar🎸Bad boy🎸First love, childhood crush, it’s always been you🎸Wounded /Damaged / Tortured Hero🎸Epistolary novel🎸Redemption Read more
