Once the most notorious rivals in the music scene, pop princess Mackenzie Waters and punk rockstar Sam Blaze electrified audiences as their bands clashed on stage. But behind the scenes, their simmering tension grew into something more — until suddenly both bands fell apart, and the idea of Mackenzie and Sam did, too.
Two years later, Sam has traded the rockstar lifestyle for a quiet life raising the son he didn’t know about. Meanwhile, Mackenzie is dealing with a postoperative change in her voice by only singing under a pseudonym. The only way to revive their public careers? A joint comeback album.
With fans over the moon and their futures on the line, Sam and Mackenzie face their biggest challenge yet: giving up the old rivalry and learning to work together. But as old sparks fly and new secrets emerge, they set off a chain reaction neither of them could have anticipated — one that proves that sometimes, the greatest hits are the ones yet to be written.

I adored this book; there are so many things I like about it that I don't know where to begin. This story was beautifully written, and I loved that it was about music; I enjoy reading books that incorporate music in some way. For The Record was my third book by Emma Lord, and it will not be my last. I love Emma's ability to make you fall in love with the story and the characters. I adored both Mackenzie and Sam, but most of all I adored their relationship. Every chapter left me wondering what would happen next between the two of them, and if they would finally realize how they felt about each other. Throughout the story, I rooted for both.
I adored Mackenzie. I admired how determined she was. Despite what she had to go through and how afraid she was, she continued to pursue her dreams. She expressed her emotions beautifully through music. I love how Sam and Mackenzie shared their connection through music. I loved how the music brought them together. I sensed it would transform Sam and Mackenzie from the first day they began working together. I liked that the book had music in every section. Everything was so vividly described that I was transported there and could hear the music. I still cannot get the story out of my head.
I adored Sam's relationship with his son. I loved how, when he found out he had a son, he did everything he could to be there for him. It was obvious how much his son adored him. My favorite part of the entire story was the ending; I'm still smiling as I think about it. I'm so glad I got to read Sam and Mackenzie's story. Among Emma’s books I've read, For The Record is my favorite. I am already excited to see what Emma Lord has in store for us next.
