Punk Rock Karaoke by Bianca Xunise
4.0
Bumping this up to four stars after the book club conversation.
I went into this book expecting plot. Do not go in looking for that! It is really a musical, queer, coming of age story about three queer friends navigating early adulthood and the punk rock scene. The art style was not my favorite, but we spent so much of our book club going back through and finding little references and details and bits of foreshadowing that it deserved to be rated up another .5 stars for that dedication alone. The songs throughout were such an amazing touch as well. Listen to the playlist as you read if you can as it really elevates the experience.
Moral of the story: book clubs are great!
