Deep Cuts is like hanging out in a record shop, listening to banter. I may not know exactly who is being referenced, but it feels hip and cool just to be around.
Deep Cuts is just this - a smart, contemporary love story of the relationship between Joe and Percy.
Boy meets girl in a bar, they bond over their love of music. Joe makes music, Percy does not - but knows what she likes and has a gift for how to make music better.
Relationships, not so much.
This is author Holly Brickley's first novel, and she's Canadian-born by way of B.C. If this is what she's done with her debut, I absolutely cannot wait to read whatever it is she writes next. Deep Cuts is that good.
There's also a Spotify playlist of every accompanying song you need to keep up with the references in the story!
