I've only been to Nashville once, but after reading this terrific novel, I feel like I've been there again. Set in a sweaty hipster music club called The Venue and told from the point of view of a mid-20s woman named Alison who is trying to find her place in this scene, this novel really makes the Nashville of the early 2010s -- right before it's exploded into what it is now -- seem like paradise.
It's definitely a sex, drug, and rock'n'roll novel -- but with a sweetness and coming-of-ageness that makes it really endearing. If you loved books like Jessica Anya Blau's Mary Jane or Matthew Norman's Charm City Rocks or Taylor Jenkins Reid's Daisy Jones and the Six or Allison Larkin's The People We Keep -- all novels about music and striving -- you'll love this too.
