I received this book from NetGalley for a review. Wow, ya’ll, I loved this book. It was so good! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I loved Episode Thirteen so much and I assumed DiLouie was going to do something amazing with the concept. Thankfully, I was right!
In 2010, the lead singer of popular punk pop band, The Shivers, walked into a police station and confessed to murdering her ex-boyfriend. For the past decade, Lily and her bandmates refused interview requests, but she’s finally agreed to one and her bandmates follow her lead. This book is in interview format between the members of the band and those close to them. They recount their harrowing experiences with frontman Drake Morgan during their rise as a band and Morgan’s rise to evil.
I loved the format, the interview style worked really well as an audiobook and there is a different narrator for each character. Lily’s reflections on the creation of her band and grappling with loving someone evil were beautiful and cathartic. I found the book surprisingly moving.
This was such a fun read! I can’t wait to read more by this author. Get your own copy soon!
