My Ex, the Antichrist by Craig DiLouie
5.0

This book really struck a chord with me—pun intended. It’s about forming a band, but it’s so much more than that. The way it explores religion and how faith intertwines with music felt incredibly profound. Music isn’t just something these characters play; it’s almost like their own kind of religion, shaping who they are and how they see the world.
I loved how the story showed the highs and lows of creating something together, and how belief—whether in a higher power or in the music itself—can deeply affect us. It wasn’t preachy or heavy-handed; instead, it felt honest and thoughtful.
If you’ve ever felt music move you in ways words can’t describe, this book will definitely resonate. It made me think about how art and spirituality connect in unexpected ways.
