We Sold Our Souls by Grady Hendrix

Did not finish book. Stopped at 41%.

I can’t pinpoint why, but I just don’t like Hendrix writing. Maybe it doesn’t need an exact reason and I am just not a fan. I was excited when in the description it said 90’s Metal band and expected to see more of the bands rise to fame and then inevitable fall. What I did not expect is that it took place strictly in the present and they are all washed up wishing for their glory days to return and getting small paragraphs of Kris reminiscing of the past. It would have been interesting to see a dual story line; the past being told with the present of the band rising from the bottom all the way through to fame and then selling their souls and the inevitable consequences that would have followed. Not the main character whining because she has a crappy job and a gap in her memory of the night they all signed the contracts and then got screwed over by the lead singer. It makes me sad to see the potential this story had and to see what it ended up being.
