Darkhearts by James L. Sutter
5.0
The band Darkhearts was started by three friends — Eli, Chance, and David. Before they made it big, David quit the band. He’s been dealing with jealousy ever since. That is until Eli died of alcohol poisoning and Chance came barreling back into David’s life.
Does David has a second chance of a life with Chance? Or maybe a second chance at fame in Darkhearts?
I absolutely loved this book. I completely understand why David was jealous, I’d have been too. Although, his frustration
did get a bit tiring but I think it was needed. The book wouldn’t have been the same without it. I adored seeing David learn about himself, understand why he made certain choices, and really grow from those revelations.
Chance was another fabulous character. I loved to see Chance grieving, growing, trying to be “normal”. I am clearly not famous, nor do I wish to be, but imho the author captured some of the negatives regarding that life quite well.
The secondary characters here definitely added to the plot. David’s best friend and his father were well developed. Chance’s little sister, although not in the book much, added a spark of lighthearted fun. Chance’s management team were ruthless in the best way.
There were were several scenes I wish I could reread again but for the first time. I loved the running from the paparazzi scene, David’s first visit back to Chance’s home, all of the scenes when David is at work, and more.
Solid five start read. I highly recommend.
