Probably would’ve been a better read if I was just coming out / as a sex Ed tool in high school!

What do you do when one of your ex-band mates(and best friend) dies, and the other hopes to seek solace in the only other person who gets them?
David Holcomb personifies getting bitter AND better when Chance returns to town, after the death of their beatfriend-turned-super star-band mate Eli. Since leaving The Darkhearts before they hit the big time, David has been learning a new trade whilst finishing school - and Chance has been touring the world with Eli by his side.
I couldn’t put this book down, from the moment I picked it up. David’s internal monologues matched with the conversational dialogue within the book make for an easily read second-chance showmance!
Friends - to band mates - to rivals - to friends - to, well thats the million dollar question.
YA meets NA in this Achillean coming of age novel, juggling grief and loss of a best friend with fade to black spicy scenes.
