DEBUT After a wild night out leads to public and professional backlash, Valerie Quinn is in desperate need of a PR glow-up to help save her musical TV show career. As the former lead singer of the cult-favorite and short-lived pop-punk band the Glitter Bats, Valerie is no stranger to drama and decides to leverage the promise of a reunion concert to help reform her reputation and save her show. And if her fans think she and bassist Caleb Sloane are dating, all the better, even if Caleb is afraid he will again end up heartbroken. Despite his misgivings and anxiety attacks, Caleb is hopeless to fight his chemistry with Valerie, which launched their young band to superstardom over six years ago, and their fake relationship soon becomes very real, threatening to recycle the bad drama from the past.
VERDICT A lyrical dual-POV romance debut that’s perfect for readers who enjoy elements of oral and print storytelling devices, such as in Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid, but crave a happily-ever-after too.
