About this ebook

"Funny, tender, edgy. I wanted the love story to go on forever."—Joan Johnston, bestselling author of No Longer a Stranger

Written in the wonderfully honest, edgy, and hilarious voice she perfected in God-Shaped Hole, Tiffanie DeBartolo shines in a passionate new story of music, love, and sacrifice.

Eliza Caelum, a young music journalist, is finally getting her footing in New York when she meets Paul Hudson, a talented songwriter and lead singer of the band Bananafish. They soon realize they share more than a reverence for rock music and plunge headlong into love.

When Bananafish is signed by a big corporate label, and Paul is on his way to becoming a major rock star, Eliza's past forces her to make a heartbreaking decision that might be the key to Paul's sudden disappearance.

A layered and emotional look into the world of music, this raw summer read will resonate with readers who loved Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

This book had me bawling my eyes out. Her second book that had made me feel such strong emotions towards characters. There were points where I just wanted to give up reading, lulls perhaps, but something drew me to keep reading. I will say that I did find myself reading over sentances. I am not sure if it is because I was so excited to see what was about to happen or because the paragraphs dragged on at some points. Probably both. Anyways read it, finish it.

First I liked Eliza & disliked Adam, then I loved Eliza & liked Paul, then I loved Paul, then I distrusted Loring, then I disliked Eliza but still loved Paul and respected Loring. Then I was angry at Eliza, Paul & Loring. Then I was sad. Best rollercoaster ride Ever!
