My rating: 2 of 5 stars
dates read: 2/21/2024 - 3/23/2024
trigger warnings for this book: fatphobia, rape, mentions of childhood sexual assualt, mentions of childhood abuse, arson, AND MORE!
This reads like a SGFG era Luke Hemmings!Small Town American Punk wattpad AU and not in a good way. Throughout my entire experience reading this book, I frequently had to put the Kindle down and laugh at how ridiculous the narrative was. Like why was there a plot point that a guitarist might have touched a kid??? And everybody was cool with that???
But I couldn't put it down. It was so compulsively bad that I finished the back half of this book in three days when previously it took me a month to get through 30%.
All in all, this book is crazy. Reads like a 2015 5 Seconds Of Summer crackfic. There's nothing redeeming about it. But I had fun I think????????????????
