For fans of Gayle Forman and Sarah Dessen, a musically gifted teen in 2008 Los Angeles gets caught up in the tumultuous world of a narcissistic rock star and his brilliant but heroin-addicted bandmate.
A story of love, music, addiction, and self-discovery from the author of A Song For The Road
Eighteen-year-old Shelby Rey has a secret superpower: she can hear people’ s deepest emotions and truths, in song form, just by touching them. But in a world where everyone guards their secrets, her gift feels more like a curse.
Life has been hard since she lost her dad, but it reaches a new low when she gets kicked out by her drug-addicted mom. Shelby’ s life hits a turning point, however, when she meets Zac Wyatt, a chart-topping rock star with a hidden side only she can hear. Swept into his world of fame and music, Shelby forms an electrifying connection with Zac that she can’ t resist.
But darkness lurks beneath the spotlight. Zac’ s jealousy of his bandmate Stanford, a troubled musical genius, threatens to destroy everything— and when Shelby uncovers Stanford’ s devastating truth, she faces an impossible choice that could shatter their world.
In a whirlwind of love, betrayal, heartbreak, and injustice, Shelby must find the courage to listen to her own inner song.
